For business owners
Send us your photos and one short video. We combine them into a finished video and post it to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook — plus your listing in the directory.

We take all of your photos and your video clip and edit them together into one finished promo video. That video gets posted to our YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook channels and lives on your directory listing. You don't edit anything — you just send good source files.
One submission, four platforms.
Check which plan you're in
Storefront businesses customers can walk into are free. Service businesses that work at the customer's home or location pay $100 for 6 months.
Take your photos to the guidelines
Follow the exact shot list below. Submissions that skip a required shot are rejected — no exceptions.
Upload your photos and add your Drive link
Photos upload straight on the submission form. Your 10-second video clip(s) go in a single Google Drive folder, shared so anyone with the link can view.
Send it for review
Include your business name, address and phone. We review, produce your video and publish your listing.

One business per industry. You hold the #1 position in our AI answers and at the top of Shop Local Cincinnati for your category. Food and drink is claimed by cuisine type — one chili parlor, one sushi bar, one pizzeria.
Put your video clip(s) in one Google Drive folder and send us the link on the submission form. We do not accept video uploads on the site. Photos upload directly.
Your link must be fully open
These will be rejected
Test your own link in a private window before you send it. If it asks for a login or an access request, we can't download it and your submission goes back to you.
Shoot horizontal or vertical, in focus, well lit, no heavy filters and no other company's logo. On the $100 plan you can send up to 8 photos — same quality rules, the 4 shots above still required.
We handle the editing, music, captions and posting.
If a required shot is missing, the photos are unusable, a clip runs past 10 seconds or the Google Drive link isn't open to anyone with the link, we will reject the submission and email you what to fix. Resubmitting is free — we just can't publish an incomplete set.
