Businesses and contractors must guarantee the accuracy of their credentials. Consumers can easily search for a business based on their credentials, such as registration, licensing, and years in business.

One problem with reviews is that a negative review often blindsides a business. Never be blindsided again. See the video.

 

One of the problems most businesses experience is not asking for reviews. They are concerned about negative reviews and are not proactive in seeking feedback.

Safe and Trusted Canada offers Equote Request to consumers as a part of our total search function for businesses.   Businesses with premium subscriptions can receive requests from consumers who want to gather quotes from several companies without making a phone call.  Companies can then follow up with that potential customer.  Just one lead could create a new customer and pay for your subscription many times over.  The business owner can opt out of Equote Requests through their content management area.   See More

Payments can be made by credit card, cheque or electronic transfer. There are no refunds for paid accounts as The Site gives the Basic Account at no charge for evaluation purposes of our Site Content Management System.

What is your business credentials score with consumers? See the video.

 

We want to remind all businesses and contractors of the importance of accurately listing their credentials on our site. When consumers search for a business or contractor, they rely on the Trusted Factors listed to decide. Businesses and contractors must guarantee the accuracy of their credentials. Consumers can easily search for a business by its credentials, such as registration, licensing, and years in business. Similarly, contractor credentials, such as workers’ compensation, liability insurance, and written contracts, provide consumers with the information needed to make an informed decision.

In all cases, consumers will evaluate and make their own decisions.

The business is in the third tier of the database.   See the video.

Display of the business occurs above Information Only Profiles, Basic Subscriptions, Plus Subscriptions Standard Subscriptions and any others who may have signed up for the Standard Subscription after your business in your region or categories.  The Standard Subscription is listed according to our Business Order of Display.

The Business Owner measures every View. The measured views are secured in the business content management pages and not displayed publicly. See More

Bypass your competition.  Link your profile on Safe and Trusted Canada, and your linking bypasses the competition.  See the video.

 

This means the user doesn’t have to search for you as a business on the Safe and Trusted site, which could also mean your customers won’t see your competition.    This advantage could be huge for you as a business owner.

Use your profile to augment your website.  You can add material to your profile more easily than on your website; more importantly, the user doesn’t see your competition in the process.  Imagine all the material on your Safe and Trusted Canada profile that is not on your website.  

You can also link to all your local affiliations and any business category affiliations that show why customers should pick you.  Affiliations enhance a business’s overall credibility. Go to the content management area in the Basic area and list each under affiliations.  Place the affiliation’s name, then add the link to your listing with that affiliation.  Place the full link next to the name of the affiliation.  If you have a premium subscription, all affiliations are automatically shortened.  This also works for your website and links back to specific parts of it.    Using Links in Your Business Presentation.

One of our platform’s benefits is that businesses can place their contact information, links to their social media, business credentials, and links to all their review sites. They can highlight what makes them different and even provide specific links to their website. Businesses manage their own reviews and send all their information to a potential client in one link. This allows the business owner to give their clients the whole picture.

Your subscription allows customers to leave reviews.  See the tutorial 

See the video about reviews.

 

The business owner monitors and posts all reviews if they have an account.  Remember, the Basic Subscription is free.  Safe and Trusted Canada may show all reviews if the business has an Information Only profile.

Having an account gives you the advantage of always being on top of your business as a business owner. You can request the deletion of a corrected customer review or ask for the deletion of a review that is not from your customer. As a business, you are not allowed to review your own business. You can ask for reviews from all your customers without worrying about what they’ll say. Your advantage is that you are always on top of your business.

One problem with reviews is that a negative one often blindsides a business.  Never be blindsided again.   See the video.

 

One problem most businesses experience is not asking for reviews. They are worried about negative reviews and are not proactive about asking for feedback. The Safe and Trusted Review system allows business owners to proactively ask for customer feedback and instantly become aware of issues they may not know about. Use proactive reviews to identify issues quickly for the business owner.  This will enable the business owner to quickly mitigate issues and resolve customer problems before they escalate out of hand with reviews on websites or even complaints to the Better Business Bureau.

