Customers follow a shop across about seven platforms and a website, with no single place to follow it. Here is what that scatter costs, and what an address of its own does about it.

Social platforms the average internet user is on each month
Customers are spread across about seven platforms, so a shop ends up running an account on most of them — plus a website. Each one keeps its own followers, and none of them talks to the others.
The 7 is rounded from GWI’s 6.75 and links to its publisher. It counts the platforms people use, which is where their following ends up.
The best address for your shop
shop.best/yourname is an address the shop holds, a hub it opens, and a follow that is held against it.

Super Follow: Grow your customers
Customers follow the shop at its address, not a marketplace's — so the regulars hear about the drop from the shop itself.

Shut, not hidden
One address, one page, one following — and all three of them the shop’s. How it works walks through building it, Super Follow is the button the third card is about, and pricing is what each plan costs. About .best covers the domain the paid plans come with.
Built to be found by AI
More and more customers ask an AI assistant for the best shop rather than searching. A hub under .best is built for that question.

Found where AI looks for the best
Ask an AI assistant for the best shop nearby and it leans on pages built around “best”: in Meltwater’s study of 9.5 million AI citations, “Best X” listicles appeared in 54% of the most-cited LinkedIn content. A hub at shop.best/yourname puts “best” in the shop’s own address, and gives assistants one clear page to cite for it.
People ask an assistant for the best shop nearby. On a .best hub, the word in their question is already in the shop's own address: shop.best/yourname.
02
One page an assistant can read
What the shop is, what it offers and where to find it — on one page, in plain text, at one address, rather than scattered across profiles an assistant has to piece together.
03
One name everywhere
Every profile can point back to the same .best address, so the shop reads as one name rather than a handful of handles that may or may not be the same shop.
04
The source is the shop itself
When an assistant cites the hub, it cites the shop's own page — not a marketplace listing, a directory or a lookalike account speaking for it.
Nothing here promises a ranking or a citation: assistants choose their own sources. A .best hub gives them a clear one.
