This came up with someone I see quite often. Her reply was "Everything anyone needs to know is on my website. That way, I only have only place I need to keep current.  I point everyone there first, and then can respond if they have further questions."  Makes sense to me.

In my business we do the same - have pertinent information in one place and one place only. That way you avoid conflicts for any number of reasons.

one would think, however many choose to not post their rates and request you email or call.

between reviews and websites I would think compensation would be found somewhere

because they have different rates on different sites. I know for a fact that several 500 per hour ladies here are posting for only 400 per hour on another local board. Some even try to claim it's a "locals discount" but anyone can join that website and book with them through it wether or not they actually are a local. My suggestion is if there is no rate in the ad or on the homepage to move on. Another suggestion is to be on multiple sites to take advantage of lower rates on other boards.

I agree.  Multiple sites and ads should be consistent, or state something like "valid with this coupon" or "valid with this email tag" etc. - just use your business sense ladies.  In a store if you find a price that is lower than the official tag, I think they should honor it.  Should be the same in provider land.  Multiple conflicting rates can lead to all sorts of embarassing situations.  The standard practice is that you should never ask "how much" or say how much you have in the envelope.  That's hobbying 101.  Sometimes when a relationships of trust has developed through repeated visits, I could see a patron saying "how much would this or that add on be?"  But even then everyone needs to be discreet.  What gets me sometimes is a provider advertizing "specials" when in fact their rates never change.  That's just false advertizing, and another issue, but might as well put it out there.