Present Your Business Basics First.  We call them Trusted Factors.  See the video.

 

Safe and Trusted Canada is looking for businesses with an advertised name registered and meeting licensing requirements for the business’s physical trade area and years in business matters on our website.  We are looking for businesses that can clearly articulate that their credentials in the content management area are provided in account access.

In addition to the business credentials, if you are a contractor, the Site allows the contractor to indicate in writing that they have liability insurance, worker’s compensation, and warranties.    We are looking for businesses that can articulate their credentials in the content management area provided in account access and add to their overall credential score with consumers.

The business owner agrees to receive Safe and Trusted Canada emails regarding customer reviews, instructions, updates, and monthly newsletters. The video shows your content management system for your business. 

Our content management system allows businesses unlimited options, including managing, marketing, and growing their business.

Some business categories are not part of the Site.  Our current category options are the same in every city and town.   See Saskatoon as an example. The Site is currently expanding. See other areas.

The Site automatically reduces the subscription to an Information Only profile should the subscription be cancelled.  The company may also be archived.

Safe and Trusted Canada has a review system. 

The Information  Only profile does not offer business account privileges. As such, the company cannot respond to or post responses to reviews.

It is noted that a Basic subscription is free for the business. The business owner can decide whether to respond to consumers and post reviews through their content management system. The Basic Subscription allows the business owner to opt out of reviews entirely. The system also offers a QR code that the business can print on a card to give to customers for feedback. This will produce more reviews for the company.

Consumers can leave a review only if they are customers of that business. The consumer needs to include all the data in the review so that the company clearly understands who left it.

The review process requires the consumer to provide an email address, and the consumer receives a verification email confirming that the review is legitimate. Once verified, the consumer can leave reviews on any other businesses on the Site that they have been customers of. However, they can only leave one review per business.

Businesses with accounts can handle reviews, post them, and, of course, respond to them. Safe and Trusted Canada does not handle complaints.

If the consumer has a complaint against a business, has left a review, and is not satisfied with the business owner’s response, other options are available. We suggest that you file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau or seek legal advice. Our Site links to BBB reports, if available, from where you can quickly leave both a review and a complaint.

Although we understand the importance of reviews, we are not interested in business owners leaving positive reviews about their business through their employees or people connected to the company.  This would be a violation of our policy.  

Safe and Trusted Canada sees problems with some people leaving reviews about businesses in one part of the country and two hours later leaving a review about a company 2000 miles away.  Sometimes, you will see multiple reviews for different companies, all from the same person on the same day.  The business owner can reject a review from anyone who is not an actual customer. 

Our system indicates that business and customer transactions are theirs alone. We do not mediate issues, including reviews.

So our system puts review posting directly in the hands of the business owner, with numerous options to address issues and verify reviews from actual customers who have dealt with the business.

Users can leave a review by placing their email address and, preferably, a phone number in the review area. This allows a business to contact the customer directly to thank them for the review or to give a heads-up about a problem. The email address will be verified only once during our process. This way, users can leave reviews for other businesses on our system.

All Accounts can keep the review for reference, respond directly to the customer, or delete it with a note explaining why the business owner deleted it. The review may also be posted or not posted by the business. Any deleted review is sent to Safe and Trusted Canada administration staff for further review. The Site is looking for companies that can manage and respond to customers.

Posting the review. The business is not allowed to post reviews from those directly connected to the company as an employee or as any staff linked to the business. Doing so would cause concerns because this would be a fraudulent review.

Posting the review with a response.  The area of reply can be for both negative or positive reviews.  The business then posts the review.

Rejection of a review for other reasons.  Other reasons for rejecting a review might be as follows:

• The business is in a court action with the consumer or is in collections.
• The business is not aware that this is a customer.
• The review is a personal attack, not an objective one.
• Employee complaints and issues.
• Business-to-business relationships.

The bottom line is that a small percentage of reviews will be negative, and the business must deal with its legitimate customers.  The business owner will not be blindsided and can address issues they were unaware of before they became major problems on social media and multiple review sites.

The business owner must post reviews using their account.

