Our Mission
Edmonton Spotlight exists to help locals discover the businesses, deals, and events that make this city great — and help those businesses stand out, connect, and grow.
Great local businesses are everywhere in Edmonton — but finding them shouldn't require digging through generic national directories, outdated listings, or scattered social media posts.
And if you own a local business? Standing out online shouldn't require a marketing degree or a massive budget. You should be able to show up where locals are looking, share what makes you different, and connect with your community — easily.
That's why we built Edmonton Spotlight.
For Edmontonians
Whether you're new to the city or a lifelong Edmontonian, we make it easy to find exactly what you're looking for.
No more guessing. Search by category, neighborhood, or keyword to find exactly what you need — from trusted contractors to your next favorite restaurant.
Local businesses offer promotions and specials you won't find on national platforms. We put them front and center so you never miss a deal.
Markets, festivals, grand openings, community gatherings — find out what's happening in Edmonton this week without scrolling through five different apps.
See verified listings, read about what makes each business unique, and connect directly — no middlemen, no algorithms hiding the good stuff.
For Local Businesses
Everything you need to get noticed, build trust, and grow — without the complexity or cost of traditional marketing.
Your listing is your digital storefront. Add photos, hours, descriptions, and social links to make a strong first impression on locals actively looking for you.
People search Edmonton Spotlight when they need something local. We help you show up at the exact moment someone is looking for what you offer.
Track how many people view your listing, click your phone number, visit your website, and request directions. Real data, updated weekly.
Receive customer messages, respond to inquiries, and build real relationships — all through one platform, no extra tools required.
Three principles that guide everything we build.
We're not Yelp. We're not Google. We're Edmontonians building for Edmonton. Every feature, every category, every decision is made with our city in mind.
Every business deserves online visibility. Basic listings are free — forever. Pro features exist for businesses that want to go further, but showing up should never cost a dime.
Businesses, events, deals, neighborhood guides, reviews — everything you need to navigate Edmonton's local scene, in one place. No app-hopping, no fragmented info.
Today, we're the directory Edmonton didn't know it needed. Tomorrow, we want to be the platform every Edmontonian opens when they're looking for something local.
We're building toward a future where local businesses have powerful tools to grow — AI-powered customer engagement, smart analytics, automated marketing — without the enterprise price tag. And where every resident can discover the full richness of what Edmonton has to offer.
