Get seen by people heading out tonight

LiveLocalVibes is where people in Tampa Bay look up who's playing near them before they leave the house. A spot here puts your venue, band or business in front of them while they're choosing where to go.

Why advertise on LLV

A crowd that's already going out

People open LLV to pick a show for tonight or this weekend, so your spot reaches them right when they're deciding.

Local, not scattered

Spots run by area, so a brewery in Ybor reaches people near Ybor instead of the whole state.

Never buried

Each area has only a handful of spots on each screen. When they're booked, they're gone until they open up.

Two ways to be seen

Featured, for LLV venues and bandsYour profile card goes to the top: home page rows, a glowing map pin, first in results. It's built from your profile, so there's nothing to design. From $8 a week.
Ads, for any local businessYour own image and link in banners and in-feed cards across LLV, labeled Sponsored. You don't need an LLV account. From $10 a week.

Ad credit applies to spots nobody has booked for that week and doesn't roll over.

    Every spot and its price

    Prices are per week, per area, at neighborhood reach. Each area has a limited number of spots, so when they're booked, they're gone until they open up again.

    Wider reach costs more

    Ads can reach the neighborhood (about 5 miles), the wider area (about 15 miles, 1.5 times the price) or the whole metro (about 30 miles, 2 times).

    Every ad is checked first

    We review each ad before it goes live, and nobody is charged for an ad we turn down.

    What we run

    Welcome

    Local businesses, events, food and drink, services, music gear and lessons, and anything people heading out for a show would want to know about. Alcohol ads are fine from licensed businesses.

    Not accepted

    Adult content, weapons, drugs or vaping, gambling, political campaigns, and anything misleading. Every ad is reviewed before it runs, and nobody is charged for an ad we turn down.

    Ask about a spot

    Tell us a little about you and we'll reply within one business day with open weeks in your area and an exact price. Nothing is booked or charged until you say yes.

    Questions

    How soon can my spot start?

    Usually within a few days of booking, once your ad is approved. For spots marked Coming soon, your weeks start the day the spot goes live.

    How do I pay?

    We email you a secure payment link (card payments through Stripe). You're never charged for an ad we don't approve, or before a Coming soon spot is live.

    Can I change my ad while it's running?

    Yes. Send us a new image or link and we'll swap it within a business day.

    What if I need to cancel?

    Cancel before your start date for a full refund. Once a booking is running, it runs through the weeks you booked.

    Do I need an LLV account?

    Not for ads. Featured spots are for LLV venues and bands, since they're built from your profile; claiming or creating one is free.
