How placement works
1. You choose your areas
Towns or council areas where you recruit foster carers: Cardiff, Leeds, Kent, and so on. Featured covers up to five; Premium covers every area you serve.
2. Visitors search those areas
When someone searches one of your areas (or, for Premium, filters by your nation), your card is pinned to the top of the results with a “Featured” label and a distinct outline. Everywhere else your listing sits in its normal place.
3. It stays fair
At most 3 pinned listings per search. If more qualify for an area, the slots rotate daily so each partner gets equal time at the top. Nothing is pinned on an empty search.
Why partners go Featured
You reach people at the moment they choose
Our visitors are not browsing. They have typed their town into a fostering directory because they are deciding who to call. Being the first card they see, in the areas you recruit in, is the difference between their enquiry and a competitor’s.
Every enquiry is yours, not shared
Enquiries from your profile go straight to your team. We never sell leads, pass details around or charge per enquiry. One fixed monthly price, however many people get in touch.
Your profile keeps working for you
Each profile is a page of its own in search engines, so searches like “fostering agencies in Cardiff” land on your listing, and the badge on your site links back to it. Featured partners get the richer profile that turns that traffic into enquiries.
You see exactly what you get
Every month: profile views, how often you appeared in searches and for which areas, clicks to your recruitment page and enquiries received, each compared with the month before. If the numbers do not justify the price, you stop; there is no long contract.
Scarce by design
No more than three pinned listings per search, and the slots rotate fairly. Placement is worth having because not everyone can have it. Founding partners get first choice of areas and keep their launch price for twelve months.
Trusted by the people you want to reach
Visitors can see where every detail on the site came from, and paid placement is always labelled. That openness is why they trust the listing at the top, and why a Featured card reads as a recommendation, not an advert.

Questions
Is the logo really free?
Yes. Once you claim your profile you can add your logo at no cost. Until then your listing shows an initials tile.
Does paying change what you publish about us?
No. Paid and free providers are checked and corrected the same way. Paid placements and sponsored content are always labelled, and links from paid placements are marked as sponsored for search engines.
How quickly can we go live?
Tell us your areas and your placement is live within one working day. Your richer profile goes up as soon as you send us your photos and text.
Can we change our areas or stop?
Yes. Change your areas whenever you like, and the subscription is monthly rolling with no long contract.
What is included from day one?
Your free profile, claims and corrections, pinned placement in your areas and the badge for your website are live now. The richer profile, the enquiry form and the monthly reports are rolling out next; they are included in your price as they land, and we never charge for a feature before it exists.
Are these prices final?
No. They are starting points. Contact us for current pricing and a written quote.
