Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it FREE?
  
  We welcome you to search for a provider and even post your own ad at no charge whatsoever.  FREE.  There are also advanced search and advertising benefits available for a modest subscription cost which can significantly increase your ad exposure and positioning.

  Click the "home / search" menu link at the top of any page.  Enter your ZIP code and adjust the number of miles/kms you're willing to travel.  Then click the "Search" button.  Additional options...
   
• Where are the provider reviews and how can I post a review of my own?
  
  First, find the provider's ad.  If the provider is a participant in our review system (it's voluntary), you may click on either the "MY REVIEWS" or "POST REVIEW" button.  If neither button exists, the provider is not in our review system.  Please know, you can post your review anonymously, if you wish.  Your privacy is important to us.
   
• I'm a massage provider and I want to update my existing MassageAnywhere.com ad.  How?
  
  First, click the "LOGIN" menu link on the upper-right corner of your screen.  Once you are logged in, you can click on either the "EDIT AD" or "UPLOAD PHOTOS" link to change/update your information at any time.
   
• Do you allow sexually-oriented massage ads?
  
  We welcome all legitimate massage ads and do not discriminate based on gender or sexual orientation.  However, we do not permit ads of an (explicitly / overtly) sexual nature or ads that solicit or promote prostitution (whether explicitly or suggestively).
   
• What are the benefits of a paid subscription over a basic free account?
  
  The quick summary is that a paid subscription can, for a very modest cost, (1) increase your ad's everyday exposure by up to 300% over a basic free ad; (2) give your ad premier positioning and rank in search results, as well as preference on our homepage; and (3) make it easier for customers to find you among the crowd.  These benefits are particularly valuable if you advertise in a populated market area.  For additional information, this question is also answered in detail here.
   
• Where's my ad?
  
  There are tens of thousands of massage ads.  If yours seems to be hiding, please check our answers to I can't find my ad.  Where is it? and Will my ad appear on the MassageAnywhere.com homepage?.
