Directory guide
Agencies and carriers in the directory
How agencies and carriers differ on InsuranceFinder.
Agencies and brokers
Agencies and brokers may offer products from one or more carriers, with local footprint, website, and published phone as directory data when supported.
Carriers
Carriers are underwriters or brands with a wide footprint, labeled as carriers. Appointments are confirmed with the firm or the state — not by InsuranceFinder.
Why both appear
Empty stays empty. The directory does not invent local agents.
Reading the card
A card may show name, website, published phone, a Licensing strip, and coverage lines. Confirm licensing via How to check an insurance license.
When a listing stays on hold
An operations step before publish — not a public ranking.
