I’m working on building a better Business search service with a strong emphasis on mailing list.

The idea is to give small to mid size businesses a tool to generate geographically and/or category based well targeted mailing list for their marketing campaign.

Mailing list are generally huge files pretty much unusable by a small business owner with a constant contact account, we are looking to change that.

SMS gateway running on an Android device. Lets you setup an SMS service without messing with hardware/software installations.

Particularly useful in developing regions with no Twilio/Textmarks/etc and strong need for SMS apps.

* Looking for beta testers * (anywhere in the world...)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Great looking site and very easy to use. Obviously the report is a lot nicer than that Google one that you can get emailed in PDF format, but what other advantages are there? To me the "best" setup would be to avoid the PDF and get the report directly in my mailbox. I know that would require unique graphics for each email, but is that the only barrier from going with that approach?

Thanks for the feedback. The email-only option is definitely on our list, it will be a bit tricky due to the different mail clients but still doable.

I agree. I recently unsubscribed from Metric Mail because I didn't want to look at PDFs of my analytics. I want them right in the email. Once you push that feature I'll likely resubscribe!
