Response to feedback on home gardeners project

Thank you very much Margaret, CL and Betty for your comments. These were all
helpful.

In answer to the "what's in it for me?" question:

For consumers it's a convenient one-stop shop to find and compare locally
offered services via standardized profiles. They can find individuals and
bigger companies side by side by searching on required services. It will be
much easier than searching via Google or Yellow Pages. 

For the service providers it's a cheap and easy way to advertise to the
local community. It enables those who are not so savvy with websites and
keywords to be easily found on the web. There will also be a number of
additional benefits that I am not at liberty to disclose yet.

So this is not a franchise, but a shop window with added perks. Each service
provider simply pays an annual fee to be listed.

Is the idea of having a profile listing on this site an attractive
proposition for garden writers who offer gardening/advice services?

Miriam