The review format allows the consumer to decide whether to leave a positive, neutral, or negative review. It will also enable consumers to share their opinion on whether they are likely or less likely to recommend this business to others. The business owner verifies the review before it can be posted. If the company does not have an account, the rating is always posted, but the review content is not.

The consumer will only see posted reviews. A rejected review will not appear in the overall rating. Suppose the consumer is unhappy with the business and feels the owner is not treating them appropriately. In that case, they can leave reviews on other sites or take legal action.

Clearly, the site indicates in every profile that transactions between the consumer and the business are between the two entities.

Safe and Trusted Canada provides links to review sites associated with the business. If the company has a subscription, it can opt not to show reviews on other review sites besides Google and the Better Business Bureau.

The business owner will have access to links to other review sites through their account.  These review links may be proprietary to a particular site and may not be published automatically.  The business owner can see information on other sites to correct their business information and may publish their review sites if they have a paid account.

Safe and Trusted Canada is a consumer-focused discovery platform.  Our goal is to help consumers compare and identify businesses that are relevant, current, and useful when making purchasing decisions.

Information-Only profiles may appear on the Site to help consumers discover businesses and explore publicly available information, such as contact details and links to third-party review platforms. These profiles are created using publicly available information and do not represent an endorsement, verification, or accreditation by Safe and Trusted Canada. See the video.

Information-only profiles are also created for the business owner.   A business may apply for an account and wish to know which products and services our company offers, as well as which products and services their company may wish to offer consumers through Safe and Trusted Canada.  As soon as the business has an account status, information about our services, possible business categories, and possible trade areas disappears for both the consumer and the business owner.

Information -Only profiles are not permanent listings. They are provided at the Site’s discretion and may be reviewed, updated, limited, or removed at any time.

Safe and Trusted Canada may remove an Information-Only profile when;

a) The business is no longer operating or cannot be reasonably verified.
b) The information is outdated, incomplete, or misleading
c) The category or region is being curated to improve consumer clarity
d) The business requests removal
e) The profile no longer contributes meaningfully to consumer decision-making

Businesses that wish to control, update or expand their presence may apply for a free Basic Subscription at any time. Trust Factors

Safe and Trusted Canada is not a regulator, accreditation body, or complaint authority. Consumers are encouraged to review all available sources and make their own decisions.

Safe and Trusted Canada focuses on helping consumers identify the most relevant and useful business options, rather than listing every business.

All our account types are for legitimate businesses.  The business owner must list their credentials and must not have any readily apparent issues known to consumers.  A business owner can apply at any time.

Only the business owner can authorize an account. We look for companies with credentials. Trusted Factors

Safe and Trusted Canada, “The Site”,” now allows consumer reviews. Information-only profiles cannot respond or post reviews because they do not  have account status.  his will give the consumer information that may not be available unless the business takes out an account.

 

Users are responsible for viewing all the links, ratings, and reviews. The review sites can be positive or negative.   See the Better Business Links if they are available.  The links can change at any time.  The business as an Information Only profile is, as it is highlighted, ” Information Only.”

Information Only profiles can ask for archival of their listing if they are no longer in business.  If Google and Better Business Business Bureau have the business as closed, we will also archive and remove it.  They can also ask for removal as they own their business information.  The Site may remove businesses with incomplete information on periodic review.  Safe and Trusted Canada is a neutral site.

As a business,  if your Information Only Profile needs updating, the company can contact The Site.  There is no obligation for you to apply for an account, but suggest this as an option to grow your business further at no cost.  If you are out of business, please advise so that the site admin can archive your profile.

What is your business credentials score with consumers? See the video.

Consumers can easily search for a business and select the business they want based on credentials.

Is the Advertised Name registered? Is the business licensed for the business category and city or town? How many years they have been in business is also a factor.  You must guarantee that the listed business credentials are correct if you are a business owner.  Your credentials can be viewed and searched by consumers. The Site will not score or validate the credentials.

If you are a contractor, in addition to the above, do you carry worker’s compensation and liability insurance and do you provide written contracts and warranty? So, in addition to the subscription level, contractor credentials provide the consumer with the separation needed between one business and another. A business must guarantee that the listed contractor’s credentials are accurate.  Your credentials can be viewed and searched by consumers. The Site will not score or validate the credentials.

