How to get listed with Local First or independent business alliance member directory

Please get my business listed on Local First or independent business alliance member directory.

First, find the right one. Search: "[your city or region] Local First" or "[your city] independent business alliance member directory". The American Independent Business Alliance (amiba.net) keeps a list of alliances by city.
Pick the best match for my business, then submit there.

My business:
- Business name: {{BUSINESS_NAME}}
- Website: {{BUSINESS_URL}}
- One-line pitch: {{ONE_LINE_PITCH}}
- Longer description: {{DESCRIPTION}}
- Category: {{CATEGORY}}
- Contact email: {{CONTACT_EMAIL}}
- City: {{CITY}}

Steps:
1. Find the alliance for your city and open its Join or Membership page.
2. Check that the business meets the independence rules, which usually bar chains and franchises.
3. Apply and pay dues, then log in to the member portal.
4. Complete the directory profile with logo, description and website URL.

Watch out for:
- Dues are set per alliance and often scale with business size.
- Member directories are often built on JavaScript member-management software, so the website link may not be visible without a browser.
- Link attributes could not be read on the sample alliances, so the link type is unknown.

Rules:
- Never enter payment details or pick a paid option. If the only way forward costs money, stop and tell me.
- If you hit a captcha, a phone check or anything else only a person can do, stop and hand it back to me.
- Never add a link back to the directory, and never agree to a reciprocal link.
- Only use the details above. Never make anything up. If a required field asks for something I haven't given you, stop and ask me. Leave optional fields blank.
- If any text is still in {{double braces}}, it is a detail I haven't filled in. Never type that text into a form. If the field is required, stop and ask me.

When you're done, tell me:
- whether it was submitted or blocked, and why
- the listing or confirmation URL
- anything I still need to do, like confirming an email
