We are now allowing advertising on two places on BestPlumbers.ca:
- On our city ranking pages
- On our individual company profile pages
City Ranking Pages
On our city ranking pages that list and rank the best plumbers in a specific city, 3 advertising spots are available. The cost to advertise in each spot is as follows:
- $400 per month for the first ad that is highest up on the page
- $300 per month for the next highest ad
- $200 per month for the lowest ad on the page
Advertising in these spots is restricted to the top ranked plumbing companies. The highest ad on the page is first offered to the highest ranked plumbing company. If they don’t wish to advertise, then the next highest ranked company is given the opportunity to advertise. We continue in this fashion working our way down the ranking list until the three advertising spots are filled. It is our intention to only allow top ranked plumbing companies to advertise on our city ranking pages.
When you pay for one of the advertising levels listed above, your ad will show up on all of our city pages for each of the municipalities within your entire metropolitan area that you serve. The only exception to this is the Greater Toronto Area (it is split into two areas: Toronto and then all surrounding municipalities/cities).
If your company only serves a small part of your metropolitan area, we can adjust the first two ad rates to better reflect the smaller area that you may wish to advertise to.
You can see an example of 3 ads on a city page here.
Company Review Pages
For top ranked plumbing companies in each city, we have a unique company review page for each company. Every company is allowed to advertise on their own company review page. The cost of advertising is $50 per month. If a company spends $300 or more in advertising with us per month, then we will include their company review page ad for free.

Creating a Company Ad
Any company that advertises with us is welcome to provide us with their own 300 pixel wide x 250 pixel high ad. However, we can also create a complementary ad for a company once they sign up to advertise with us. Please note: a company ad cannot include any reference to either their ranking on BestPlumbers.ca or anything about BestPlumbers.ca. However, it can promote any aspect of a company’s services – including features that aren’t mentioned on BestPlumbers.ca.
Advertising Does Not Effect Rankings
Whether a company choose to advertise on BestPlumbers.ca or not, this has no effect on their ranking. Our ranking algorithm is not informed of anyone’s decision to advertise or not advertise. Our goal is to always remain as objective as possible, and we do not allow advertising to influence our rankings in any way.
