Stand Out to Consumers.

While Safe and Trusted Canada does not set industry standards, including provincial and city requirements, consumers are more likely to choose businesses that demonstrate strong credentials and transparency.  Listings with verified credentials and positive reputations consistently attract more attention.

Safe and Trusted Canada produces profiles to maximize exposure from day one. The business owner is sent a username and password so they can change their profile at any time.  Please note that the business owner is required to change their password upon receipt.  Change your password.

Businesses utilizing the maximum options of a Standard Subscription have increased value compared to the Plus and Basic Subscription levels, but our best subscription type is the Professional Subscription. 

The Standard Subscription gives the business owner access to Equote Requests. Safe and Trusted Canada offers Equote Request to consumers as a part of our total search function for businesses.   Businesses with premium subscriptions can receive requests from consumers who want to gather quotes from several companies without making a phone call.  Companies can then follow up with that potential customer.  Just one lead could create a new customer and pay for your subscription many times over.  The business owner can opt out of Equote Requests through their content management area.   See More

A profile utilizing the maximum options and features of a Standard subscription has increased value compared to some subscription types. Still, it does not surpass that of the Advanced and Professional subscriptions.  With discounts, a company might pay as little as $14.41 per month plus GST anywhere in Canada.

The Standard Subscription offers the business owner the third-best possible subscription. The business owner is interested in gaining more traction for their business, but is not interested in some of the benefits of a higher subscription level.

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 want to remind all businesses and contractors of the importance of accurately listing their credentials on our site. When consumers search for a business or contractor, they rely on the credentials listed to decide. 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, like worker's compensation, liability, 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 for credentials. The site will not score or validate credentials; consumers make 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.

Hotels and Restaurants may have a composite review and rating based on the average rating from numerous review sites.  Other businesses may also have a composite review, but the composite reviews have no bearing on the business allocation in the database.  Each company with an account can ask for more reviews from their clients and is given the ability to post those reviews through the content management area.  They can deal with issues privately if they do not risk negative reviews on multiple other sites.

In all cases, consumers will evaluate and make their own decisions.

The business is in the third tier of the database.   See the video.

Display of the business occurs above Information Only Profiles, Basic Subscriptions, Plus Subscriptions Standard Subscriptions and any others who may have signed up for the Standard Subscription after your business in your region or categories.  The Standard 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 not displayed publicly. 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 in the process.  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 area and list each under affiliations.  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 subscription, all the affiliations automatically shorten.  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, links to their social media, business credentials, and links to all their review sites. They can highlight what makes them different and even provide specific links to their website. Businesses manage their own 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.

The business owner monitors and posts all reviews if they have an account.  Remember, the Basic Subscription is free.  Safe and Trusted Canada may show all reviews if the business has an Information Only profile.

Having an account gives you the advantage of being always on top of your business as a business owner. You can request the deletion of a corrected customer review or ask for the deletion of a review that is not from your customer. As a business, you are not allowed to review your own business. You can ask for reviews from all your customers without worrying about what the review will say. Your advantage is that you are always on top of your business.

One of the problems with reviews is that a negative review often blindsides a business.  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 business owners to proactively ask for feedback from their customers and instantly become aware of issues that are 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 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 and years in business matters on our website.  We are looking for businesses that can clearly articulate that their credentials in the content management area are 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.

Some business categories are not part of the Site.  Our current category options are the same in every city and town.   See Saskatoon as an example. The Site is currently expanding. See other areas.

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