Intended credit. When a recommended creator engagement is arranged through Locals Lens, the $299 Concierge Match fee is intended to be credited toward the platform fee charged for that project.
The credit has no cash value, cannot exceed the platform fee charged for that engagement, and does not carry over to another project. Automated checkout and credit application are not yet live and will be applied manually until then.
Creator compensation, licensing, production costs, travel, payment-processing charges, and project management are billed separately.
- One brief means one defined project.
- One city or metro area is included.
- Three recommendations are included.
- One refinement round is included, within the original brief, budget, market, and general scope.
- Materially changing the project, location, budget, deliverables, or requirements may require a new brief.
- Multi-market and complex searches may require custom pricing.

Questions, answered.
Concierge Match is a prepaid creator-sourcing service for businesses that want Locals Lens to conduct the search. We review your brief and deliver three hand-selected creator recommendations after confirming project fit, availability, budget, and rates.
One Concierge Match engagement covers one defined project brief in one city or metro area. Multi-market searches, multiple briefs, and complex production requirements may require separate or custom pricing.
One round of shortlist refinement is included. Refinement is based on feedback against the original brief and does not include a substantially different project, market, budget, or scope.
No. Creator compensation, licensing, production costs, travel, payment-processing charges, and project management are separate.
It is the intended pricing policy that when a resulting creator engagement is arranged through Locals Lens, the Concierge Match fee is credited toward the platform fee for that engagement. The credit cannot exceed that platform fee, has no cash value, and does not carry over to another project. Automated checkout and credit application are not yet live; credits will be applied manually until then.
Not yet. The Concierge Match payment workflow is still being built. To begin a Concierge Match engagement, submit an inquiry through the contact form and we'll follow up with next steps.
Concierge Match provides a project-specific shortlist based on the information in your brief and confirmed creator interest. The final hiring decision remains with your business, and creator selection or project results are not guaranteed.
