CreateATL's 3 moves this cycle

Small, specific, and drafted for this team. Each one says who would do it, how long it takes, why it helps, and what to paste. None of it is required.

01. Point the founders CreateATL can't take to Atlanta Tech Village and ATDC

Program or fund lead · 10 min

  1. Add the line below wherever a founder finds out they don't fit: your eligibility section, FAQ or application page.
  2. When PursueATL publishes the Atlanta programs and funds comparison, link to it from the same line.
  3. Let Atlanta Tech Village know you did it. The habit works best in both directions.

<p>Not the right fit for CreateATL? <a href="https://uc1n0.share.hsforms.com/2zPeayubaSLyFDVuZc8TPQQ">Atlanta Tech Village</a> (tech and tech-related startups, from early-stage startups to high-growth companies) and <a href="https://atdc.org/apply-to-join/">ATDC</a> (technology companies in Georgia, from a validated MVP working toward product-market fit (Accelerate) to growth-stage companies scaling revenue, teams and capital (Signature)) may be a better match. <a href="https://pursueatl.com/roles/">See every Atlanta program and fund, side by side</a>.</p>

Why it helps. In the answers where the engines turned founders away from CreateATL for fit, they sent them to Atlanta Tech Village and ATDC instead. A founder who hears no from one Atlanta door should land at another Atlanta door, not another city.

How you'll know it worked. In December, watch the answers that turn founders away from CreateATL: do they name an Atlanta option next?

02. Make the page the engines read say exactly who CreateATL is for

Program lead for the facts, whoever edits the website to publish · 45 min

  1. Pick the page that best describes what CreateATL offers founders. The engines rarely cite your own site today, so a clear, current page is the fastest way to be quoted correctly.
  2. Near the top, answer five things in plain sentences: who it is for, what stage, what it costs or takes (fee, equity or check size), how to apply, and when the next intake or deadline is.
  3. Check the engines' reading against reality. In our reading of the answers, they say: “Adair Park space drawing creative entrepreneurs rather than tech founders.” If that is right, say it yourself and point founders who don't fit to the right door (the next move). If it is wrong, correct it in one sentence on this page.
  4. Keep it as text on the page, not inside an image, a PDF or a slide deck, so the engines can read it.

The paragraph, written from your own site

Who CreateATL is for: Adair Park neighbors, local entrepreneurs, small businesses, nonprofits and cultural organizations.
What it takes: Three membership tiers starting at $50 a month, or $30 a month for verified 30310 residents; prices for the higher tiers are not published.
How to apply: Sign up for a plan on the membership page, or book a free introductory tour first at https://www.createatl.com/membership.
Not the right fit? Atlanta Tech Village and ATDC may be.

Why it helps. People's questions bring up CreateATL, and AI doesn't always recommend it. When they pass it over, they usually give a reason, and it is most often about fit or terms.

How you'll know it worked. In December we ask the same questions again. On these questions, watch whether the engines describe CreateATL the way this page does.

03. Check CreateATL's row on the Atlanta programs and funds comparison

  1. We drafted the row from your public pages. It is below.

The team at CreateATL

Why it helps. The engines choose between Atlanta organizations on eligibility. One page with every program's and fund's terms side by side gives them one source to get right.

How you'll know it worked. The re-measure checks whether the engines describe your terms correctly.

The full picture

This page is the overview. The exact figures behind the scale, CreateATL's own buyers' questions across all four engines, every source and a ranked plan are a Resonate Labs visibility audit.

The part every programs and spaces organization plays

  1. Publish who you are for on one page: stage, terms, how to apply, and when you reply.
  2. Where you say no, add one line: “not a fit? here's who is,” naming two Atlanta options.
  3. Publish your 2026 numbers on one dated page: companies served, dollars raised, jobs.
