What you get

Everything below is in the quote. No add-ons, no surprise line items later.

Multi-city listings

Listings scale across every city you operate in, with free, premium and featured tiers that give advertisers a reason to upgrade.

Verification workflow

Advertisers verify with photo and ID before they go live, and get re-checked on a schedule so the directory stays trustworthy.

Moderation queue

Moderation is built around the line between hosting a listing and facilitating, with the policy written into the product.

Discreet card billing

Billing runs through adult-tolerant processors with statement descriptors chosen so cardholders are not surprised.

Age verification

The age check sits at the entrance to the directory, keeping your public city and area pages indexable in front of it.

Local-pack SEO

City pages, structured data and internal linking are built in from launch, so the local pack work has something to rank.

Content report and take-down workflow

Reports, take-downs and the record of what you did with them are handled in the admin, ready for a regulator to ask.

Every engagement

A written report every Friday

A short note each Friday covering what shipped that week, what is queued next, and anything waiting on a decision from you. You are never guessing where the project is.

Every engagement

30-day warranty after launch

Anything defective at delivery is fixed on us for the first thirty days after go-live, at no extra cost and without an argument about whose fault it was.

Every engagement

Your IP on final payment

Code, designs and the accounts we opened in your name are assigned to you on the final invoice, with repo access, deployment credentials and a written handover pack. No licence, no lock-in.

Pricing

Every engagement is scoped and quoted on its own.

No packages, no padded tiers

Price on application

After a 30-minute discovery call under NDA we send a written proposal: a fixed price for the agreed scope, milestone billing rather than a lump sum up front, and code and IP assigned to you on final payment.

How the build runs

Staging and written reporting from the start, so you are never waiting to find out where things are.

1

Week 0

Discovery and written scope

A 30-minute call under NDA, then a written scope: what we are building, what it costs, and what it explicitly does not include. Nothing starts until you have signed that.
2

Weeks 1–3

Foundations and applications

Architecture, data model and the admin skeleton. Processor and age-verification applications go in during this window, because they take the longest and block launch if they are left late.
3

The middle weeks

Build on live staging

Features land on a private staging URL you can use, ordered so the risky parts are proven first. A written report reaches you every Friday until launch.
4

Launch week

Go live and hand over

Cutover, then close monitoring for the first few days. Repo, deployment credentials and a runbook are handed over, and the 30-day warranty starts.

The challenge

The context most agencies won't say out loud.

Building an escort directory in the UK is harder than most agencies admit. Sexual Offences Act 2003 s.53 exposure means moderation matters. High-risk MCC 5967 billing means most Stripe-style processors will not touch you. Local pack SEO in the escort category takes specialist work. We build directories that handle all three from launch.

Why us

What a mainstream agency cannot credibly claim on this service.

SOA 2003 s.53 aware

We know the difference between hosting listings and facilitating. Moderation policies drafted with real UK law in mind.

Discreet billing done right

Statement descriptors, card-holder receipts, and refund policies designed to minimise chargebacks.

Local SEO scaffolding built in

City pages, schema, and internal linking designed for local pack visibility from launch.

Directory-tested Laravel stack

Filament admin gives you the moderation and reporting tools without spending £10k+ of extra dev time.

Outcomes

Anonymised. Every client under NDA; specifics verifiable on request.

Common questions

What we get asked most, answered honestly.

How does UK law affect running an escort directory?

Sexual Offences Act 2003 s.53 covers controlling prostitution for gain. Directory operators are exposed if moderation is careless. We draft moderation policies and take-down workflows that keep you on the right side of the law.

Which payment processors work for escort directories?

CCBill and SegPay both process escort-adjacent MCC 5967 billing. Most mainstream processors (Stripe, PayPal) prohibit escort platforms in their AUP.

How long does an escort directory build take?

MVP: 8-10 weeks. Multi-city production: 12-16 weeks. UK-wide: 18-24 weeks including local SEO scaffolding.

Do we need age verification on a directory?

If you display adult content (photos, service descriptions above a certain explicitness), yes, HEAA applies. We gate at directory entry and preserve marketing-page indexability.

Can you help with local pack rankings in adult categories?

Yes. Local pack in the escort vertical is contested but rankable. Our SEO team runs technical SEO plus content and links as a parallel retainer if you want.
