For home, cottage and micro bakers
Your neighbors are searching for what you bake. Let them find you.
Most home bakers have an order page and an Instagram, and that’s it. When someone nearby searches “sourdough near me”, they get chains and grocery stores. Small Baker builds the pages that rank and sends those people straight to your order link.
Founding bakers: your first month is free (the first 25 bakers in each city). Then $5/month. Nothing to install, no cut of your orders, cancel anytime.

The problem
Great bakers, invisible online.
Your shop page
- Lives on Bakesy, Hotplate or Square, and isn’t built to rank in search
- One page, no city, no “near me”
- No idea who looked and didn’t order
With Small Baker
- A page for your city and every kind of bake you make
- Shows up for “custom cakes in Gilbert”, not just your name
- Every view, tap and message counted for you

Who built it
Bakers, not marketers.
Small Baker was built by people who’ve run a micro bakery for years and built other businesses alongside it. We know the early mornings, and we know how customers find a business online. Our story.

Questions bakers ask.
Do I have to install anything or change my shop?
No. Your listing links to the order page you already use: Bakesy, Hotplate, Square or your own site. We count views and taps on our side and tag every visitor we send you, so you can see us in your shop's own stats.
Why am I already listed?
We list home bakeries from public shop pages and public records so locals can find them. You can claim, correct or remove your listing at any time.
What does claiming cost?
Your basic listing is free. Founding bakers (the first 25 in each city) get their first month free on Claimed or Insights, then it renews monthly and you can cancel anytime. Claiming is $5 a month: a verified badge, your menu and prices, your stats, customer messages and a coaching email every two weeks. Insights is $10 a month and adds the rank booster, a Sponsored spot at the top of your city and bake pages, plus competitor insights.
Do you take a cut of my orders?
Never. Customers order and pay through your own shop. We don't touch payments.
How do customers contact me?
With the Message button on your page. Messages come into your Small Baker inbox, and your average reply time shows on your listing, so quick replies win orders.
What's the giveaway?
Each month the claimed bakery with the most customer order taps in an area (organic, not paid placement) can host a giveaway for Small Baker members. You supply the prize, and we put it in front of every member nearby. It's free exposure and an event to post on your socials.
Can you build me a real website?
Yes, for $15 a month. We design and host a fast bakery website for you at smallbaker.com/bakery/your-bakery. You keep your own checkout (your Stripe, Square or Bakesy link), and we never handle your payments.
