Your content should be of the highest quality in terms of spelling, graphics, descriptions, and SEO-terms, and you should provide us with keywords you want your expertise to be found under.

Once we receive your application, our vetting team will thoroughly review your content to ensure it meets Capptions standards of quality and safety. If necessary, you may be asked to revise your content to meet these standards.
