Show HN: I built a directory to save local PTs from the "pay-per-lead" trap

Hi HN, I'm a software engineer who spent the last year helping a local independent PT escape the nightmare of WhatsApp booking admin and bloated SaaS tools. We built a lean, web-based token system for his scheduling using C# and SQL, keeping it as lightweight as possible. But we realized booking wasn't the biggest issue local discovery was. The 'pay-per-lead' models (like Bark) charge trainers £15 just to message a lead who often ghosts them. On top of that, local search is shifting. People are asking ChatGPT/Perplexity for local recommendations, and traditional websites aren't formatted for AI crawlers to confidently read. So, I built WorldsHighStreet. It's a flat rate (£1.99/mo), transparent directory structured specifically for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). No paywalls between the user and the trainer, and no charging per lead. It's brand new and unestablished, so I'm looking for feedback on the UI, the GEO data-structuring approach, or the business model itself. Happy to answer any questions https://www.worldshighstreet.co.uk/find-pt
