Austin to Denver
Your clients need one link, not a new one each city
It's October. You're on a guest spot in Austin. A client texts your booking line to ask if you're doing Denver. You book them for November.
If your booking page lives on the studio's site, that link ends when the guest spot does. If it lives in a marketplace directory, your client lands next to every other artist in town. Either way, the link you sent in October is wrong by November.
With , your link is your custom domain. The link you sent in October still works in November, and in December when you're home.
Your Assistant turns the text into a request for Denver and drafts the reply. You check it, edit it and send it.

Guest spots
Clients who move between artists
On the road you work in other artists' studios. In Austin you guest at Maya Rivera's studio. In Denver you work beside Nina Vos. Their clients see your flash on the wall. Some book you. Some of yours book them.
On a roster, every artist keeps their own account, clients and flash. The studio puts you on its team calendar for the guest spot. When the guest spot ends, your clients and flash leave with you.

A history that follows the work
Each client has one client history, not one per city. Every request, intake form, waiver and payment goes on the same record, whichever city you were in.
