 Locamundo operates in a somewhat similar way. When production teams know they need, say, a grand luxurious house but their favorite location scout isn't available, Locamundo fits like a glove. Productions can do some of the scouting themselves by searching through Locamundo's register, which combines locations from scouts into one database. That is, locations that scouts have chosen to make online.

So, the myth that your listing will get lost among a sea of scouts and locations in Locamundo doesn't hold up. When a client is looking for a location, for simplicity, let's describe what the client is searching for in this example. Through Locamundo's categorization system, the client specifies they need a house, by a lake, with forest and mountains, located in the USA, specifically in New York State. By this point, Locamundo has narrowed down the search so only a handful of locations that meet these criteria show up. There's no reason for the system to display houses from Los Angeles, or Europe for that matter. Even with theoretically 15 location scouts in this area and tough competition, having your locations on Locamundo is a win since that’s the location platform production companies will check first.

There's also the case where a production company knows they absolutely want to work with "Jonson's fantastic locations". Knowing that Jonson lists his locations on Locamundo, they can filter so that only his firm's locations are displayed. As a location scout, you can even send them a link or a QR code that leads directly to your account, showing exclusively your locations and no competitors.

Lastly, I want to address an aspect that has been a constant topic of discussion since I started this business 20 years ago. With a PRO and PRO+ account, similar to a production company, you have the ability to peek into your colleagues' registries. However, this only applies to the locations that a scout has chosen to display online. You cannot see the locations that are kept offline by a scout. You can see which city a location is in, but the rest of the contact details remain securely locked in your colleague's archive. In Sweden, this has turned into a practice of scouts exchanging and selling locations. The most crucial aspect is always to keep the customer happy. After all, customers often don't care who provides the locations; they are much more concerned with who manages the shooting location.

So no, I can't see any disadvantages of being one of many location scouts. On the contrary, being part of a network makes you stronger. Additionally, within Locamundo's private Facebook group, you can stay in touch about things you want to keep within the community.