The credential score for hotels and restaurants is the composite review done by Safe and Trusted Canada. All the review sites form the composite review, and that average is the credentials score for that business.   The composite review may be available to the consumer if it is completed.  Hotels and Restaurants will retain their scores because this is an average of all review sites as Information Only profiles.  Once they apply for account status, they lose their credential score.

In all cases, consumers will evaluate and make their own decisions.

All reviews are monitored and posted by the business owner.  The advantage here is that you are always on top of your business as a business owner.  You can request the deletion of corrected customer reviews or even ask the customer for a new review.  As a business, you are not allowed to review your own business.    The advantage for you is that you are always on top of your business.

One of the problems with reviews is that, too often, a business is blindsided by a negative review.  Never be blindsided again.   See the video.

 

One of the problems most businesses experience is not asking for reviews. They are worried about negative reviews and are not proactive in asking for feedback.

The Safe and Trusted Review system allows the business owner to proactively ask for customer feedback and instantly become aware of issues unknown to the business owner.

Use proactive reviews to identify issues quickly for the business owner.  This will enable the business owner to quickly mitigate issues and resolve problems with customers before they escalate out of hand with reviews on websites or even complaints to Better Business Bureau.

Safe and Trusted Canada is looking for businesses that have an advertised name that is registered and meeting licensing requirements for the business’s physical trade area.  Years in business matters on our website.  We are looking for businesses that can clearly articulate that in their credentials in the content management area provided in account access.

In addition to the Business credentials, if you are a contractor, The Site allows the contractor to indicate that they have liability insurance, worker’s compensation, and warranties in writing.    We are looking for businesses that can clearly articulate their credentials in the content management area provided in account access and add to their overall credential score.

What causes an alert? As with all subscriptions, the company must be responsible and accountable.  Business owners with subscriptions must ensure the accuracy of credentials in their profiles. The business owner can ask all the customers for reviews, post reviews, and handle private issues.  The business owner must ensure that they do not post reviews from anyone connected with their company.

The display order affects how the consumer views businesses on this website.

See the application.  Credibility Counts

The display order is not a factor if the company uses its website’s Safe and Trusted logo and code.  Using the logo and code provided gives a direct link from the company to the profile on Safe and Trusted and bypasses our order of display.

The display order is not a factor when a consumer uses the website’s Credentials Search function, as consumers may be looking for credentials that will impact the display order. For example, looking for businesses that have been in business for ten years or more will significantly affect the view.  

All subscriptions are at different levels. The start date of the business subscription determines placement for any account type, except for Information Only profiles, which are currently listed alphabetically.

Please note that we are now adding a new element to the way all listings are displayed to ensure that the consumer deals with the best business possible. 

As we can provide to the consumer, Google reviews will be a factor in the business display of our database. For example, the business category of Hotels is currently listed alphabetically for Information-Only profiles. Information profiles will gradually change to display the highest Google Review rating. Other account types will follow suit, making our process fair and equitable for all businesses while clarifying the consumer better.  The new order will be made by subscription type, composite rating, and business name alphabetically for hotels and restaurants.  Composite scores are not a factor for other business categories.

Based on additional information, consumers can view each business’s business and contractor credentials and make their own decisions.

Is the Advertised Name registered? Is the business licensed for the business category and city or town? How many years they have been in business is also a factor.  You must guarantee that the listed business credentials are correct if you are a business owner.   Your credentials can be viewed and searched by consumers. The Site will not score or validate the credentials.  Information Only profiles cannot list business credentials.

If you are a contractor, do you carry worker’s compensation and liability insurance and provide written contracts and warranties in addition to the above? So, in addition to the subscription level, contractor credentials offer the consumer the separation needed between one business and another. A company must guarantee that the listed contractor’s credentials are accurate.  Your credentials can be viewed and searched by consumers. The Site will not score or validate the credentials.  Information-only profiles cannot list business credentials.

All information-only profiles will be seen by the date added to the website by business category and trade area. The Site will still link to various review sites and social media for Information-Only profiles. Information-only profiles can be removed if they verify they are no longer in business or at the business owner’s request.

