Hello,
This sounds like a brilliant idea!
I would love to help out in any way that I can.
I could not see an attachment in your project description, however, I would complete this job by using my local knowledge of Australia, coupled with my vast experience with web research and data entry and lastly, my common sense to establish relevancy to the categories you provide.
Without knowing the categories, it is hard to say exactly how I would compile the data or where I would search however, I would assume that Google, Yellow Pages, Local Council/Community websites, local forums, government listings of available services and schools in the selected area, would be a good place to start.
I would probably use Google Maps to ensure that I am sticking to the selected area.
I would probably come up with a scale of ratings, (that I would run past you first) to use for rating the services. This way you can be sure that the ratings are consistent.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. If I am not selected, I would like to wish you all the best of luck with this worthwhile project.
Sincerely,
Amy Twigg
