Good luck. Few things: Left hand side coverage bar shows options that are not available? If not available dont show the off toggle just remove them? Searches are returning irrelevant results. If you don't have, you could suggest user to add it if they know somewhere they're looking for/do a quick add feature. Also, add features to make reaching the site more useful/ not everyone uses google maps/consider local map offline providers for directions., how you can compliment the user journey.

love the idea, but first question had bad results: where can i buy gluten free dog food Found 1 CityLens matches for “where can i buy gluten free dog food”. Sun Heaven Hotel Ikoyi leads the shortlist for hotel in Victoria Island. "3 layers, built in order". dont require scrolling to expand these sections, its not very user friendly and forces the text across the page vertically. The answer section - feels like it should be a map, but it's just text response. same with the next section.

how's it different than google maps 1. Design is screaming Opus - buy a coffee to your designer friend, help them out on what's needed 2. Less is more - get rid of most of your copy, and you realize your service looks better good luck

Great Feedback

thank you so much for the feedback the difference between citylens and google map is how citylens make sense of locations, discovering and structuring real-world local intelligence The goal is for CityLens to become a searchable location data layer that helps people, businesses, developers, and AI agents understand what exists in an area, what it offers, and how to find or interact with it, including places that may never be properly represented on traditional maps.
