About VettedVault
What we are
VettedVault is a classified advertising platform, not a directory. That distinction matters. Advertisers publish their own advertisements and are solely responsible for their content. We verify identity, that the person advertising is real, an adult, and consenting to advertise.
We do not curate. We do not endorse. We do not vouch for any advertiser or any service.
Why verification
"Verified" is a claim almost every platform in this industry makes and almost none keeps. Badges appear over profiles with photos that have not changed in years. Nobody checks, so the word stops meaning anything.
Our name forecloses that option. If verification is not real here, the name is false advertising rather than sloppiness. So verification is enforced in one place, as a condition of publishing: a listing cannot go live unless the advertiser is verified and current, has at least one approved photo, meets the bio minimum, and sits in a place where we operate. A nightly job takes down anything whose conditions have lapsed.
And the badge carries a date. An undated badge tells you nothing.
How we make money
Advertisers pay for extra reach, 7 or 30 days at a time, and nothing renews. The free Verified tier is permanent and functional in every city, verification is never paid for, and never will be. Paid tiers buy reach and convenience: more photos, more availability pings, touring, boosts.
What we will never sell: baseline visibility. Your position in search does not decay over time, so nobody has to pay to stay findable. The day boost revenue depends on ordinary listings being harder to find, the model has failed.
Where we operate
Australia and the United Kingdom. Legal status varies by state and nation, not by country, so we treat each place separately, and each one can be switched off on its own. Some are live. Some are under review. Northern Ireland is permanently excluded because the Nordic model criminalises our advertisers' clients, and we will not put people at risk to expand a map.
Who we are not
We are not a support service, a booking agent, an escort agency, or a review site with a directory attached. We are the advertising layer, and we try to be a good one.
