Owner FAQ
Straight answers.
Is a basic profile on The Mat Network free?+
Yes. Your academy profile includes your location, approved programs, introduction, and direct links to your website, phone, and trial offer. No credit card or software purchase is required.
Do I have to use Studio Genius?+
No. Academies join regardless of which website or management software they use.
Will my academy appear immediately?+
We review every academy before it goes live on The Mat Network. During the founding period, approved profiles are prepared for launch, and we'll keep you informed about your status.
Where do families and students go when they want to contact us?+
Straight to you — your website, public phone number, or trial-offer link. We don't sit in the middle or take a cut.
Can I list more than one location?+
Yes. Each physical location gets its own profile, with its own programs and contact details, managed from the same owner account.
Do I need to link back to The Mat Network?+
No. Sharing your profile or adding a network badge to your site is optional.
Will there be paid options?+
We may introduce optional sponsored placements and produced academy features. Your basic profile will remain free, and paid visibility will always be clearly identified.
