A directory of every Atelier Booking business — discovery without the commission
Every Atelier tenant gets a free listing in our public directory. Customers browsing for a service in their area find you — and they book on YOUR URL, not inside ours. No commission, no per-booking fee, no marketplace cut.
What it is
The Atelier directory is a public, browsable index of service businesses — searchable by location, by industry, by specialty, by professional name. New customers looking for a salon, a tattoo studio, a personal trainer, a music teacher in their area find you in the directory and click through to your booking page.
Free with every paid plan
On Booking Pro or any higher plan, you're listed automatically — no extra signup, no add-on fee. Your directory listing pulls from your existing profile (logo, hours, location, services, photos, reviews) so there's nothing extra to maintain. (The free Starter plan doesn't include a listing — add a Standalone listing if you want one.)
Bookings land on your URL — not inside ours
This is the part that matters most. When a customer clicks your directory listing, they go directly to your booking page — your yourshop.atelier.salon subdomain, or your own domain if you've connected one. The booking happens on your URL. The customer relationship is yours from the first click. We don't sit in the middle taking a cut.
No per-booking fee, no commission
Most directory-style platforms (Booksy, Fresha, StyleSeat, Yelp) take a percentage of bookings sourced through their app, or a flat fee per new client, or a markup on payment processing. Our directory takes none of those. Whatever revenue the booking generates is yours — your processor's rate, no platform cut on top.
Non-Atelier businesses can buy a listing too
If you don't use Atelier as your booking platform — yet — a Standalone listing is $12/month ($8/month for each extra listing beyond your first). The listing links out to whatever booking page you actually use (your own site, a competitor platform, a phone number). It's a discovery channel without requiring a platform switch, and Featured placement ($29/month) works on it too.
If you later move onto a paid Atelier plan, your listing goes free.
SEO leverage on top
The directory is built to rank. Each city + industry combination has its own indexable page; each business listing has its own structured-data markup; the whole thing is fast, mobile-first, and crawlable. Customers Googling "best [your service] in [your city]" find directory results — and find you in them.
Why it's different from a marketplace
A marketplace (the Booksy / Fresha / StyleSeat model) puts the booking inside their app and takes a percentage. The customer's loyalty is to the marketplace; the data is the marketplace's; the fees scale with your booking volume. Atelier's directory points the customer at YOUR URL and steps out of the way. The discovery is the same; the economics are very different.
What it costs you
On any paid Atelier plan (Booking Pro and up): $0 — the listing is included. Non-Atelier business, or the free Starter plan: a Standalone listing at $12/month. No per-booking commission. No per-new-client charge. The fee is the fee.
Four things every Atelier tenant gets, on day one
- A brand-fit URL. Pick a vertical-branded subdomain on day one (yourshop.atelier.salon, .tattoo, .spa, .dance, .fitness, .golf, .dog, .pet, .skin, or seated.studio). Connect a domain you own any time — no upgrade tier.
- Pick a plan, not a parts list. Forms, staff profiles, two-way calendar sync, no-show protection, waitlists, resource scheduling, multi-location support, reviews and in-person card payments — all in the plan, including the free one. Gift cards, packages and text reminders come with every paid plan. That leaves two clearly-priced extras (the Marketing Suite and the AI assistant), and Website Pro folds the first of those in too.
- Flat as your team grows. Unlimited staff, services, and customers — the same bill with five team members as with fifty, on every plan. Additional locations are a flat $25/month each, with your full plan at each.
- A free directory listing. Every paid plan (Booking Pro and up) is auto-listed in the public Atelier directory. New customers find you there and click straight through to your booking URL — no commission, no per-booking fee, no marketplace cut.
