Each subscription type with permission comes with a Done-for-You Setup<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Please see our\u00a0Terms and Conditions of Use<\/a><\/span>,<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0the\u00a0Legal\u00a0<\/a>Disclaimers and<\/a> Policy<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Premium Subscriptions Increase Views<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This account type allows the account holder to\u00a0create up to\u00a020 subcategories<\/a><\/span> in their profile and<\/span>\u00a0place that profile in up to 1 trade area<\/span><\/a> adjacent to the business location.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

What is your business’s consumer credentials score? See the video.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In all cases, consumers will evaluate and make their own decisions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The business is in the fourth tier<\/strong> of the database. See the video.<\/p>\n

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<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

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<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Bypass your competition. See the YouTube Video.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 \u00a0 This advantage could be huge for you as a business owner.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 \u00a0 Using Links in Your Business Presentation.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Your subscription allows customers to leave reviews. See the tutorial\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 \u00a0 The advantage is that you are always on top of your business.<\/p>\n

One of the problems with reviews is that, too often, a business is blindsided by a negative review. Never be blindsided again.\u00a0 \u00a0See the video.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One problem most businesses experience is not asking for reviews. They are worried about negative reviews and are not proactive about asking for feedback.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Our content management system offers businesses unlimited options for managing, marketing, and growing their business.<\/p>\n
