One issue I have with the Drupal Contribution section: You start it with "Just search for our name on Drupal.org and you can see our contributions." It seems rather forceful an not quite the right tone. Remember, people that want to hire your company will be looking at that.
I'm also trying to figure out why your company isn't listed. It's set to be listed when membership is active. (This is new to me, so I'm learning as I go.) I'm thinking it's because the account that has the Membership, codeenigma, isn't the author of the node. So either someone who knows more than me about this can educate us, or I can switch the organization node over to your company account and see if that works.
Could you review and adjust the "locations" settings on your organization node: http://drupal.org/marketplace/code-enigma
Right now you just about listed every country available.
As you can read here under "locations": http://drupal.org/node/1795858
You should only select the countries where you have a physical office.
If every company add that many locations, then there is no point in the hole location filter. Which defeats a big change in the upgraded marketplace at the end of last year.
Hi, sorry about that - obviously listed countries where we either have clients or would like to do business, not just where we have physical locations. Will update now to UK, France and Spain.
Is there any plan to present a 'countries served' vocab, or something in that spirit? It seems a bit crazy we have clients in Switzerland, Hong Kong and the USA, but can't say we operate there...
As far as I know there are no plans right now to add a "countries servered" vocab back.
I understand your pain point, as my self we also server multiple countries.
The point was made to make it easier to find a local Drupal shop, instead of first going through a bunch of shops that can serve clients anywhere.
Drupal is a global thing, but some clients still value local shops.

You could start a new issue about adding a new vocab to the marketplace if it is important to you.
Guess the issue should go into this issue que: http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/webmasters?issue_tags=drupal.org...
Thanks for altering the countries...
