Frequently Asked Questions
What is The American Business Tapestry?
The American Business Tapestry is a living, clickable mosaic of American businesses — where each business has its own space within a growing digital tapestry.
It isn’t a traditional directory.
It’s a visual way to discover real businesses simply by exploring.
What do I get when I claim a patch?
You get your own square “patch” on the tapestry — featuring your logo, fully clickable and linking directly to your website.
It’s your permanent place within a growing digital landscape, visible to anyone exploring it.
How much does it cost?
There is a simple one-time payment of $10.
No monthly fees.
No hidden costs.
No ongoing charges.
Is this a subscription?
No. Once your patch is live, it remains part of the tapestry as it grows.
You won’t be billed again, and your business stays part of the tapestry long-term.
How long does my patch stay live?
Your patch remains part of the tapestry for as long as the platform exists.
This is about building something lasting — not temporary listings that disappear.
Can I change my details later?
Yes. If your logo, website, or branding changes, just get in touch and we’ll update your patch.
How will people find my business?
Visitors explore the tapestry visually, often discovering businesses they wouldn’t have found otherwise.
Each click is a moment of discovery — connecting people directly to businesses across the United States in a completely new way.
Is there any ranking or priority placement?
No.
There are no “top listings” or paid rankings.
Every business sits equally within the tapestry — visible, discoverable, and part of the whole.
Who is this for?
The tapestry is for any American business — from independent local services and small businesses to growing brands and entrepreneurs.
If you’re proud of what you do, you belong here.
Why is it so affordable?
The goal is to keep it simple, accessible, and fair so any business can take part.
The one-time fee helps support the platform’s growth without turning it into another expensive directory model.
What makes this different from other directories?
This isn’t about competing for visibility.
It’s about being part of something.
A shared space where businesses are discovered naturally — not ranked, boosted, or pushed ahead of others.
When will my patch go live?
We aim to upload patches as quickly as possible, usually shortly after submission.
You’ll be part of the tapestry very soon after claiming your space.
Can I have more than one patch?
At the moment, each business is limited to one patch to keep things fair, but this may evolve as the tapestry grows.
What if I don’t have a website?
Ideally, patches link to a website, but if you don’t have one, you can link to a social page or contact page instead.
Is this just for local businesses?
No — this is nationwide across the United States.
There are no location filters or restrictions. Every business becomes part of the same national tapestry.
Still unsure?
That’s completely fine.
This isn’t about pressure — it’s about being part of something growing, one business at a time.
If it feels right, your place is waiting.
