Canada’s principal commercial business directory, operated by Yellow Pages Digital & Media Solutions Limited. A free online listing is requested through the operator’s solutions site, and the same company’s terms define YellowPages.ca and its French counterpart PagesJaunes.ca as one set of sites.
Domain Rating ist eine datierte Ahrefs-Momentaufnahme der Domain-Autorität. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating is measured by Ahrefs and read through their public Domain Rating API. Each value carries the date it was read and describes the whole domain that was measured, not the individual page it appears beside. Where several records are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated reading rather than each carrying a figure of its own. A record shown as not measured is a record nobody has a reading for, which is not the same as a record measured at zero. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, geschätzter traffic and verweisende domains, so they are not published for any record.
The operator is named unambiguously in its own terms: sites are “OWNED AND OPERATED BY YELLOW PAGES DIGITAL & MEDIA SOLUTIONS LIMITED”, and the same entity holds the YellowPages.ca and Canada411 trademarks.
A free listing route is documented on the operator’s own solutions site under the heading “REQUEST YOUR FREE ONLINE LISTING”.
Public business profiles are openly accessible, with no login required to view them.
Ratings appear on business profiles and the operator’s help section describes account holders being able to “give your opinion on your favourite businesses”, so a consumer review function is documented.
Einschränkungen
The free listing is REQUESTED, not published. The operator’s wording is “REQUEST YOUR FREE ONLINE LISTING”, and what the free tier contains is not enumerated on that page.
Everything else the operator sells around the listing — priority placement, websites, search and social advertising, print — is a separate paid product, and none of it is evidence about the base listing.
Creating a listing is confirmed; claiming an existing third-party profile is not documented, so no claim flow is asserted.
Whether verification is required, and by what method, is not documented, so nothing about verification is asserted.
Ratings and consumer opinions are documented, but whether a business can respond to them is not, and is not asserted.
The operator’s free-listing page carries a 2023 copyright line while the directory itself carries a current one, so the solutions site is less actively maintained than the directory.
A listing is a directory entry. It is not evidence that a business is solvent, currently trading, licensed, or checked beyond what the operator documents here.
No ranking, indexing, traffic or lead outcome is asserted. The operator markets outcomes; this record does not adopt them.
Canadian businesses wanting a listing in the country’s best-known commercial directory.
Businesses serving both English and French markets, since one operator runs both language properties under one set of terms.
Nicht empfohlen für
Businesses wanting to publish a profile directly. The free route is a request submitted to the operator, not self-service publication.
Anyone who needs the free tier’s exact contents documented in advance. The operator sets those out only after contact.

No common mistakes recorded yet.
Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
