FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about how LocalCollab works and how to get started.

How long does the typical campaign take?

Most campaigns are completed within 5-7 days from acceptance to delivery. Simple content like Instagram posts may take 2-3 days, while more complex campaigns like video content might take up to 10 days.

What happens if I'm not satisfied with the content?

You can request unlimited revisions during the campaign. If issues persist, our dispute resolution team will help mediate. In cases where requirements aren't met, you may be eligible for a full refund.

How do payments work?

Brands fund campaigns upfront with no platform fees, and money is held in secure escrow. Creators receive the majority of the payment automatically once brands approve the deliverables, with a simple 15% platform fee covering all services.

Can I work with creators outside my city?

While our focus is local collaborations, you can work with creators in nearby cities or regions. However, the best results typically come from truly local partnerships that understand your market.

What types of content can I request?

We support all major content types including Instagram posts, stories, reels, TikTok videos, blog posts, photography, and user-generated content. Custom campaigns can be created for unique needs.

How do I know if a creator is right for my brand?

Each creator profile includes portfolio samples, audience demographics, engagement rates, and reviews from previous collaborations. You can also message creators directly before making an offer.
