Business Owners Must Ensure Accuracy of Credentials If Listed

Every business on the Site with account privileges has the option to list its business credentials or contractor credentials.

They must be accurate, and the business guarantees they are when they sign up for an account, as they have read our disclaimers. If a credential they post is invalid and a consumer or we challenge it, we flag the business and freeze the account. Site Admin will place an Alert on that business profile, which may remain permanently on our Site.

Only the business owner can authorize the credentials area input through their account access. Some business categories have Professional Affiliations, are governed by those affiliations, and are exempt from placing anything in the credentials area.  Other businesses such as hotels and restaurants are often regulated locally, and their reviews and pricing are determining factors, not credentials.

If you add credentials to your platform, they will show up in your listing.  Please review it through account access periodically to ensure everything is still accurate.

Contractors benefit most from the more search options area.  When consumers make big purchases, they want to filter contractors by years of experience and other guaranteed details.

Businesses must follow up yearly to ensure that what was placed on initial entry to the Site is still valid.

The following screenshot shows how the business updates its profile through its back-end management system.

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