Questions
Asked before every engagement
If a question you have is not here, email the desk before you send anything else.
Can you guarantee my account comes back?
No, and nobody honestly can. The platform makes the decision. What we do guarantee is an honest read at the review stage: if we do not believe a matter is solvable, we tell you and close the file rather than taking the work.
Do you work inside Meta or TikTok?
No. We have no employees, contacts or relationships inside any platform, and we do not claim to. Any provider who tells you they have an insider is describing something that gets both of you removed. We work through the official appeal, recovery and reporting routes that every platform publishes.
Can you buy me an Instagram username?
No. Platform terms prohibit buying, selling and transferring accounts and usernames, and accounts caught in those transfers are removed, so buyers lose the handle and the money. What we do is research availability, assess whether you hold a trademark or name right strong enough to support a claim, and where one exists, prepare a rights based request through the platform's official intellectual property channel.
Can you get me verified?
Nobody can sell a verification decision. We assess you against each platform's published criteria, tell you exactly which criterion you fail, and help you build the independent coverage record that closes the gap. The application and the decision remain entirely between you and the platform.
Is the press coverage paid or earned?
Both routes exist and we tell you which is which before anything is arranged. Earned coverage is pitched to a journalist who chooses to write it. Paid and sponsored placements are bought, are quoted to you as a separate line, and are labelled by the publisher in line with its own policy and applicable advertising rules.
What does it cost?
The case review costs nothing. After the review you get a written scope and a fixed fee for the specific matter, quoted before any work starts. Where a third party cost is involved, such as a publisher placement fee, it is quoted separately from our fee so you can see what you are paying for.
How long do matters take?
It depends entirely on the route. Some restriction matters clear in days. Platform appeal queues run on their own timetable and can take weeks. Editorial placement runs from a few weeks to a few months depending on the outlet. We give you a realistic range for your specific matter at the review stage and we do not shorten it to win the work.
What do you refuse to take on?
Accounts we have reason to believe are not yours. Anything that asks us to evade an enforcement decision rather than fix its cause. Requests to remove true reporting, court records or regulatory findings. Stories built on fabricated credentials. And any matter where the honest answer is that no route exists.
