Default Re: New Australian Business Directory

Your home page headline says "Search for a product, service or business in Australia"

OK, I appreciate this a new venture and you don't have all states and categories populated yet.

However...put yourself in the shoes of someone who's found your search engine. They search in WA (or wherever) and find no businesses listed. Instant frustration for them. Instant loss of credibility for clickfind because you don't have the national coverage your headline promises.

If I were an ordinary user looking for information, I wouldn't have persisted. The reason why I tried two or three times was because I wanted to write a comment here.

Here's a couple of suggestions:

If there's a state without a listing, omit it from the state checkboxes, or grey it out.

Add a sentence or two of explanatory text on the home page to explain which states you do have listings for.

Anyway, hope it turns out to be a great success. If Sensis Yellow Pages put themselves up here for review they'd cop heaps.
