Partial The search and listing UI is easy to vibe-code, but a useful local discovery directory depends on a large, accurate, up-to-date database of businesses and reviews that a new builder would not have.
What it would actually take: The front end and search are standard, using maps and geo-queries on a database such as Postgres with PostGIS. The hard part is acquiring and keeping accurate business data across many categories and regions, through partnerships, scraping or data licensing, and building trust through verification and spam control.
