Accurate local business information, powered by community
We've all been there: you're looking for a specific service in your area, and you can't find accurate information. Is that restaurant still open? Did that shop move? Is there a new mechanic in town?
Local business directories get outdated fast. Google listings are incomplete. Word-of-mouth is unreliable. The result? People waste time searching, calling closed numbers, and getting frustrated.
Ask Central BC is a simple AI chat interface that answers questions about local businesses — but with a human difference. Every business in our directory is verified by us, not crowdsourced. Hours are current. Status is accurate. Closed businesses don't appear.
You ask a question. You get a real answer. No ads, no outdated data, no guessing.
Accuracy is everything. When a business signs up, we verify the data through:
Listings are added as soon as verification is complete — usually within a few days. Sponsored Partners get priority updates.
We're starting in Vanderhoof because it's the geographic heart of Central BC. If this works, we're expanding along Highway 97 — Prince George, Kamloops, and the communities in between.
The goal: a verified, AI-powered directory that actually stays current, one community at a time.
Whether you own a shop, run a service, or know a great place that should be listed, let's talk.
