Mystery shopping in Edmonton

You can select a start date when booking, with visits normally scheduled within the following five days. If you want a particular day, such as an Oilers game night or a Fringe weekend, include that request in the “Anything else worth flagging?” box. Specific timing depends on agent availability.

Do you cover the rest of the Edmonton region?

We accept bookings across the Edmonton region, including St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove and Leduc. Enter your business address when booking so we can determine agent availability for the assignment.

Are the mystery shoppers actually based in Edmonton?

Yes. We only assign shoppers who live within their stated travel radius of your business, so the person walking into your Edmonton location is a real local customer who has no connection to your business. We never use call-center or AI-generated reports.

What kinds of businesses can be mystery shopped in Edmonton?

Most often: restaurant, cafe, cannabis, retail, plus gyms, dental practices, cannabis dispensaries, and other service businesses across Edmonton. If you can buy something or be served at your business, we can shop it.

How long until I get the mystery shopping report?

Reports for Edmonton missions are typically delivered within 7–14 days of booking. We schedule the visit window, dispatch a vetted local shopper, and QA the report internally before it lands in your inbox, with photos and a clear pass/fail on the checks you picked.

Can I tell the mystery shopper what to focus on at my Edmonton business?

Absolutely. At booking you choose up to 5 specific things the shopper should pay extra attention to (for example "did they suggest a wine pairing", "was the bathroom clean", or "did the cashier mention the loyalty program") on top of the standard service, cleanliness, and product checks.

Is mystery shopping legal in Alberta?

Yes. Mystery shopping is a standard, legal market-research practice in Alberta and every Canadian province. Shoppers act exactly like regular customers: they buy, observe, and report. They never deceive in a way that creates legal exposure for you.
