What is communityof.com

A dedicated business and community listing platform focused on local life. Unlike large ad-driven companies such as Google, Microsoft, or Lycos, this project isn’t shaped by marketing priorities. It’s built to highlight communities, not monetize them.

What does communityof.com provide?

communityof.com is a growing directory of businesses and community information across Nova Scotia. It brings together cities, towns, villages, hamlets, and other local areas into one easy‑to‑browse place.

The platform exists for communities — not for ad networks. Advertising is reserved strictly for local businesses, keeping the focus on the people who live and work here.

What you’ll find in most listings

Clickable addresses that open directly in Google Maps or Microsoft Maps
A link to the business’s website
Tap‑to‑call phone numbers on mobile devices
Click‑to‑email options that open your preferred email app (Outlook, Gmail, etc.)

Everything is designed to be simple, practical, and easy to use.

SBLB: Safe Business Listing Browsing

communityof.com is built to reduce the frustration and risk that often comes with online searching.

We’ve all been there: You search for a business, click a result that looks right, and end up on a spam site or an ad‑stuffed page pretending to be the real thing.

communityof.com works to prevent that experience. Links are checked and updated whenever possible. Sometimes a business or community loses a domain name, and it gets taken over by unrelated or unsafe sites — when that happens, we want to know.

If you ever find a link that looks suspicious or incorrect, please email communityof.com so it can be fixed quickly.

No “Clickbait” Images to Filter Through

“Clickbait is a text or thumbnail link designed to attract attention and entice users to follow it, typically through deceptive, sensationalized, or misleading content.” — Wikipedia

communityof.com avoids this entirely.
No misleading thumbnails, no attention traps, no clutter.