In all cases, consumers will evaluate and make their own decisions.

If a company moves from a Professional Subscription to a Basic Subscription, it loses its subscription level and does not retain the date of its initial signup.

Consumers can refine their search by viewing the business’s external review sites and reviews generated on Safe and Trusted Canada.

Safe and Trusted Canada (the Site) offers the Plus Subscription option, priced at $99.00 plus GST per year. Yearly subscriptions are automatically billed 60 days before expiration.  

All yearly subscriptions paid monthly are billed at the subscription amount divided by 12, with a $2.00 monthly transaction fee for a consecutive 12-month period.  Monthly subscriptions paid yearly are $10.25 plus GST. If paid annually, excluding tax, the daily investment is $0.27.  There are no discounts. 

All subscription types require Business Credentials.

See the application.  Credibility Matters

See the Search functions of our Directory

Each subscription type with permission comes with a Done-for-You Setup.

Each business owner has complete control over their profile, including credentials, categories, photos, videos, website links, and references on review sites at any time.  The Plus Subscription does not allow direct links to the business website, images, or videos.  It focuses on credentials.

Please see our Terms and Conditions of Use and the Legal Disclaimers and Policies.

Our system makes it easy for the business. See the video below.

 

Your business is important to you. Why waste your time and money? Let us generate your profile so that you can determine the best options for your business. All that is required is an email from the business owner. We only deal with the business owner or their designated marketing staff. This is because we want your profile maximized with you, the owner, in complete control through your account management platform.

Premium Subscriptions Increase Views

See the video about the Plus Subscription below.

 

This account type allows the account holder to create up to 20 subcategories in their profile and place that profile in up to 1 trade area adjacent to the business location.

Payments can be made by credit card, cheque or electronic transfer. There are no refunds for paid accounts as The Site gives the Basic Account at no charge for evaluation purposes of our Site Content Management System.

What is your business credentials score with consumers? See the video.

 

We would like to remind all businesses and contractors of the importance of accurately listing their credentials on our website. When consumers search for a business or contractor, they rely on the listed credentials to make their decision. Businesses and contractors must guarantee the accuracy of their credentials.

Consumers can easily search for a business based on their credentials, such as registration, licensing, and years in business. Similarly, contractor credentials, such as workers’ compensation, liability insurance, and written contracts, provide consumers with the necessary information to make an informed decision.

Businesses and contractors must understand that consumers can view and search their credentials. The site will not score or validate credentials; consumers are responsible for their own decisions. Therefore, businesses and contractors must take responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of their credentials.

By accurately listing your credentials, you can establish trust with potential customers and stand out from your competitors. Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the accuracy of the listed credentials.

The credential score for hotels and restaurants is the composite review done by Safe and Trusted Canada. All the review sites form the composite review, and the average is the credential score for that business. The composite review may be available to the consumer if it is completed. Hotels and Restaurants will retain their scores because this is an average of all review sites as Information-Only profiles.

In all cases, consumers will evaluate and make their own decisions.

The business is in the fourth tier of the database.  See the video.

 

The business is displayed above: Information Only Profiles, Basic Subscriptions, and Plus Subscriptions for those who may have signed up for the Plus Subscription after your business in your region or categories. Your listed business credentials also impact the order of display. The Plus Subscription is listed according to our Business Order of Display.

The Business Owner measures every View. The measured views are secured in the business content management pages and are not displayed for public view. See More

Bypass your competition.  Link your profile on Safe and Trusted Canada, and your linking bypasses the competition.  See the video.

 

This means that the user does not have to search you out as a business on the Safe and Trusted site, which could also mean that your customers won’t see your competition.    This advantage could be huge for you as a business owner.

Use your profile to augment your website.  You can add material to your profile more easily than on your website; more importantly, the user doesn’t see your competition.  Imagine all the material on your Safe and Trusted Canada profile that is not on your website.

