How to leave a booking marketplace without stranding your clients
Whether you are on Fresha, Booksy, StyleSeat, or Mindbody, the cutover pattern is the same: stand up your site, move regulars, then change the public links.
Stand up the destination first
Do not delete the marketplace profile on Monday morning. Publish Hacado, test a real booking with a deposit, and confirm reminders look like your brand.
Migrate the people who already trust you
Your existing list is the asset. Message them with one new URL. Marketplace discovery of strangers is what you are choosing to leave.
Change every public entry point
Instagram bio, Google Business, Linktree, printed cards, email signatures. Split funnels create double-books and confusion.
Then retire the listing
Pause or remove the marketplace profile once the new book is the habit. Read the Fresha or Booksy migrate guides for product-specific notes.

FAQ
You lose marketplace discovery. You keep growth from Instagram, Google, and referrals - on a brand you own.
Any directory-style book: Fresha, Booksy, StyleSeat, Mindbody, and similar. Use the dedicated migrate pages when you have one.
Leave the directory on your terms
Start free. Publish first. Switch the bio second.
