Frequently Asked Questions

How does the social media promotion work?
We publish incident updates daily across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook to over 20,000 followers. Growth advertisers get featured once a month in our content. Premium advertisers get a weekly feature plus a branded sponsor tag. Your business gets seen by real drivers, in the feed they already follow.
What's the difference between monthly and pay-as-you-go?
Monthly plans give you guaranteed placement for the full month with social features included. Pay-as-you-go credit packs deduct from your balance per impression and never expire. Monthly is better for steady brand presence; PAYG is better for testing or short campaigns.
How does annual billing save me money?
Switch the toggle to Annual and you pay for 10 months instead of 12 — two months free. You're billed once a year and your placement runs continuously. You can still cancel before renewal.
Why does the number of advertisers matter?
Ad zones rotate between booked advertisers. The fewer advertisers sharing your zone, the more often your ad shows. Premium and City Exclusive limit how many competitors appear alongside you — so your spend works harder.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. All monthly plans are cancel-anytime. Your placement stays live until the end of your billing period. No contracts, no hidden fees.
Why advertise with UK Traffic Updates?
We combine a provider directory with real-time traffic data and a 20,000+ social media following across four platforms. That means your business isn't just listed — it's actively promoted to drivers through our daily incident content. When someone sees our post about a breakdown nearby and your name is on it, that's a direct recommendation to someone who may need you right now. It's exposure that's normally out of reach for a small business.
🔍
Looking for traffic alerts, not advertising?
Our Congestion Early Warning system alerts commuters, businesses and fleets before incidents are reported. From £2.99/mo.