You can also link to all your local affiliations and any business category affiliations that show why customers should pick you.  Affiliations add to the overall credibility of a business. Go to the content management area in the Basic section and list each affiliation under the relevant category.  Place the affiliation’s name, then add the link to your listing with that affiliation.  Place the full link next to the name of the affiliation. If you have a Professional, Advanced, or Standard subscription, all affiliations are automatically shortened.  This also works for your website and links back to certain parts of your website.    Using Links in Your Business Presentation.

One of our platform’s benefits is that businesses can place their contact information, social media links, business credentials, and all their review sites.  They can highlight what makes them different, promotions, now hiring, and even specific links to their website.  They manage their reviews and send all their information to a potential client in one link.  This allows the business owner to give their clients the whole picture.

Your subscription allows customers to leave reviews.  See the tutorial 

See the video about reviews.

 

All reviews are monitored and posted by the business owner.  The advantage here is that you are always on top of your business as a business owner.  You can request the deletion of corrected customer reviews or even ask the customer for a new review.  As a business, you are not allowed to review your own business.    The advantage is that you are always on top of your business.

One of the problems with reviews is that, too often, a business is blindsided by a negative review.  Never be blindsided again.   See the video.

 

One problem most businesses experience is not asking for reviews. They are worried about negative reviews and are not proactive about asking for feedback.

The Safe and Trusted Review system allows the business owner to proactively ask for customer feedback and become aware of issues that may be unknown to the owner.

Use proactive reviews to identify issues quickly for the business owner.  This will enable the business owner to quickly mitigate issues and resolve customer problems before they escalate out of hand with reviews on websites or even complaints to Better Business Bureau.

Present Your Business Basics First.  We call them credentials.  See the video.

 

Safe and Trusted Canada is looking for businesses with an advertised name registered and meeting licensing requirements for the business’s physical trade area.  Years in business matters on our website.  We are looking for businesses that can clearly articulate that in their credentials in the content management area provided in account access.

In addition to the business credentials, if you are a contractor, the Site allows the contractor to indicate in writing that they have liability insurance, worker’s compensation, and warranties.    We are looking for businesses that can articulate their credentials in the content management area provided in account access and add to their overall credential score with consumers.

The business owner agrees to receive Safe and Trusted Canada emails regarding customer reviews, instructions, updates, and monthly newsletters. The video shows your content management system for your business. 

Our content management system allows businesses unlimited options, including managing, marketing, and growing their business.

The Site automatically reduces the subscription to an Information Only profile should the subscription be cancelled.  The company may also be archived.

Alerts for Information Only Profiles apply as follows.  

An Information-Only profile will have a temporary alert placed on the business if it asks for removal or has gone out of business as an Information-Only profile.

The alert is placed on the business, which will be archived at the same time we place the alert.  The Site will keep the company in our database as archived and not visible.  Pending Google’s update of our site, it may still show up on Google for a short period of time.

A company that has an Information Only profile can ask to have an account and the ability to update their business information through their account-protected username and password.

 

Alerts for Account Holders occur when a company has violated the Site significantly.    Account holders may have an alert for the following three reasons. 

a)  The Account Holder has placed credentials into their profile that they do not have.  The company has committed a major violation of our Site policies and affected the Site’s credibility and all businesses on the Site.  If they do, the company has violated our Site policies significantly. It results in retention on the Site with an Alert Status as an Information Only Profile for one year before archival from the Site. This issue is completely avoidable by the business owner.

b)  Account holders can opt out of reviews.   Consumers can leave reviews about their business on the Safe and Trusted Canada site.  A consumer cannot leave a review if the business has opted out of reviews.   If the business opts into receiving reviews on the Safe and Trusted Site , then the  business is cautioned not to approve reviews directly or indirectly from staff, employees or those connected with the company.   If they do, the company has violated our Site policies significantly. It results in retention on the Site with an Alert Status as an Information Only profile for one year before archival from the Site.  Please note that a company has a choice not to handle reviews by not opting out of reviews from their account.  This then would eliminate this issue entirely. 

c) The account holder has gone out of business.

d) The Alert is placed on the business for one year.  After one year, the company is archived and no longer visible.

