Is this legal?

Our business is advertising. We are not an escort agency, and do not represent the listed escorts in any way. What you discuss or do with the escorts is completely your private concern. We are not responsible for your experience with the escorts listed on our site.

Are these ads for real?

We verify all of the ads as best we can before they go on-line. However, if you are aware of any person or business that is misrepresented in an ad on this site, or if we have an incorrect telephone number on any page, please click the report problem button near the bottom of the ad and let us know. We actively remove bait and switch ads as we feel these damage the integrity of online advertising in this business. We will not knowingly place an ad for anyone who bait and switches customers (Meaning putting up a fake photo and sending a different person out on call). Even if the ad has the VERIFIED PHOTO icon under the image it does not stop a bad agency from sending out a "Replacement" when the person in the ad is not currently available. Since we do not have offices in every city across Canada we are unable to verify all ads in person so we rely on our users to let us know when something is not correct. Sites like www.cerb.ca (Canadian Escort Recommendation Board) are also available to help battle bait and switch ads and give the community a place to discuss the industry and recommend people's services to others in the industry.

Limits:

  • You can not edit your name on the ad without placing a "Formerly known as" tag for 30 days at the top of your ad. This is to prevent bait and switch type ads.
  • You can not switch your main city to a new province unless you are moving permanently. Visiting ads can be made for touring cities at a cost of 10.00 per city per month. If you require your main account moved to a new province the price is 30.00 each time you move it.

  • Standard accounts are limited to 25 changes per month using the free online editor. For accounts that require more changes then this per month a 35.00 fee is required for each additional 25 changes or 10.00 per change if you wish to make changes by phone or support ticket.

We're an agency. Can our page include our staff's pictures and details?

There are two types of ad pages on ESCORTS-CANADA.COM. An Individual Page is used to describe an individual, and an Agency Page is used to describe the services of a company or agency.

If you have already set up an agency page, you can create individual pages for your staff and then associate them to your agency. If someone's individual page is associated to your agency, their page link will still appear in the list of individuals providing services on the applicable City Page, and again in the staff list on your agency page. Their page will also contain a link to your agency page. This kind of "double-exposure" can help bring more people to your agency page.

When will my new ad go on-line?

Depending on when your ad is received, your page will be on-line within 24 hours (in most cases) excluding weekends and holidays. New ads are reviewed and if they do not qualify for a free trial they only go online once payment is received. If your ad has fake/stolen photos it will not go online here.

This strategy helps you by giving you a way of improving your visibility on our site, and helps us keep our administrative costs down by encouraging people to keep their accounts up to date without reminders from us.

How can I move my ad up to the top of the list?

Pre-Pay the ad for more time paid in advance. The ads that are paid furthest ahead appear at the top of the list. You can ensure that your ad is at the top of the list by making sure that your ad is paid in advance for a period longer than the other advertisers in your city.

Only if your friend has an account with us to. If not the answer is No. Once person per ad is all our system is designed to display. If your friends already have an ad with us then you can advertise that you do calls together as "Duo's" if you wish - log into your account and add your friends account number to the "DUO'S" field and this will link your ads together and give you both a FREE "Duo's Ad" if you both continue to run your main paid ads. Accounts are limited to one duo ad at this time.

What can I place in the Headline box?

People do not like to read in all capital letters, it is looked upon as yelling. You can place all capitals in your descriptions if you wish, but the headline must follow strict guidelines. In the headline box you must not use all capital letters, you can not place titles such as "Number one" or "The best" and you must keep the headline under 40 characters including spaces.

Our system will create a city for you when you place an ad if the city is not already online with us. You can use any city name you wish as long as it is a real city. Things like GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and Southern Ontario are not allowed, instead you can place additional city listings in all the cities you wish to advertise in for only 10.00 per month extra per listing. You must use the same photo and information for each of these ads.

I was turned down for a free ad, why?

Possible Reasons for not qualifying could be...
  • More then 3 paid ads in that city
  • City is too close to a city that has over 3 paid ads
  • You used the same email address as someone else
  • The same computer you used has made an ad with us before (Digital Tracking)
  • The phone number has been used before
  • No phone number was given or fake phone number
  • The ad advertises more then one lady and both partners are not listed independently
  • A Photo you submitted was used before
  • Your ad closely matches the description of a past advertiser and our staff feel you may be trying to cheat our system of an additional free trial.
  • Affiliated with an Agency that has used a free trial already
  • You added an additional city to your account that does not quality for the free trial
  • You made a touring (Visiting) ad but not a main city ad. Visiting ads can be added as long as you make a main city ad first.

Agencies get a free listing with 2 or more paid ladies profiles and in cities with less then 3 paid ladies ads agencies may also qualify for free trial ads.

I sent a picture and it's not online yet, Why?

Most common answer, You have uploaded the photo to your photo library but have not chosen where on your ad to display the photo you need to go into your management area and choose main photo (or) VIP photo (or) additional photos from the menu. Then select the image from your library to display in this location on your ad.

I am taking some time off can I suspend my ad?

Yes, and we will credit the balance of time to your account 2 times per year for you as well. If you need to remove your ad more then 2 times per year the remaining portion of the current month will be lost (or) a 30.00 reactivation fee will apply to the account (Whatever works in your favor). This stops people from taking advantage of this service.
