Second question if that’s okay: how long would you realistically expect a strong MVP regional directory to take to set up, including locations, categories, listings, claim forms, maps, SEO/schema, email notifications and basic monetisation?

The core setup (plugin, pages, categories, maps) can be done in a day or two. The bulk of the time goes into populating listings, configuring monetisation, and fine-tuning SEO...
Q: Cloudflare issues when trying to access downloads, orders, etc.
