How SeeSomeone works
How provider information works
Every profile on SeeSomeone is one of two kinds, and the profile itself tells you which. This page explains where each kind comes from and what has been checked.
Two kinds of profile
Unclaimed listings
Most profiles are built from information that professionals and their practices have already published, such as a practice website or a clinic’s team page. We record the basics that the source states: a name, a professional title, a practice and where it is. An unclaimed profile says so on the page, and offers the professional a way to take it over.
When a source does not state something, we leave it out. A clinic team page usually says where somebody practises. It often does not say what they charge, whether they work online, or whether they are taking new clients. Where we do not know, the profile says the information is not available instead of guessing.
Claimed profiles
A professional can claim their listing, or create one, and then manage it. A claimed profile can carry more: who they work with, areas of focus, fees, contact details, and current availability with the date they confirmed it. Before a claim is approved, a person at SeeSomeone checks it. See what SeeSomeone verifies.
Anything a professional writes about themselves in their own words, such as a display name, a headline or an About section, is read by a person before it appears on the public profile. A photo is reviewed the same way.
What you can rely on, and what to confirm
- Where information came from. A profile shows whether a detail was seen on a practice website or provided by the professional, with a date where there is one.
- Registration. A registration number is shown as information the professional provided, with a link to the official register where one is available. Always confirm current registration with the regulator.
- Fit and quality. SeeSomeone does not assess how good a professional is and does not recommend one over another.
If something is wrong
Every profile has a “Report an issue” link. Professionals can correct their own listing by claiming it, or by writing to hello@seesomeone.ca. The full process is on the corrections page.
