What is the Plus Subscription?

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

All yearly subscriptions paid monthly are based on the amount of the subscription divided by 12, with a $2.00 a month transaction fee for a consecutive 12 months.  Monthly subscriptions paid yearly are $10.25 plus GST. If paid yearly, not including tax, the daily investment is $0.27.  There are no discounts. 

All subscription types require Business Credentials.

See the application.  Credibility Matters

The Plus Subscription is subject to Trade Area and Subscription Limits.

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

All premium subscriptions allow 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.
