Great work, especially since you did it yourself, you really put your heart and soul into the project and not in vain, it is truly unique and I appreciate it, good luck with further development, you can add local pages (like the most popular services) this will save mobile traffic.

Thank you, I appreciate it. For local pages I do have that planned, it will take a bit of time to make a native local index due to many problems such as businesses closing and not reporting it. This is one area that Google has such a strong advantage - user submitted content - and one I would need to find a way to automate. I have various plans and maybe one of them would work. The other option is to outsource it to an API, at least to buy time.
