Hey, thanks for getting back to me and taking a look. Newtown and Johnny's Diner were just sample names I came up with. If you go to the homepage, you'll see links to area searches and the 3 most recent;y added restaurants. I didn

Thanks alot for this very detailed response. That's interesting about Google's war with aggregators but makes total sense now that you say it. I do plan on integrating opentable, that'll be the next feature I add, if I stick

For something like "newtown restaurants" I hwas hoping the search results page for that would rank, something like menucosm.com /restaurants/newtown-123 . On that page I have good canonical URL, pagination, rich text, SE

Initially I was targeting users, eyeballs on the site. If I could get a few 1000 a month, my plan then was to approach investors, saying "I've got this many people using the site, this is how I plan to make money". So, I have

Thanks :-) I've learned loads developing the site, so it hasn't been a total waste.

Yeah, so freemium services to the restaurants was one of my ideas of making money. However, as you've pointed out, restaurants "just don't like to spend money where it isn't absolutely necessary", which is an intere

Thanks for this. The main use case is "Hungry people looking for a place to eat" when they know where they want to go, or near their current location if on mobile. I guess the market's too saturated for something so generic n

OMG, this is an amazing idea! Thank you so much. Something like this would get me the inbound links I need. It might involve some sort of a pivot, but definitely worth investigating. I do have one unique feature in that the reviews are link

Yeah it was when I noticed that TripAdvisor listings for a given restaurant were featuring higher than the restaurant's ACTUAL webpage, that I thought I might be too late. However, individual restaurant listings aren't my priority

Cool, thanks so much for the encouragement. In terms of functionality, yes, there's LOTS more I could build for sure, both from the regular user and the restaurant owner sides. I was trying to keep it quite minimal, but now that you po

TBH, I originally thought SEO would be enough to get some eyeballs, but as you point out, that's totally not the case! I tried contacting a few local food blogs, but none of them ever got back to me. Other than that, I've just tol

Ah ok, sorry to hear that. With such a small development team, it sounds like it could be hard to move into management. However, this should also present opportunities: if you see something that needs to be done and no one's dealing wi

I'm in a similar position at the moment. Basically what you want to do is ask for more responsibility from your PM, specifically to do work they'd normally do. Over time, that work will become part of your responsibilities. As you
