Why we publish this

This page is the written statement of what comes with every order and what does not. The limits are the useful part, so they are written out rather than softened.

What we guarantee

Five commitments, each of them something the order system can deliver and can show when it has not.

01

The amount you ordered is what is sent

The ordered amount is what goes to the delivery partner. If the partner reports the order complete with less than 95% delivered, the order is held at partial rather than closed, and shortfalls are handled under the refund policy.

02

A refill on packages that carry it

Packages whose product page shows the refill guarantee can be refilled for two years from delivery. Ask from the order tracking page or by email; our team reviews each request. Drops and refills has the rules.

03

The terms are on the page before you pay

Every package shows its quantity and price before checkout and, where enough recent orders exist, the time by which half of them had finished. The order tracking page then shows each item's status and counts.

04

No password, ever

Every service is fulfilled from the public link you give us, never from your account credentials. Anything calling itself Likes.io that asks for your password is not us; report it to support.

05

Order tracking and support by email

An order's progress is on the order tracking page from payment to completion. If it stalls, send us the order number and we take it up with the delivery partner. Support replies by email.

What we do not guarantee

Four limits. The first two are things no third-party service can promise; the other two are things this service is not built to provide.

01

How a platform treats your account

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook each set their own rules on third-party engagement and enforce them as they see fit. Those decisions are the platform's. We hold no data on them, and we do not promise that a rule will not change in a way that affects your account.

02

Reach, revenue or any other outcome

Added followers, likes or views are one input among many to what a platform shows and to what an account earns. We cannot see the other inputs, so we promise no outcome beyond the delivered count.

03

That delivered counts stay where they are

Accounts deactivate and counts move. A package that carries the refill guarantee can be refilled for two years from delivery; after that the order is settled. Nothing on this site tracks your counts for you.

04

That nobody can tell

Anyone with full access to your account's history can compare the shape of your follower curve with the shape of your content's performance. Nothing we do changes the shape of that curve, and the service is not built to hide it.

Before you order

We hold no data on platform enforcement: nothing in our system records whether an account was actioned after an order. What follows is not a set of findings; it is what is worth knowing before you place one.

01

Services that take your password

Some services ask for your login and run likes, follows or comments from your own account. Whatever such an app does, it does as you. We never ask for credentials.

02

How fast an order lands

Each package shows its delivery pace before you buy, and an order can be spread over 2 to 30 days instead of arriving at once. Stacking several large orders on one post at the same time is what compresses it.

03

Posts and accounts already restricted

If a platform has already restricted a post or an account, that is between you and its appeals process. We cannot change it, and engagement of any kind arrives on top of it.

04

Rules that move

Platform rules on third-party engagement change, and enforcement changes with them. We cannot tell you in advance when a rule will change or how firmly it will be applied.

How to reduce risk on your side

  • Deal with any existing restriction on a post or an account before ordering on it.
  • Do not order on a profile with nothing on it. The numbers have nothing to sit alongside.
  • Match the package to the account rather than reaching for the largest number available.
  • Read the product page's refill line if you care whether the count holds up months later.
  • Treat paid engagement as an addition to your own posting, not a replacement for it.

In short

Buying engagement is a tool with limits. This page lists the limits; the other methodology pages describe what each part of the service does and what is measured. If any vendor in this category, us included, promises something on the list above, ask how.
