Frequently asked questions
Why does Payotte list only one expert per profession in St. Catharines?
Because one clear, verified recommendation is more useful than a crowded directory. For St. Catharines, Payotte names a single professional per trade, selected on public data — not on who pays.
How is the St. Catharines expert chosen?
On verifiable public signals: Google reviews, years of experience, an active licence on the regulator's register, and a genuine local presence in St. Catharines. Each criterion is scored separately and the detail is published on the expert's profile, so you can see exactly why that professional was chosen.
Is being listed on Payotte free for professionals in St. Catharines?
Yes. Listings are free, independent and carry no ads or commissions. A professional can confirm or correct their profile at any time.
