Workers had a hard time keeping up with the demand, things should be better now.

I think i'll go this route. Would of loved to do freemium but based on how things went yesterday it will just suck up too much work to support properly.

Thanks for all the tips, very useful.

Zomato is a source nearby buzz can retrieve reviews from but I agree. It would be nice if there was an API that would make it easy for it to digest custom data.

Any thoughts on how to do so? I did notice several people signing up for websites and not physical locations. Seems kinda of weird to have messaging for "this must be a physical location!"

Thanks for catching these. Will fix them right away. I'm a one man show, bound get a few things wrong.

Currently it's for physical locations only. I'm hoping to move to products and companies like ecommerce in the future.

I've actually heard this before; for locations such as Amy's Baking Company you really do get an inside look into the day to day operations of the business. During the preview you can only have one location but when I complete the product users can have unlimited locations. There would be a fee for every additional location.

For social media platforms like twitter the user can reply, retweet or favorite directly. Posts from google plus have links directly to the posts and such. Love to do some of the features of hootsuite but had to start limiting the scope to get something to launch. I am in DC! Send me an email at hello(at)datafocusllc(dot)com.

Glad you like it! I thought about the pricing for a long time and since my costs are low I figure I could offer low priced plans and undercut any competition but maybe that thinking is wrong. The free plan is designed to give people a good taste of the product but it's missing key things like email alerts that make it really useful, I could see mom and pop shops upgrading just to get that feature. I like to keep the free version to give business owners a good incentive to sign up where I can hopefully upgrade them but maybe that is more trouble then it's worth. $99/month is a bit much but $40/month might be a better price.

Thanks!

Yep. Spend way too much time on it but it was my first real web design. Come from an agency background where I worked with designers.

Thanks you! and good points.

A video would definitely help explain the product a bit, i'll get on this for sure.

I was able to reproduce the back button issue, i'll fix this right now.

Good point. I did have to limit it to US only, natural language processing can get really hard, especially if you don't speak the language. Using natural language processing to extract keywords from reviews. Actively looking on how I can add more areas, hopefully add more countries in the future.
