Posting a classified ad on Lanka Ads takes less than five minutes. You do not need an account to get started — just a working phone number and a clear description of what you are offering.
This guide walks you through every step, from choosing the right category to writing an ad that attracts genuine replies.
Before You Start
Have three things ready before you begin:
1. A contact number — buyers and clients will reach you by phone or WhatsApp, so use a number you check regularly.
2. At least one clear photo — ads with real photos receive noticeably more enquiries than text-only listings. For services such as spa treatments or personal offerings, a photo of your premises or setup works well.
3. A fair price or rate — browse similar listings first to see what others charge. Competitively priced ads and services move fast.
Step 1 — Pick Your Category
Open lk-ads.com and look at the category list on the homepage. Categories cover rooms and rentals, vehicles, jobs, electronics, personal ads, spa and wellness services, and more.
Lanka Ads is one of Sri Lanka’s leading platforms for personal advertisements and spa listings. Choose the category that matches your item or service. If your listing could fit two categories, pick the one a buyer or client would search first.
Step 2 — Write a Clear Title
Your title is the first thing people see in search results. Keep it short, specific, and honest.
Good: “Furnished Room for Rent in Nugegoda — Rs. 25,000/month”
Good: “Relaxation Spa — Full Body Treatment — Colombo 4”
Weak: “Room available, call for details”
Include the item or service, the location, and the price or rate when possible. Titles that answer the three questions — what, where, how much — get the most clicks.
Step 3 — Write the Description
Describe what you are selling or offering in plain language. Cover the details a buyer or client would ask about before contacting you.
For a room: mention the area, whether it is furnished, what utilities are included, and any restrictions (couples, families, singles). For a vehicle: state the make, year, mileage, fuel type, and whether you will negotiate.
For a spa or wellness service: describe the treatments you offer, your qualifications, your location, and your operating hours. For a personal ad: be clear about what you provide and include your preferred contact method.
Short paragraphs work better than long blocks of text. Two to four sentences per section is enough.
Step 4 — Add Photos
Upload clear, well-lit photos taken with your phone. Show the item from multiple angles. For property, include the room, bathroom, and view from the entrance. For a service listing, a photo of your premises or workspace builds credibility.
Avoid filters, heavy editing, or stock images. Buyers trust listings that look real.
Step 5 — Set Your Price and Contact Details
Enter your asking price or service rate. If you are open to offers, mention it in the description — do not leave the price blank.
Add your phone number. Decide whether you want calls, WhatsApp messages, or both. Most successful sellers and service providers respond within a few hours.
Step 6 — Review and Publish
Read your listing once before submitting. Check for typos in the price and phone number — small mistakes cost you enquiries.
Once published, your ad goes live across Sri Lanka. You can edit or remove it at any time from your dashboard.
Tips for Better Results
Renew your ad every few days to keep it near the top of search results. Update the description if the price changes or if the item is still available after a week — this signals to buyers that the listing is current.
Reply to enquiries promptly. Sellers and service providers who respond within an hour close deals faster than those who wait a day.
If your ad is not getting views, revisit the title and photos. A stronger title and a brighter first photo make the biggest difference.