What we have often found is that the business owner has a marketing agency looking for increase their search engine optimization for the business.  The marketing agency has no great knowledge of the business or contractor credentials as a result this becomes a liability to the business.

This is why we prefer to deal with the business owner at all times to ensure they understand the purpose of the site and what makes us different from other providers.    The site will work directly with any business owner to ensure everything is accurate and more importantly complete to attract consumers to their business.

The Site automatically reduces the subscription to an Information Only profile should the subscription be cancelled.  The company may also be archived.

Safe and Trusted Canada offers Equote Request to consumers as a part of our total search function for businesses.

Businesses with premium subscriptions can receive requests from consumers who want to gather quotes from several businesses without making a phone call.   Just one lead could make a new customer.

This is an automatic benefit to some key business categories.  The business owner has the ability to opt out of Equote Requests through their content management area.

The consumer selects the trade area and then the business category.

The consumer selects the standard credentials they are looking to business to have first.  Here they will decide on how many years in business are necessary, whether the advertised name of the business is registered and if all the legal requirements for the trade area and category are in place.  The business owner has to guarantee what they place in their credentials area is accurate or if it is subsequently shown that the credentials are false, the business will be faced with an alert notification on their profile for one year and will be removed.

If the business category is a contractor, the consumer yet again determines the contractor credentials they are looking at the business to possess.  Again the credentials placed into the profile by the business owner must be accurate.

The consumer fills out their name, phone number and email address and enough detail that makes it easy for the business to contact you and arrange a quote.

Please note that it is up to the business owner if they want to opt into the request equote system.   They do this through the content management system of the Safe and Trusted platform for their business.

Only businesses that have agreed to be part of the request equote will be seen by the consumer for selection purposes.

This benefit allows the consumer to ask for quotes from up to 10 businesses at one time.  This saves the consumer time and money and is only done after the consumer has listed the credentials they are looking for in hiring a business in the first place.

The consumer can select up to 10 businesses if available and places their email contact into the form as well as their phone number, first and last name.   The consumer adds content to give the business more information as to what they are requesting.  EG. Roofing quote for 1000 square foot house.  Looking for a quote from a business that provides total cleanup and hauling of debris away as part of the overall price.

Admin contacts the consumer to ensure that they are a viable lead or that our Site can provide assistance.   The businesses on our Site will have generally more qualifications, credentials, and history than other sites where there is no system of sort and selection involved.

The business seen first in the database has a greater opportunity to receive requests.  This is a great lead system for the business as well as saving time for the consumer.

The Site automatically reduces the subscription to an Information Only profile should the subscription be cancelled.  The company may also be archived.

A business in the marketplace has links to social media, review sites, and business directories, affiliations, and of course, the website of the company.

Safe and Trusted Canada provides links to everything that we can readily find about the business.   The links could show excellence or a need for improvement.  Safe and Trusted Canada allows the consumer to make their decisions on the quality of the links as well as the quality of the content.  There is no interpretation, nor does Safe and Trusted Canada endorse, validate, recommend or suggest a business.  We provide a system where the consumer sorts and selects companies based on the criteria the user feels vital to them.  

Information Only profiles contain links to your website, social media, and other review sites that are already available to the consumer.  We include your contact data and additional information available to consumers in one profile.  It is as if the consumer did the research, and of course, we will be happy to update your data if there are changes.  The archival of the business occurs if the company is no longer in operation.  The business owner can contact us, and we are more than happy to inform the Better Business Bureau and Google that your business is no longer in operation. They can contact you directly if required.    

Account Holders – To protect consumers, other businesses, and the integrity of the Site, Account holders have higher standards and greater responsibilities as a business.

The reason for this is that the company is now placing content on our Site and has control over reviews, placement of now hiring links, links to affiliations, and can place their credentials into their business profile. 

Should an account no longer be in operation, the business changes from account status to an Information Only profile?  If the firm develops an F-Rating with Better Business Bureau, or reviews show that the company profile shows concerns, the business profile becomes an information Only profile.  

The company develops an alert if they place credentials into their business profile they do not possess or post reviews on their profile from people connected directly or indirectly with the firm. Archival cannot happen if the business has an alert. See Alerts.
