604list started with a simple idea: the best way to know which Vancouver businesses are actually good is to meet the people who run them.
Where it came from
604list is the project of Josh Loewen, founder of The Status Bureau.
Running The Status Bureau, a Vancouver SEO and digital marketing agency, has put Josh across the table from hundreds of business owners and operators: founders, managing partners, builders, bankers, restaurateurs and the people who quietly keep this city running. Every one of those conversations ends the same way, with someone asking, “Do you know a good…?”
Josh usually did. 604list is that answer, written down: a hand-picked list of the Vancouver and Lower Mainland businesses worth calling, kept by someone who has actually met the people behind them.
How the list works
- Hand-picked and researched. Every company on the list is researched and written up by us. Businesses can’t edit their own listing.
- Paid spots are always labelled. Some placements on the list are paid. They’re clearly marked “Sponsored”, so you always know which is which.
- Local first. Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, the North Shore and the rest of the Lower Mainland.
- Real reviews are coming. When they arrive, every reviewer will sign in with LinkedIn first.
