Safe and Trusted – Content Management System

  • Business Order of Display

    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.

    Tier 1 – Professional – See Professional Subscription
    Tier 2-  Advanced –  See Advanced Subscription
    Tier 3-  Standard – See Standard Subscription
    Tier 4 – Plus  – See Plus Subscription
    Tier 5 – Basic – See Basic Subscription
    Tier 6 – Information Only –See Information Only

    The Site automatically reduces the subscription to an Information Only profile should the subscription be cancelled.  The business may also be archived.  See When We Archive a Business.

    Credibility Counts

    Our system is different.  We look for businesses that are legally registered and licensed.  We look for contractors that have all their business credentials in order.  Our system is for business owners with all their credentials in order.  Business Credentials 

    We don’t take everyone.  See the following link. Credibility Questions and Links

    If you, as a business owner, wish to have an account, email us at office@safeandtrusted.com or call us toll-free at 1-888-979-6490. Our admin sets up the account for the business owner directly and ensures everything is accurate with the business profile.

    Once the business owner approves, we will continue with invoicing. This eliminates marketing reps setting up accounts for businesses the business owner did not authorize. The new process ensures the business owner understands how to maximize their listing as a maintenance function afterwards. You will be added to our email list for updates and promotions.

    We invoice the business owner directly.   Payment can occur by cheque, credit card or electronic transfer.   You can also call us directly at 888-979-6490.  Please note that we do not issue refunds for any paid account. If paying monthly, we need 60 days’ notice to cancel an account.

    We provide a system where the consumer sorts and selects businesses based on the criteria they feel are important to them.

  • Reputation Management.

    Safe and Trusted Canada is a Vendasta Partner and passes savings to your business if you are part of our business directory.    See the video. 

    Reputation management is indeed a crucial aspect of any business. It refers to monitoring, influencing, and improving the public perception of your company, brand, or product. Maintaining a positive reputation can significantly impact your success in today’s digital age, where information spreads quickly. Here’s why reputation management is essential for your business:

    1. Builds Trust with Customers

    A strong, positive reputation instills trust in your customers. People are more likely to do business with a company they trust, whether to purchase products, engage in services, or invest in long-term partnerships. Reputation management helps create an image that reassures customers they are making a safe and reliable choice.

    2. Improves Brand Image

    Actively managing your reputation allows you to shape how customers and the public view your business. Addressing negative reviews, highlighting positive customer experiences, and promoting good practices can enhance your overall image. This can improve customer perception and increase brand loyalty.

    3. Attracts New Customers

    Potential customers often look up reviews and feedback before engaging with a company. Positive reviews and a well-managed reputation can differentiate your business from competitors and encourage prospects to choose you. This is especially true when people rely on word-of-mouth and social proof to guide their decisions.

    4. Helps Manage Negative Feedback

    No business is immune to criticism. How you respond to negative feedback is crucial. Reputation management involves addressing complaints, correcting mistakes, and turning potentially harmful situations into opportunities for growth. By being proactive and transparent, you can mitigate the damage of negative publicity and demonstrate your commitment to customer satisfaction.

    5. Impacts on Search Engine Results

    Your online reputation often affects your SEO ranking. Negative reviews or unflattering articles can lower your search engine rankings, while a positive reputation can increase your visibility. Reputation management efforts, such as generating positive reviews, addressing concerns, and maintaining an active online presence, can improve how you rank on search engines.

    6. Enhances Employee Morale and Retention

    A company with a positive reputation doesn’t just attract customers; it also attracts and retains top talent. Employees feel proud to work for a company with a strong reputation, which boosts morale and reduces turnover. Happy employees contribute to a positive work environment, strengthening the company’s brand.

    8. Increases Sales and Profits

    Ultimately, a strong reputation can lead to higher sales and greater profitability. A positive public image increases customer loyalty, more word-of-mouth marketing, and better conversion rates. A reputation management strategy contributes to the long-term financial success of your business.

    9. Competitor Advantage

    This gives you a distinct advantage if your competitors are not actively managing their reputations. By consistently providing excellent service, engaging with customers online, and addressing any issues, you can outshine your competition and become the preferred choice for consumers.

  • The Signs of a Credible Business

    A credible business holds several advantages that make it more valuable to consumers.   These are the seven areas that make a credible business.

    1. Trustworthiness: Credible businesses are perceived as more trustworthy.  When a business consistently delivers on its promises, maintains transparency, and behaves ethically, consumers feel more confident in engaging with them.  Trust is the foundation of any consumer business relationship.
    2. Quality Assurance: Credible businesses strive to meet or exceed customer expectations by offering products and services of consistent quality. This commitment to high standards ensures customer satisfaction, a key element of a credible business.
    3. Customer Service: Credible businesses prioritize customer satisfaction. They are responsive to inquiries, concerns, and feedback and provide excellent customer service throughout the consumer journey. This commitment to customer care enhances the overall experience and fosters loyalty.
    4. Reputation:  A strong reputation is a valuable asset for any business.  Credible businesses build reputations over time through their actions, interactions, and the quality of their offerings.  A favorable reputation attracts new customers and encourages repeat business from existing ones.
    5. Risk Mitigation: Consumers are often cautious about engaging with businesses that appear risky or unreliable.  Credible businesses reduce perceived risks for consumers by demonstrating stability.
    6. Compliance :  A credible business ensures that they meet all the requirements for licensing, name registration, and all the requirements necessary to conduct business for their business category, city and province.
    7. Ethical Behavior : Credible businesses adhere to ethical standards in all aspects of their operations, including treatment of employees, suppliers, and customers.
    8. Leadership :  The business owner is key to the success of a credible business.  Some leaders inspire staff and can build a business with positivity, planning, and commitment.

  • What Causes an Alert About A Business?

    Safe and Trusted Canada applies Alerts only to account holders who include information in their listing that they cannot reasonably support.   Information-only profiles do not display Alerts.

    What This Includes

    Licensing where applicable.
    Insurance, such as liability coverage or WCB
    Certifications or professional designations.
    Industry affiliations or memberships.
    Claimed years in business.
    Services Offered
    Any statements that suggest specialization or qualification.
    Any supporting content, such as images, PDFs, or videos, that imply credentials or experience.
    Approving customer reviews from staff connected with the business.
    Approving reviews from others who are not actual customers.

    What Does Not Trigger an Alert

    Missing or incomplete information.
    Information Only profiles.
    Consumer reviews or ratings.
    Customer complaints or disputes.

    Business Notification

    Each business controls the content of its listing and agrees to present accurate and supportable information.
    Businesses should include only information they can reasonably demonstrate if requested

    The Account Holder has gone out of business. 

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

    As a consumer, protect your interests at all times.

    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, the placement of now-hiring links, links to affiliations, and the placement of their credentials in their business profile. The company sets an alert if they place credentials in their business profile that they do not possess, or if they post reviews on their profile from people who are directly or indirectly connected to the firm. Archiving cannot happen if the business has an alert. See Alerts

    We advise consumers to protect their interests at all times.  See the videos and content. When Do We Archive a Business?
