Our Connect Ottawa Business and Local Business Portal teams understand what it's like to be a smaller business trying to grow its income. Advertising can be so expensive that it is often beyond reach for a small business, which still needs to promote its brand. Many online directories advertise that they are free, but once you go check them out, most of them are just trials for a few days, or the free listing you get is so minor it won't do you any good. Even worse is the upsell to a more expensive tier that you may be subjected to by aggressive sales people!
As one of the several individual websites associated with the Local Business Portal business directory, the concept behind Connect Ottawa Business was designed by Affordable Web Design Ltd.
As a well-known web design and development business serving businesses across Canada for almost 30 years, we are very proud of our success in helping Canadian businesses be found through internet searches. We are pleased to launch our www.ConnectOttawaBusiness.com website and encourage all area small business owners to subscribe to our Portal. We hope that you will see this as a great opportunity to advertise your business at a very low monthly cost and we look forward to having you on board!

We understand how to create websites that can be found in top ranks through the internet. Because of this, not only have we created a suberb online advertising directory, we have also built individual websites for a few locations across Canada which link to the main Local Business Portal website. We will also be adding more as more advertisers subscribe to our Local Business Portal across Canada.
By creating a completely separate website for Ottawa and surrounding areas and linking it to the advertising Portal, our subscribers get double the potential exposure.
- Most online directories are all text with very few images. They are mostly pretty cut and dried!
- You may get a listing showing your contact information wherever your business is located, but that's usually about it.
- If you get more, then you are paying a whole lot more as well.
- Our www.localbusinessportal.ca website is very, very different.
- Our overall layout is colourful and attractive.
- All listings are organized by categories, and then by sub-categories, which makes your listing easy to find.
- Not only can people find you through your business location, but you can add as many service locations as you want, in order to increase the potential of being found!
