List your business on LOCALElkGrove.com

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.

What we do with your files

We build the video for you

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

How it works

Four steps, start to live

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Take your photos to the guidelines

    Follow the exact shot list below. Submissions that skip a required shot are rejected — no exceptions.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Send it for review

    Include your business name, address and phone. We review, produce your video and publish your listing.

How to send your video

Google Drive link only — no video uploads

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

  • Sharing set to “Anyone with the link” → Viewer
  • Download allowed — we need to pull the original files
  • One folder holding every clip

These will be rejected

  • Password-protected or “request access” links
  • Folders restricted to specific email addresses
  • Links limited to one company or school domain
  • Download disabled for viewers

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

The 4 shots we need (free listings)

  1. 1Front of your business — the storefront, sign visible
  2. 2Inside your business — where customers actually stand
  3. 3A product, dish or service shot
  4. 4One more product, dish, team or detail shot

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

10 seconds per clip, shot on your phone

  • Free listing: 1 clip, 10 seconds max
  • $100 plan or upgrade: up to 4 clips, 10 seconds each
  • Steady, landscape or vertical, real audio is fine
  • Original quality file in Drive — not a screen recording
  • No video uploads through this website

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.
