Our starting principles

  • Useful before promotional
  • Built around real locations
  • Designed to be shared

Two ways to be discovered

A directory. Or a destination.

Build a resource people return to, or a visual story that makes them stop scrolling.

01 / The interactive atlas

Make a niche feel like a neighborhood.

Bring a specific community into view: independent coffee shops, emerging startups, or the businesses shaping a city. A public map makes scattered information easy to explore.

Plan your directory
From spreadsheet to streetTHE WORKFLOW
  1. 01

    Choose a clear focus

    Define the industry, city, or neighborhood your map will serve.

  2. 02

    Connect the places

    Organize names, addresses, and categories in Google Sheets; map the entries with Atlas or Mapme.

  3. 03

    Let the community contribute

    Add a business-submission form and share your directory with the people it represents.

A format for Reels and TikTok: a satellite-style approach, a distinctive location marker, and a cut to the place itself.

02 / The cinematic video map

Your location deserves an entrance.

Introduce a storefront, reveal a property, or trace a business’s expansion. Combine a 3D map zoom with a custom marker and footage that brings the destination to life.

Build the approach in Google Earth Studio or MapAnimation.io, then connect the map to your on-location footage.

Outline your video

Start with one place

The next great discovery
starts with a pin.

Your first step is simple: collect the locations. Start a directory spreadsheet, or use a single address as the starting point for your video.

Build your starting list

Include each business’s name, full address, category, and website. For a video, add your storefront footage and the story you want to tell.
