Business and Economy

This category is for websites about local business and economic activities, including listings of companies and industries. In most cases, businesses are placed by their physical location(s), not by their service area. Exceptions involve certain "come-to-you" businesses, such as caterers, in which the services are provided at the customer's location. The retail businesses and restaurants listed in this category have their locations solely within this city. For those with locations in multiple cities, see the appropriate county, region, or higher-level category.

Some types of businesses are located under other categories, such as the Arts and Entertainment, Recreation and Sports, and Travel and Tourism categories. If you are looking for a business related to one of our other listed topics, check there.

This category is for websites about local businesses involved in construction and maintenance.

Construction and maintenance companies are placed in this directory according to their office location(s), not their service area. Sites about industry organizations, if any, may or may not be found here, depending on their focus. If an organization's site contains such things as a membership directory, or other information that would be useful to consumers, it is likely to be placed here. Alternatively, if it focuses solely on professional industry issues, it is likely to be listed instead in the Business and Economy:Organizations category.
