Occupancy
We do not sell exclusive territories. This board is what replaces them: the directories built on the platform — most of them ours — and how many partners are working each lane right now. You build your own; these are what that looks like.
Ours, and the one we point at first — a curated coffee atlas with roasters, producers and a full editorial layer on top of the directory. This is what a directory looks like when someone actually tends it.
Stores selling discounted appliances with cosmetic damage. We built it, filled it and worked the list ourselves, which is why we can tell you what the work is actually like.
Heavy-vehicle repair shops. A trade where the businesses are independent and the websites are usually costing them work.
Liquidation bin stores, which barely existed as a category three years ago. A reminder that a good niche is often a new one.
Agents working foreclosures, by state and city. Proof the model is not only about trades.
If you know a trade well enough to name the twenty businesses that matter in your city, you already have what the platform cannot give you. Build it.
Every partner count on this page is zero, because the programme has no partners yet. We would rather show you a board of zeroes than invent a number — and when it changes, it changes here first.
The reference implementation
A curated coffee atlas: roasters, producers, and an editorial layer written on top of the directory rather than bolted beside it. We built it the same way you would build yours — by choosing what belonged in it and putting it there — which is why it is the one we point at when someone asks what good looks like.
How deep a metro really is
Most cities in a niche hold a single business, so only a handful of metros are deep enough to be worth working. Before you spend a week filling a directory, count the businesses that would go in it. A workable territory is small enough to call through, small enough to service, and small enough that you should think in metros rather than city limits — and if the one you want will not clear that bar, we would rather say so before you pay than after.
This is also the honest argument against exclusivity. A niche supports only so many territories; selling them exclusively would cap the whole thing at that many partners — and one who stopped working would freeze a metro for as long as they kept paying $97.
Bring your own niche
Scratch & dent is what we seeded first because we had the data. It is not the only trade that works. If you can name the twenty businesses in your city that matter in a given trade, and you know why an owner there would pay for a better website, tell us — we will seed it and you can work it.
No exclusivity means no waiting list either. Tell us the niche and the metro, and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth your time.
