Part of why Shopbayofquinte works so well for local businesses is because of this very principle. Our platform gets stronger when every small business joins and uses our site regularly. When Google crawlers are looking for results; they go to sites with relevant and current content. It is also seeking sites with lots of activity. As a small business, it is difficult to compete. But as a whole community, each business turns into a super power! Join the #shoplocal movement! Add your business profile today to your community site.... more

Thank you to all those that serve and protect us today and the veterans that gave the ultimate sacrifice. #supportourtroops
