We use encrypted connections for the user account manager and for all webpages related to billing. You can tell the connection is secure when the address starts with "https" and the padlock icon appears on your browser near the address bar.
Your ad has a stats counter that tracks the number of unique visitors each day. (Every visitor is counted only once.) You can also ask your clients what source they used to find you.
Every massage style is unique. It's important that you explain in your listing what makes yours different from everyone else's. You don't need to write a novel, but certainly write 250 words or more. Make sure you look friendly and professional in your photos. And try to enhance your treatments with as many client-pleasant add-ons as possible — aromatherapy, heated towels, etc.
Your listing is associated with a single address or intersection. It appears in all search results near that location. For instance, if you create a listing in Burbank, CA, it will appear in the search results for all nearby cities, from Los Angeles to Santa Monica.
If you subscribe to the top tier of advertising, it also allows you to create a second ad to accommodate special cases for your practice and area. For instance, suppose you live and operate a massage studio in Huntington Beach, CA, but you commute to Los Angeles three days a week to do mobile appointments. If you're a premium advertiser, you can place on ad in Huntington Beach to capture business around you in Orange County, and another, mobile-only ad in Los Angeles to get clients for the days you commute up there.
In this age of Facebook, LinkedIn and Yelp, it's more important than ever to create a personal connection in your advertising and networking. No one is going to go to your massage studio or have you come to their home or office if you don't even show your face in your advertising.
Our overriding mission is to connect massage therapists with massage lovers in their area. We do this by heavily promoting the website — through online and offline advertising as well as search-engine optimization — to bring in potential massage clients by the hundreds of thousands.
MassageFinder is a location-based listings engine. When potential massage clients arrive on the homepage, they enter their location (city name or ZIP code) in a search box. When they click the "Go" button, they get a list of all massage therapists in our system within a certain radius (usually 50 miles, but sometimes it's increased to up to 150 miles if not enough listings are found nearby).
From the search results page, site visitors can click the photo of any massage therapists to view their profile. The therapist profile contains a wealth of standardized information — their phone number, techniques/modalities, training, licensing, etc. — as well as an introduction from the therapist. We require a lot of information because we believe that's the best way for massage clients to make apples-to-apples comparisons and decide if you're the best match for what they're looking for. Hiring a massage therapist is, to a large degree, an act of trust, and information is crucial.
All Masseurfinder.com advertisers can also maintain an ad on our sister site, Massagefinder.com, at no additional cost. Simply log into massagefinder.com with the email address and password you use for Masseurfinder. You'll be taken to the Dashboard. Click CREATE A NEW AD and select Massagefinder as the site.
After completing your new ad, just remember that any time you want to edit your Massagefinder ad, log into Massagefinder. If you want to edit your Masseurfinder ad, log into Masseurfinder. But you will always see both ads on your Dashboard, regardless of which site you log into.
You will be able to flag both ads as Available Now from your Dashboard, regardless of which website you logged into. (You will NOT need to log into both sites to flag both ads as Available Now.)
The programming that controls the webcam on your laptop/desktop and the camera app in your phone is highly specific to your device. Our site is programmed for most current browsers and devices, but if your browser or operating system isn't up-to-date, you may experience some problems with this step of the verification process.
If you don't see a button to upload or take a photo, or the feature isn't working properly, first be sure that BOTH your device's operating system and your browser are current. If you don't know how to do this, follow the link at the bottom of this post that is appropriate to your device and browser.
If you are still unable to upload your verification photo(s) after updating your browser and operating system, please Report a Bug.

You may see ads in search results that say "Available Now" on them. This means the masseur has actively turned on this feature, indicating he has a current time slot available, and if you're close to his location, you can be on his table in a matter of minutes. Just because a masseur does not have the "Available Now" flag on his ad doesn't mean you still can't book with him immediately, or on the same day. It's mostly used by masseurs who've had last minute cancellations, or who are having a slow day. If you contact a masseur with "Available Now" on his ad, and do not receive an immediate response, please report them to Customer Support.
From any ad, click the "Save to Favorites" button (mobile) or "heart" icon (desktop) on the therapist's ad. If you haven't already created a basic user account, the system will prompt you for some basic information and then save the ad under your Favorites, which can be accessed by clicking Favorites from your Dashboard.
The advertiser may be traveling to another city, or may have deactivated his or her account. He or she may also have relocated to another city. You can try using the Keyword search to search the entire site. From the homepage, click on the Search link at the top right, and then use the search box at the bottom of the page.
Also consider using our Favorites feature to keep track of massage providers who you've hired and liked, or wish to hire.
Look for the "Appointment Location?" category in the search filters, at the top of the search results page on a mobile device, or at the bottom of the search page on a desktop/laptop. Click "In-Studio" to see masseurs who accept clients at their location.
Click the MAP button at the top (mobile) or bottom (desktop) of search results to display ads on a map. Please note that therapists who only offer Mobile services will not appear on the map! Only therapists who have a studio location will appear on the map.
To sort search results based on distance from your zip code, click DISTANCE in the SORT BY: list at the top (mobile) or bottom (desktop) of search results. This will arrange search results so that the closest therapists to you appear at the top of the search results list.
You can also switch to the Map view to see general locations for all therapists who accept in-studio appointments. (Please note, therapists who only offer mobile services will not appear on the map.)
There aren't enough therapists in your immediate area. masseurfinder 's search engine does its best to present you with at least 3 ads in your area. If there are not at least 3 therapists within 50 miles of you, we will automatically increase the search radius incrementally up to 150 miles in order to present you with at least 3 ads.
