I think the offices are only open from 8 - 5 pm Strawberry.  Don't know if anyone there to sort out at this time.

The guy dealing with this emailed at 5.15pm to say my ad would be live within the hour.

It's now online, although in posting it I was reminded of their database having the locations of various villages around my town, but not my actual town(and we are talking tiny villages compared to much larger, major town). I used to actually point this out in my ad, which went past their moderators but they never took notice or made any changes. They have moderated GFE out of the text, which makes it read a bit odd, so have had to resubmit.

Hopefully they might take a look at the geographical locations following my most recent email

Hi Strawberry and Lady Lust, yes normal office hours are indeed 8-5pm for moderation. I should point out that in certain circumstances when the system has had lots of ads to publish (at the same time) it can take a little longer than the hour advertised - we will have approved it but it takes some time for the system to publish it live on site, I will in fact find out why this happens and see if we can speed it up.

I am looking into the town / village issue for you, it may just be missing from our system and we need to add it in. I need to understand the process for this from the tech people!

Thanks,

Thanks for letting us know.

Just to let you know I've had a few enquiries but all have been emails for same day bookings over the weekend when I wasn't available - emails also aren't great for short notice either. I did respond when I could, sent some information in the form of my website address but none of the guys making contact said "Thanks" or acknowledged this response. I know there's no obligation for potential customers to do so but this does imply they weren't terribly interested, or probably wouldn't have booked anyway - guys who are interested do take time, or follow up by suggesting a time when you are next accepting bookings.

Hi Strawberry,

I just had a quick look at your ad and its had almost 200 visits in the 7 days its been live, I know we spoke about adding some more photos to the ad and perhaps now your website link and this could help to potentially convert more people or at the least get them to contact you when you have availability.

When I look at the site stats in the escort category, on average emails actually only represent around 10% of contacts so in theory we should have made your phone ring a few times also - but this is obviously an average and lots of items can effect this on specific ads.
You raise another interesting point about people following up and arranging another time and I guess this question may vary per escort but do you have a high proportion of planned in advance bookings vs last minute same day bookings for new clients?

Something else for us to perhaps look at is the SEO and the way we rank in Google, I can put keywords in that people would search for but perhaps there are some other words that can help drive more quality clients for you? For instance after speaking with you all, I added some keywords like 'incall escorts' and we are now on the 1st page of Google - just a thought.

Thanks,

I prefer advance bookings and find I get an equal proportion of same day to advance notice bookings from new clients. Many men need to plan their time away, others are more spur of the moment. New clients in particular I prefer advance bookings from especially outcall so I can go through my security and screening procedures. Some ladies prefer last minute bookings, they generally don't work for me and many of my clients book days, weeks and sometimes months in advance.

Thanks for the feedback Strawberry, there does seem to be a lot of variation - but it good to understand how you work and especially treat potential new clients.

The main thing to remember, much like if you were requiring an appointment with hairdresser, plumber or doctor phoning is best for same day - yet many guys try to use email. Since most of us prefer phone contact to confirm an appointment, and may be busy on the day anyway faffing about with emails at short notice isn't desirable - and by the time you've answered an email enquiry the chance of an appointment may have passed, whereas quick phone call or to the point text message giving requirements (ie time, appointment length, incall/outcall) is the best way. Vague "Can I see you today?" "Are you available?" isn't helpful at all (majority of clients have a definite time in mind and we want to plan our day so we have time to get ready, and enough gap between things so that discretion is maintained).

Hey All,

Just to let you know I have spoken to the wider business about inclusion of links into the escort category and they have agreed to a 1 month trial (to see how this effects moderation, the user experience etc). If there are no issues its very possible that this will continue to be an option after the month has ended.
Just to be clear links must go to your own website, not directed at other escort directories or sites, everything must be legal and obviously any sites with malware issues will not be accepted.

Hope you will all agree this is another step in the right direction and of course this wouldn't have happened without your feedback, so thank you again everyone who took the time to reply.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Is this definite with regards to the links if it is then I will re advertise and try it for the month 
If not do I get a refund

Also is there a way to block emails  if you don't want to accept emails
