One thought is that you could create a set of dummy pages, post them and ask for feedback. You can then quickly discover what page elements are preferred/uesful before you spend time making the changes.
Thanks for the feedback. I have no plans to continually update rosters or to implement rating or review features for AMPs or MLs on the sites (just testing features). The primary objective is to help users locate the venues and providers.Quote:

I'm considering the idea of a dummy page to gather feedback.
Hey @south brisbane thanks for the website and work - you may want to update or check out and confirm oxley massage as i tried messaging and even went there and there was no reply even to knock on door and doorbell ring. So maybe they are still getting their shit together or maybe they are not operational yet. Too bad as they are very close location to me
The rating system is pretty tough. I might have put a bit of my own influence from my own experience into the ratings for SSDS, LMH and Star. I'm keen to see new shops flourish. Also trying to keep the number of Tier 1 shops between 10 - 20 and Tier 2 between 20 - 30.
I've added some more filters, links and search functions. You can click/tap on shops and ladies for more details. There are now better links between the sites. There is a clear filters and (anonymous) feedback button on the top right. The pages need to be refreshed occasionally to view new content. I only plan to update content periodically.
AMP's site - https://ozmassagemap.com/
ML's site - https://mls.ozmassagemap.com/
Discovered this recently: https://www.locanto.com.au/redcliffe...py-Ending.html
Seems fairly new, haven't been.
There's also '99 Massage' in Kippa Ring, Cnr ANZAC Ave / Kappella St,
HK Massage in Sutton St, Redcliffe
Redcliffe Thai in Victoria Ave, https://redcliffethaimassages.com.au , opinions vary on whether that's legit or not.
Love your work, mate! Keep it up!Quote:

Just tested the anonymous feedback feature!
I've addressed a couple of feedback requests and implemented them.Quote:

However, I have a bit of a conundrum. I would like to have only 15 x Tier 1 AMPs, but currently there are 16. Also keen to add 2 x Tier 2's from the Tier 3's. Any thoughts?
The 'tier' classification is highly subjective. For example, you classified Golden Lotus as tier 2, but it's a very established chain and has been around for a long time. They are fairly well organised and the experience is usually solid, although most MLs have a limited 'menu'.Quote:

Lol bro the "15 x Tier 1" limit feels like trying to pick only 15 ex-girlfriends to attend your wedding—someone's feelings are gonna get hurt
Tiers are tough, man. Like you said, it’s super subjective. Golden Lotus might not offer the full degustation menu, but they’ve been around longer than some marriages. That’s gotta count for something! Reliable, steady, and you always know what you’re getting—kinda like Macca’s.
I actually love your idea about rating shops by how long they've been under the same management. Way more useful than guessing tiers based on vibes. “More than 5 years = probably won’t disappear overnight” is a great sign in this industry.
But if you’re still keen on keeping tiers, maybe make Tier 1 more like a Hall of Fame—let it flex a bit. 16 or 18 entries won’t kill the system. Or do a monthly shuffle like Netflix’s Top 10. Keeps things spicy
Also props on the Google Maps integration—game changer. Next step: live traffic cam outside each shop?
Yeah, I totally get that the tier system is pretty subjective, there’s no perfect way to rank these places and everyone’s got their own take. I’m just trying to give the list some structure so it’s not a free-for-all.
Here’s what I look at:
Location: How close it is to the city and how discreet it is.
Exposure: Whether they have a website or ML photos out there.
Amenities: Things like showers, parking, and operating hours.
Number and quality of MLs: Based on what people are saying in forums and reviews.
The main reason I’m sticking with some kind of tier system is to make sure places like Ai Li Massage don’t end up at the top by accident. I’m open to tweaking things and making it more flexible as I go. The idea about tracking how long a shop’s been under the same management is actually useful, so I’ll keep that in mind for future updates.
I know the “15 x Tier 1” cap is a bit arbitrary, it does feel like trying to pick which exes to invite to a wedding. There are always going to be a few deserving places that just miss out. Maybe I’ll loosen it up and let Tier 1 be more of a Hall of Fame, or even rotate the top spots every so often to give more shops a chance to shine.
Cheers for the feedback on the Google Maps integration. Who knows, maybe one day I'll get some live traffic cams outside each shop.
I just posted Lavender in Kenmore but based on 1 experience that made the Acqua / Four Seasons girls look plain.
It needs the business I assumed it was just massages for grannies being in Kenmore...it might be in Tier 1 someone checka it out to confirm
Girls also work in Lucky Massage Forest Lake, not sure if it's the same owner / setup
Can we start a thread for MLs. Lots operate at different locations like
Sunny Acqua, VIP, Rocklea
Cherry 4seasons, Aurora, 888
Esther Rosie Acqua 4season LMH
Where do you reckon the girls are from at Lavender? What kind of services do they offer?Quote:

I’m a bit cautious about linking MLs (on the site) who work across different shops unless it’s an obvious shop chain (where the photos are the same). I’m also aware that some MLs may not want it public that they work at multiple shops, but I’d assume that if they wanted (ML) anonymity, they would use a different name at each shop.
The link you make between shops, geography, wechat, locanto is more than enough.Quote:

Concentrating on the shops, details and reputation is excellent and far less work for you moving forward
That there is some very impressive work. A sexy data base if you will. 😉
If your looking a little further north, moonlight massage in Maroochydore is worth an add. They have a roster, and the quality. Had some absolute stunning backpackers there lately. 😋
Nice one. The shops been added. Tier 2, region is 'Far North', added the ML's, as they have reasonable photos.
