Wire · Blue Crane's trade media network

Advertise to Ontario contractors.

The people reading this registry are contractors and operations staff working out what they are required to file, post, keep or renew. If you sell to that person — supply, equipment, insurance, bookkeeping, training, safety — there is not a warmer page in Ontario to be on.

This is one title on a network

Ontario Trade Registry is part of Wire, the trade media network Blue Crane Works owns and operates. Six titles, two audiences: contractors running businesses, and homeowners actively pricing work. You can buy this title alone, or the whole network in one placement.

  • Ontario Trade Registry — compliance, licensing and safety-log reference. Contractors.
  • Trades Tax Calculator — what self-employed trades owe, province by province. Contractors.
  • Hamilton Home Costs — what home projects cost in the Hamilton area. Homeowners.
  • Local Wire — Hamilton and Burlington news from the public record. Homeowners.
  • Blue Crane Works and Sons Network — the company site and the Kingdom business directory.

How a Wire placement works

  • Direct, not auctioned. You buy a placement on a title for a term. Nobody outbids you for it mid-campaign.
  • Your competitor cannot buy your slot. Exclusive placements are available and are honoured by the ad server, not by a promise.
  • Publisher reporting. Impressions and clicks come from our own first-party counting on sites we operate. You get a live reporting link.
  • Counted honestly. An impression means at least half the ad was on screen for one continuous second — the IAB display standard. Not "the page loaded".
  • Clean pages. Slots are capped, marked Sponsored with the advertiser named, and carry rel="sponsored". No pop-ups, no interstitials, no cookies, no retargeting.

What it costs

Placements are priced by title and term. Current traffic figures for the titles that match your audience are provided before anything is agreed — we do not quote a price against numbers you have not seen. Founding rates are open while the network is young.
