How Our Listings Work
We believe in transparency. Here's exactly how we create, verify, and maintain agency profiles in our directory.
Our 4-Step Process
We Find Agencies
Our team identifies fostering agencies across England using public databases, Ofsted records, and Google Business Profile data.
Auto-Generated Profiles
We create initial profiles using publicly available information. These are marked as 'Unclaimed' until verified.
Agency Claims & Verifies
Agencies can claim their listing by verifying ownership through their Google Business Profile or official documentation.
Enhanced & Synced
Verified agencies get enriched profiles with full details, priority placement, and ongoing data synchronization.
Two Types of Profiles
Our directory contains both auto-generated and verified agency profiles. Here's what each means.
Auto-Generated Listings
- Created from public sources (Ofsted, Google)
- Basic information only
- May have limited contact details
- Clearly marked as unclaimed
These profiles help us provide comprehensive coverage while agencies verify their listings.
Claimed & Verified Listings
- Agency ownership confirmed
- Full contact details and information
- Regularly synced and updated
- Priority placement in searches
Verified agencies have full control over their profile and receive enhanced visibility.
