What it is
Verification is our answer to the oldest problem in advertising: paying upfront and hoping for the best. On LikesUp, your money sits frozen — set aside but untouched — until our system confirms that real content went live and real people saw it. Banks call this kind of arrangement escrow. We just call it fair.
Why it works
Trust shouldn't have to depend on taking someone's word. A pizzeria owner who puts 200 zł into a campaign shouldn't need to believe anyone's assurance that it "performed well" — so we removed the believing entirely. Here's the whole flow, step by step. You launch a campaign, and your budget is frozen: not charged, frozen. Creators make their content and post it. Our system automatically checks each piece against your brief — is it live, is it about your business, does it do what you asked? Then it keeps watching, because the content has to stay up, not vanish an hour after posting. Only when a piece passes every check is payment for its verified views released to the creator. A hairdresser running her first campaign sees exactly which posts passed, which views counted, and where every złoty went.
What to expect
From your side, it's quiet. You don't chase screenshots or decode reports — your dashboard shows each post, its verification status, and the views that counted. If a creator's content doesn't pass, they don't get paid, and that part of your budget stays safely frozen. And here's the part people don't believe until they see it: when your campaign ends, any budget that wasn't used for verified views is simply never charged. Not "credited toward your next campaign". Never charged. Your 100 zł stays your 100 zł until verified views earn it.
How it works on LikesUp
Frozen money in, verified results out. The musician who budgets 100 zł and gets 80 zł worth of verified views pays exactly 80 zł — the remaining 20 zł never leaves their account. The system does the checking, the watching, and the math automatically, for every piece of content, every time, with no one to chase and nothing to negotiate. We built it this way because we believe paying upfront for unproven results is daylight robbery. Your money should only move when the proof exists.
