An honest answer

So… what's the catch?

There isn't one.

Good Neighbours is built around discovering and recommending great local businesses.

When we're exploring a new business or category, we want to provide value for your time. Instead of asking you to sit through a sales pitch, we'd rather start by learning about your business and creating something valuable.

If we believe you're a business we'd genuinely recommend, we'll create your recommendation video at no cost. The video is yours to keep and use however you'd like.

Afterward, if we think there's a strong fit, we'll also introduce you to Good Neighbours and explain how our ongoing partnerships work.

There is absolutely no obligation to become a partner.

  • No cost for the video
  • The video is yours to keep
  • No sales pitch to start
  • No obligation, ever
We'd rather show you the value of Good Neighbours than tell you about it.

The standard

Who do we recommend?

We're not looking for just any business. We're looking for local businesses we'd feel confident recommending to our neighbours.

Did we reach out to you?

Then something about your business caught our attention: your reviews, your reputation, or the way people in your community talk about you. Applying is how we get to know you properly.

  • Great reputation

    Businesses known for taking care of their customers.

  • Great product or service

    You genuinely deliver something worth recommending.

  • Local connection

    You're invested in the community you serve.

  • A story worth sharing

    There's something interesting behind what you do and why you do it.

  • People who care

    You care about your customers, your reputation and the experience you provide.

We don't feature every business that applies.

The purpose of the initial conversation is to learn more about your business and determine whether it's something we'd feel comfortable recommending.

Is the recommendation video really free?

Yes. If we select your business to be featured, there is no cost for us to create the recommendation video.

Why did Good Neighbours reach out to me?

We look for businesses with a strong local reputation: great reviews, loyal customers, and people who speak highly of them. If we contacted you, something about your business stood out. Applying helps us learn the rest of your story.

Do I have to become a Good Neighbours partner?

No. There is no obligation to become an ongoing partner.

Can I use the video myself?

Yes. The finished recommendation video is yours to use across your website, social media and other marketing.

What happens on the 15-minute call?

We simply want to learn about your business, your story, your customers and what makes you different.

Does every business that applies receive a video?

No. Good Neighbours is a recommendation platform, so we only create recommendation videos for businesses we believe are a good fit.

What happens after the video?

We'll provide you with the finished video. If we believe there's an opportunity to work together further, we'll also introduce you to our ongoing Good Neighbours partnership. There is no obligation.
