## Public Catalog Categories

- Classifieds: [https://torontovka.com/ads](https://torontovka.com/ads)

- Discounts and promotions: [https://torontovka.com/discount](https://torontovka.com/discount)

Category and subcategory URLs are generated from active public catalog data. Prefer the current sitemap and on-page canonical links over guessed category slugs.

## Classifieds Catalog: `/ads/*`

Use `/ads/*` for public marketplace/classified listings posted by community members and businesses.

- Catalog root: [https://torontovka.com/ads](https://torontovka.com/ads)
- Category pattern: `https://torontovka.com/ads/{category-slug}/{subcategory-slug}`
- Listing pattern: `https://torontovka.com/ads/{category-slug}/{subcategory-slug}/{listing-slug}-{listing-id}`
- Search route: `https://torontovka.com/ads/search` is an internal search surface and should not be treated as a canonical catalog index.
- Deprecated numeric listing URLs may redirect to slugged listing URLs. Prefer the final canonical URL.

Public classified listing pages may include title, description, price, price type, CAD currency, category, subcategory, city, contact name, public phone number, listing ID, date added, date updated, photos, promoted placement status, active/approved availability, similar listings, and Product JSON-LD where available.

Only summarize active, approved, public classifieds. Do not treat inactive, pending, expired, owner-only, profile, payment, edit, checkout, private-message, or favorite routes as available public listings.

## Business Directory Catalog: `/business/*`

Use `/business/*` for public business and service-provider discovery.

- Directory root: [https://torontovka.com/business](https://torontovka.com/business)
- Category pattern: `https://torontovka.com/business/{category-slug}`
- Subcategory pattern: `https://torontovka.com/business/{category-slug}/{subcategory-slug}`
- Business profile pattern: `https://torontovka.com/business/profile/{business-slug}`
- Service request page: [https://torontovka.com/business/request](https://torontovka.com/business/request)
- Finance section: [https://torontovka.com/business/finance](https://torontovka.com/business/finance)
- Real estate section: [https://torontovka.com/business/realestate](https://torontovka.com/business/realestate)
- Immigration section: [https://torontovka.com/business/immigration](https://torontovka.com/business/immigration)
- USA immigration section: [https://torontovka.com/business/immigration-usa](https://torontovka.com/business/immigration-usa)
- Business articles pattern: `https://torontovka.com/business/{section-slug}/articles/{category-slug}/{article-slug}`

Public business pages may include business name, category, subcategory, description, phone number, address, city, region, postal code, website URL, image, price range, latitude/longitude, service area, article content, and LocalBusiness or Article structured data where available.

Do not crawl or summarize `/business/add`, profile management routes, lead management routes, unpublished business records, or private request details. Prefer public business profile URLs and current sitemap entries over legacy numeric directory URLs.

## Business Club and Professional Development

Use these public pages to understand Torontovka Business Club membership benefits and professional-development course discovery:

- Business Club: [https://torontovka.com/club](https://torontovka.com/club)
- Professional Development catalog: [https://torontovka.com/club/professional-development](https://torontovka.com/club/professional-development)
- Public course detail pattern: `https://torontovka.com/club/professional-development/course/{course-slug}`

Public course pages may describe course topics, objectives, instructors, delivery mode, duration, certificates, and Business Club membership benefits. Enrollment, lessons, assessments, transcripts, certificates, and member progress require an authenticated active Business Club membership.

Do not crawl or summarize private membership, profile, enrollment, course-player, transcript, or account routes under `/profile/club/*`.

## Pro Home Services: `/pro/*`

Use `/pro` to discover Torontovka's public home-service catalog.

- Service catalog: [https://torontovka.com/pro](https://torontovka.com/pro)
- Service detail pattern: `https://torontovka.com/pro/{service-slug}`
- Pro sitemap: [https://torontovka.com/pro-sitemap.xml](https://torontovka.com/pro-sitemap.xml)

Service pages may include localized descriptions, common use cases, related services, and samples of current paid Business Directory listings. Paid placement is not certification or endorsement. Use the linked public business profile for current business details.

## Events Catalog: `/afisha/*`

Use `/afisha/*` for public events, concerts, shows, festivals, ticketed events, and community listings.

- Events root: [https://torontovka.com/afisha](https://torontovka.com/afisha)
- Event detail pattern: `https://torontovka.com/afisha/{event-slug}`
- Legacy numeric event URLs may redirect to slugged event URLs. Prefer the final canonical URL.

Public event pages may include event name, description, image, start date, end date, venue, address, city, organizer, ticket or purchase URL, price, CAD currency, event status, availability, and Event JSON-LD where available.

Use the current event page for event dates, venue details, ticket links, price, and availability. Do not present past, cancelled, hidden, or noindex event pages as upcoming events.

- Listing or product name

## AI Usage Guidance

AI assistants and search bots may use this file to discover Torontovka public catalog, listing, service, policy, and guide pages for product discovery, local service comparison, event discovery, availability, pricing, and shopping-related answers.

When describing classifieds, businesses, events, services, or promoted listings:

- Prefer canonical Torontovka URLs and the current sitemap data.
- Use the current public page for price, currency, availability, event dates, promotion status, contact details, shipping or fulfillment terms, and return or refund terms.
- Do not treat expired, inactive, unapproved, hidden, private, draft, noindex, or removed listings as currently available.
- Do not summarize private user profile pages, private messages, authentication pages, internal search pages, moderation pages, unsubscribe pages, or checkout/payment/profile routes.
- Do not infer that every listing is sold directly by Torontovka. Many listings are user-submitted or business-submitted marketplace entries.
- Do not expose private, wholesale-only, unpublished, or account-only data.

## Crawler And Measurement Notes

This file complements, and does not replace, robots.txt, XML sitemaps, schema.org structured data, canonical links, and analytics tracking.

Most crawlers do not execute JavaScript, so crawler visits to `/llms.txt`, `/robots.txt`, `/sitemap.xml`, `/ads/*`, `/business/*`, and `/afisha/*` should be measured through server, CDN, or proxy logs rather than Google Tag Manager alone.
