Atlas FAQs
Not really. Everything is pre-built.
We designed Atlas Labs so non-technical creators, marketers, and local newsletter operators can launch without touching code.
You’ll:
- Duplicate our Webflow template (done in 2 clicks)
- Connect the Make scenarios (copy a link, authorize Webflow)
- Follow a visual checklist with screenshots for each step
If you’ve ever used Canva, Airtable, or Zapier, you’ll feel right at home. And if you do get stuck, our help videos show exactly where to click.
If you're in a hurry to get live you can do it in under a week if you commit to around 1-2 hours per day.
Fast-track operators who already have content or listings can launch within 2–3 days.
The 30-day checklist gives you a clear roadmap:
- Day 1–2: Template setup & imports
- Day 3–5: Branding, category setup, featured slots
- Day 6–7: Monetization setup + first outreach
We even include examples of first sponsor emails to send once your map is live.
Any that thrive on visuals or local discovery:
- Restaurants, cafes, and bars
- Travel guides and websites
- Service business directory
- Wellness, yoga, and fitness studios
- Outdoor adventures or hikes
- Boutiques, markets, vintage shops
- Real estate or co-working spaces
- Events and nightlife
- Neighborhood guides.
- City & State Guides
You have three options:
- Import via Apify using our Google Places automation (easy & efficient).
- Manually add listings directly in Webflow CMS (best for single changes/easy to use).
- Crowdsource via a submission form (we include that too).
Make handles the automation: it pulls listings, enriches them, and updates your CMS automatically.
No problem. We make it super easy to map an area and import listings that match your criteria using apify and our make,com automation templates. It takes less than twenty minutes to set up.
We also include sample datasets (restaurants, experiences, gyms) you can load for testing.
You’ll still be able to design, brand, and populate your directory before going live.
Yes.
Your listings can display short clips, reels, or promo videos right inside the feed.
The feed auto-plays muted loops, just like Instagram Reels or TikTok.
Sponsors love this because their content feels native—not like an ad.
You can embed from Instagram, upload MP4/WebM clips, or use our video placeholders if you’re still collecting footage.
You'll use our process and make.com automation templates to import and display full instagram reels and even shorter videos directly in the item feed. All you need is the link to the reel you want and the automation does the rest.
The template automatically falls back to still images if no video is present.
Once you have Reels or short clips, you can swap them in instantly (takes 10 seconds per listing).
Small numbers add up to consistent income if you grow your directory over time.
- Sell featured listings ($49–$149/mo x 30)
- Offer category sponsors ($500–$1,000/mo x 6)
- Add video promos or social features ($99–$199)
- Use your directory to grow a local media brand.
You’ll get scripts, pricing ladders, and a full Sponsor Deck template.
Most members make their first sponsor sale in the first 30 days.
