How to Handle Online Reviews and Reputation in Escort Work
Online reviews can make or break your escort business. One bad review on AdultWork or another platform can send potential clients running. But a string of solid, honest reviews? That’s your best sales tool. You don’t need fancy marketing or a flashy website-just consistent, professional service and smart reputation management.
Why reviews matter more than you think
Most clients checking your profile aren’t looking for the cheapest option. They’re looking for the most reliable. A profile with ten 5-star reviews and detailed feedback tells them you show up on time, respect boundaries, and don’t waste their money. That’s worth more than any ad you could buy.
On AdultWork, reviews are public. They stay up forever. A single negative review from a client who felt misled, mistreated, or scammed can linger for years. But here’s the truth: most clients won’t even look at your profile unless you have at least three reviews. No reviews? You’re invisible.
What clients actually look for in reviews
Not every review is the same. Clients scan for specific things:
- Reliability - “Showed up exactly on time, no excuses.”
- Professionalism - “Didn’t push extra services, clear pricing upfront.”
- Hygiene and safety - “Clean space, condom used, no pressure.”
- Personality - “Easy to talk to, made me feel comfortable.”
These aren’t fluff. These are decision-makers. A review that says “Great girl, had fun” doesn’t help much. But “She was calm, clean, and didn’t try to upsell me-rare these days” tells a client exactly what they need to know.
How to get more positive reviews
You can’t force a client to leave a review. But you can make it easy-and tempting.
- End every session with a simple ask. After they’ve paid and are leaving, say: “If you had a good experience, I’d really appreciate a quick review on AdultWork. It helps me keep working safely.” Most will say yes if you’re polite and don’t pressure them.
- Don’t offer incentives. No discounts, freebies, or cash for reviews. It looks desperate-and platforms flag it as manipulation. Authentic reviews carry weight.
- Be the reason they want to review. If you’re clean, on time, respectful, and don’t play games, clients will leave good feedback without being asked. Focus on service, not the review.
One escort in Manchester I spoke with got 17 reviews in six months just by being consistently reliable. She didn’t chase reviews. She just showed up-and did her job well.
How to handle negative reviews
Not every negative review is fair. Some come from clients who got angry because you didn’t do something outside your agreed services. Others are from people who just had a bad day and took it out on you.
Here’s what not to do:
- Don’t reply with anger or excuses.
- Don’t threaten to report them.
- Don’t beg for a change.
Here’s what to do instead:
- Stay silent. Public replies rarely fix things-they make them worse. Most readers will see your silence as professionalism, not guilt.
- Check if it’s a violation. If a review contains false claims, threats, or personal info, report it to AdultWork. They’ll remove it if it breaks their rules.
- Learn from it. Was there something you could’ve done differently? Even if the review is unfair, ask yourself: “Could I have prevented this?”
One escort had a review that said, “She was rude and didn’t talk to me.” She didn’t reply. But later, she realized she’d been exhausted that day and kept her answers short. Next time, she made a point to smile, make eye contact, and ask how their day was. The next three reviews mentioned how friendly she was.
What to do if someone threatens to leave a bad review
This happens. Sometimes a client will say, “If you don’t give me a discount, I’m leaving a one-star review.”
Don’t negotiate under threat. That’s blackmail. And it sets a dangerous precedent. If you give in once, you’ll get it again.
Instead, say: “I’m sorry you’re unhappy, but I can’t change my prices. I hope you understand.” Then walk away. If they leave a review, let it sit. Most people won’t follow through if they know you won’t bend.
And if they do? You’ve already filtered out a bad client. The ones who leave honest reviews are the ones you want to work with.
How to build long-term reputation
Reputation isn’t built in one week. It’s built over months, by being the same person every time.
Here’s how to make your reputation stick:
- Use the same profile name. Don’t switch names or locations. Consistency builds trust.
- Keep your photos and description accurate. If you say you’re 5’7” and blonde, don’t show up as 5’4” with red hair. Mismatches lead to bad reviews.
- Update your availability regularly. Clients hate showing up to a profile that says “Available now” when you’re booked for two weeks.
- Never ghost a client. Even if you’re not interested in seeing them again, send a quick “Thanks, take care.” It costs nothing and builds goodwill.
The most successful escorts I’ve met don’t have the most photos or the fanciest cars. They have the most consistent reviews. Clients come back because they know what to expect.
When to move on from a platform
AdultWork isn’t the only place. But it’s one of the most trusted in the UK. If you’re getting consistent reviews there, don’t jump ship. But if you’re stuck with five negative reviews and no way to improve, consider expanding to other trusted platforms like OnlyFans or MyEx.com-but only after you’ve built a solid base.
Don’t spread yourself too thin. Focus on one platform until you have 10+ solid reviews. Then, slowly expand. Reputation takes time. Don’t rush it.
Final tip: Your reputation is your safety net
Good reviews don’t just bring clients. They protect you.
If you ever face a complaint from a client or law enforcement, having a history of positive, detailed reviews shows you operate professionally. It’s not a legal shield, but it’s the closest thing you have.
One escort in Manchester was investigated after a false claim. The police reviewed her profile. She had 23 reviews over two years-every one praised her boundaries, cleanliness, and clear communication. The case was dropped within days.
Your reputation isn’t just about business. It’s about your safety, your peace of mind, and your ability to keep working on your terms.
Can I delete a bad review on AdultWork?
No, you can’t delete a review yourself. But you can report it if it violates AdultWork’s rules-like containing threats, false claims, or personal information. If it’s just a negative opinion, even if unfair, it stays. The best response is to keep earning good reviews to outweigh it.
Should I respond to every review?
No. Responding to positive reviews can come off as trying too hard. Responding to negative ones almost always makes things worse. The exception is if a review has a factual error (e.g., wrong date or service) and you can clarify politely. Most of the time, silence speaks louder than words.
How many reviews do I need to start getting consistent bookings?
Most escorts see a real jump in inquiries after 5-7 reviews. But it’s not just the number-it’s the quality. Three detailed, positive reviews are better than ten vague ones. Clients look for patterns: reliability, safety, professionalism. Once those show up consistently, bookings follow.
Can I ask clients to review me on other sites?
You can mention other platforms in your profile bio, but don’t ask clients to leave reviews elsewhere during or after a session. That’s against AdultWork’s terms and can get your account flagged. Focus on building your reputation where your clients are already looking-usually AdultWork.
What if I get a review that’s completely false?
If a review claims you did something illegal, unsafe, or dishonest that didn’t happen, report it to AdultWork with details. Include any proof you have-like booking confirmations, payment receipts, or messages showing the agreed terms. They don’t always remove them, but they will review the claim. Don’t waste time arguing in the comments.
What to do next
Start today. Look at your current profile. How many reviews do you have? Are they detailed? Do they highlight safety, reliability, and professionalism? If not, make one change this week.
Maybe it’s adding a line to your bio: “I’m punctual, clean, and respectful-always.” Maybe it’s asking your next client for a quick review. Maybe it’s reviewing your last five sessions and asking yourself: “What would I have wanted to know before booking me?”
Reputation isn’t built overnight. But every review, every client, every quiet moment of professionalism adds up. Stay consistent. Stay safe. And let your work speak for itself.
