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, the Legal Disclaimers and Policy.

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 to be maximized, with you, the owner, in complete control through your account management platform.

Premium Subscriptions Increase Views

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’s consumer credentials score? See the video.

We want 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 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 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 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 on the business content management pages and are not displayed to the public. See More

Bypass your competition. See the YouTube 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. 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

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 request customer feedback and become aware of issues that may be unknown to them.

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, leading to reviews on websites or even complaints to the Better Business Bureau.

Our content management system offers businesses unlimited options for managing, marketing, and growing their business.

The implementation of the Credentials Score is now in place for all businesses.

Credentials are part of the overall business presentation through account access. They are another way to give consumers accurate information.  A company that does not state its standard or contractor credentials loses to competitors who do.  If the business lacks the basics, account privileges may be cancelled.

Businesses may apply for account status.  See all Subscription Types

Safe and Trusted Canada developed a system for displaying accommodations and hotels.   As the Site intends to present truthful and transparent information to consumers here is how it works. 

The Site can list any accommodation as an Information Only profile. The Information Only profile may be removed or modified at any time if the business is no longer in operation.   See our application.  Grow your Business Faster

The Site develops the profile with information already present on the internet.  This includes links to the accommodation including review links and social media links. Safe and Trusted Canada places more categories into the profile as well as trade areas.  Some hotels may be in up to 50 trade areas so that the consumer can choose an area rather than a specific location.   This also gives smaller trade areas equal opportunity to attract guests from major population areas.  See example

 

Safe and Trusted Canada may complete a composite review about the accommodation based on all the review sites.  Our composite reviews generally show that most review sites are generally close to each other in terms of the overall rating of the accommodation.  The composite review is instrumental in the positioning of the accommodation as it becomes the credibility score of the accommodation. 

Your hotel may not have a credibility score in place as there is insufficient information or our staff have missed this for your business.   Please send us an email so that we can handle this promptly for your business.  Credibility scores determine placement in the Safe and Trusted database and those without a score are seen last in our database.  The consumer will still be able to see links to multiple review sites for the property. 

Our content management system allows the business owner to change the content at any time through their account.  If we receive approval from the business owner, then we transfer appropriate data from your website into our system.  This saves the business owner time, money and most of all gives it an instant presentation.  All that is needed is an email from the actual business owner or the assigned marketing representative by the owner. 

 

The accommodation may apply for a Basic Subscription.  If it does then the accommodation can display key elements about their business including their logo, what makes them different, who their ideal client is and much more.   The Basic Subscription is at no cost.  This will move the accommodation ahead of all other Information Only profiles.  The accommodation is displayed according to their credibility score.  See the Basic Subscription. 

The accommodation may apply for the Plus Subscription.  If it does then the accommodation can display everything that is included in the Basic Subscription. The Plus Subscription is at $99.00 Canada-wide.  The accommodation has the ability to remove any review sites in their profile with the exception of Google and Better Business Bureau.   This will move the accommodation ahead of all other Information Only profiles and Basic Subscriptions.  The accommodation is displayed according to their credibility score.  See the Plus Subscription.  

The accommodation may apply for the Standard Subscription.  If it does then the accommodation can display everything that is included in the Basic Subscription and Plus Subscription for $199.00 Canada-wide.

Provinces indicate that businesses must meet certain guidelines to be a legitimate business within a province.   We are looking for businesses that follow the provincial rules and regulations.       The requirements of each province and a search tool that narrows requirements further are at this link. 

Some cities have laws in place that indicate that a business must be licensed for their jurisdiction.  Some cities do not require licensing as it is included in the property tax.  Some cities will not license a business unless the business is legally registered in that province. 

The Affiliate Subscription is for the business that supports an equal playing field for businesses in provinces and cities.  The  Affiliate Subscription is for the business owner whose credentials filled out in their profile show that they are legal and licensed for their trade area. 

If they are contractors, they need to indicate that they have liability insurance in place and that worker’s compensation covers them.  See the following requirements, including 3 or more years in business.    Click on the image to expand further if necessary. 

Safe and Trusted Canada would review the business profile and not necessarily accept a business just because it is legal or licensed.
