This guide walks you through the entire process of creating a verified classified ad on Lankan Ads — from registration to your ad going live. The whole process takes approximately 5 minutes.
Quick Summary
To post an ad on Lankan Ads: (1) Register with your Sri Lankan mobile number, (2) verify via SMS OTP, (3) fill in your ad details and upload photos, (4) choose a pricing tier, (5) pay via bank transfer, and (6) submit the payment reference. Ads are approved within hours.
Step 1 — Register with Your Mobile Number
Visit lankanads.lk/register and enter your valid Sri Lankan mobile number. Lankan Ads uses SMS OTP verification to ensure every advertiser is a real person with a working phone number. This prevents spam and fake listings.
You will receive a 6-digit OTP via SMS within 30 seconds. Enter it on the verification screen to complete registration. OTPs expire after 5 minutes.
Step 2 — Choose Your Category
Once registered, go to Post an Ad. Select from one of 8 available categories:
- Girls Personal — Individual female service providers
- Boys Personal — Individual male service providers
- Live Cam Shows — WhatsApp/Telegram digital sessions
- Spa & Wellness — Physical spas, Ayurvedic centers, massage clinics
- Cuckold Couples — Couple services listings

Step 3 — Fill in Your Ad Details
Complete the ad form with the following information:
- Title — A clear, descriptive title for your ad (max 80 characters)
- Description — Detailed service description (max 1000 characters)
- District — Select your Sri Lanka district (all 25 districts supported)
- City — Your specific city or suburb
- WhatsApp Number — The number clients will use to contact you
- Price Range — Your starting price in LKR (optional)
- Availability — Your service hours
- Photos — Upload up to 5 images (JPEG/PNG, max 10MB each)
Tip: Ads with high-quality photos and detailed descriptions get significantly more views and WhatsApp contacts than text-only ads.
Step 4 — Select a Pricing Tier
Lankan Ads offers three pricing tiers. All tiers run for 7 days total:
Your ad appears in the normal chronological feed for 7 days. Best for trying the platform.
24 hours in the premium spotlight at the top of category pages, then 6 days standard. 2× the visibility of Standard.
3 days in the absolute top spotlight (above Premium), then 4 days standard. Maximum visibility for serious advertisers.
Step 5 — Pay via Bank Transfer
Lankan Ads processes payments via bank transfer. After selecting your tier, you will see the bank account details. Transfer the exact amount, then return to the platform and submit your payment reference number.
Our team verifies bank transfers and approves ads within 1–6 hours on business days. You will receive an SMS notification when your ad goes live.
