Hi Product Hunt, I'm Mitchell from Brisbane. Listing a small business online in Australia usually comes with a sales call attached, or a monthly fee before you show up anywhere useful. I wanted a directory where the basic listing costs nothing and stays that way. Searching is free and listing is free. Owners who want to sit higher in their category can pay a one-off A$29 for Premium, with no subscription. I'd love feedback on the search, and on what would make a listing more useful to you.
