This guide is tailored for United States and nearby searches (including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Diego, and Dallas).

Most people use these terms to describe where the booking takes place.

Definitions

• Incall: you host at your location.
• Outcall: you travel to the client (hotel/other agreed location).

Tips for providers

• Only list what you actually offer.
• If you outcall, set a clear travel radius (or suburbs/areas).
• If you incall, consider listing a general area (not a precise address).

Tips for clients

• Ask politely and keep details simple.
• Confirm location area and time early.
• Respect boundaries and privacy.
