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.
45-second whiteboard explainer
A hand-drawn walkthrough of all three packages — what's included, who qualifies, and exactly how the pricing works ($100 and $600 are totals for 6 months, not monthly).
Download the explainerWhat we do with your files
We take all 4 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
Storefront businesses customers can walk into are free. Service businesses that work at the customer's home or location pay $100 for 6 months.
Follow the exact shot list below. Submissions that skip a required shot are rejected — no exceptions.
Photos and your 10-second video clip go in a single folder, shared so anyone with the link can view. No passwords, no per-email access.
Use the contact form with your business name, address and phone. We review, produce your video and publish your listing.
Storefront businesses
For retail and storefront businesses customers can walk into for service — shops, restaurants, salons, studios, clinics with a public location.
Service businesses
Flat rate — not $100/month
For mobile, residential and other out-of-store services — contractors, mobile detailing, in-home care, anything performed at the customer's location.
Upgrade — any business
Flat rate — not $100/month
Free storefront listings can upgrade any time and get the exact same package as paid service businesses.
City Spotlight — category exclusive
Flat rate — not $600/month
One business per industry. You hold the #1 position in Marco AI's answers and at the top of Shop Local San Marcos for your category. Food and drink is claimed by cuisine type — one taco spot, one sushi bar, one pizzeria.
How to send your files
Put your photos and video clip(s) in one Google Drive folder and send us the link through the contact form. We do not accept video uploads on the site.
Test your own link in a private/incognito window before you send it. If it asks for a login or access request, we can't download it and your submission goes back to you.
Photo requirements
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.
Video requirements
We handle the editing, music, captions and posting.
Submissions that don't follow the guidelines are rejected
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.
