What is the Professional Subscription?

Safe and Trusted Canada (the Site) offers a Professional Subscription plan for $599 plus GST, paid yearly.  Yearly subscriptions are automatically billed 60 days before the subscription expiration date.   

All yearly subscriptions paid monthly are based on the annual subscription amount divided by 12, with a $2.00 monthly transaction fee for a consecutive 12 months.  Monthly subscriptions paid yearly without discounts are $51.91 per month plus GST.  Our company accepts credit cards, Cheques, and Electronic Transfers as forms of payment.  There are no refunds, as we offer our Basic Subscription at no charge, allowing businesses to see our system in place before making a purchase.  See more information.

 There is a $100 discount per year for eligible applicants.   Promotional Discounts for the Professional Application.

A business may be charged as little as $499.00 per year, or $ 43.58 per month for 12 months.  Please note that monthly payments have an extra $2.00 per month to cover increased transaction costs.  

Businesses that meet our standards are eligible for a discount of $100.00 if they:
Operate in regions with a population under 1.5 million or link their business website to their Safe and Trusted Canada profile in areas with a population over 1.5 million people.

All subscription types require Business Credentials

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

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

What Happens On Approval?

Please note that all business credentials listed are searchable by consumers, and the business is responsible for ensuring their accuracy.

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.

The Professional 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

Please note that the Professional Subscription allows you to select up to 20 trade areas in your province with your subscription.  As a business owner, you can double your trade areas from 20 to 40 for $100.00.

The Professional Subscription offers the business owner the best possible presentation available.  The only businesses ahead of you are those that recognized the opportunity first.  Your only competition is the businesses that acted earlier.

Your Professional Subscription provides direct links to any part of your website, as well as direct links to your affiliations and anything else that tells the consumer why they should pick you.

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 company or contractor, they rely on the credentials listed 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.

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

Display of the business occurs above Information Only Profiles, Basic Subscriptions, Plus Subscriptions, Standard Subscriptions,  Advanced Subscriptions and any others who may have signed up for the Professional Subscription after your business in your region or categories.  The Professional Subscription is listed according to our Business Order of Display.

The Business Owner can measure every view of their profile.  The measured views are secured in the business content management pages and not displayed publicly. See More

You can bypass your competition by simply linking your profile on Safe and Trusted Canada. See the video.

This means that the user does not have to search for you as a business on the Safe and Trusted site, which could also mean that your customers won't see your competitors.    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 that corresponds to that affiliation. Place the full link next to the name of the affiliation. All affiliations automatically shorten if you have a professional, advanced or standard subscription.  This also works for your website, linking back to specific parts of it, using Links in Your Business Presentation.

One of our platform's benefits is that businesses can list their contact information, social media links, business credentials, and reviews across all their review sites. They can highlight what makes them different and even specific links to their website. They manage their reviews and send all their information to a potential client through a single link. This enables the business owner to provide their clients with a comprehensive view.

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.  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.  As a business owner, one of your advantages is that you are always on top of your business.

One problem with reviews is that a negative review often blindsides a business. Never be blindsided again. See the video.

One of the problems most businesses experience is not asking for reviews. They are concerned about negative reviews and are not proactive in seeking feedback.

The Safe and Trusted Review system enables business owners to proactively solicit customer feedback and instantly become aware of issues that may be unknown to them.

Use proactive reviews to identify issues quickly for the business owner. This will enable the business owner to mitigate issues swiftly and resolve customer problems before they escalate out of hand, resulting in negative reviews on websites or complaints to the Better Business Bureau.

Do you want to opt out of all Safe and Trusted Canada reviews? Your content management system will allow you to easily select this option.

Present Your Business Basics First. We call them credentials. See the video.

Safe and Trusted Canada is seeking businesses with an advertised name registered and meeting licensing requirements for their physical trade area, with years in business listed on our website. We are looking for companies that can articulate their credentials, increasing their credibility score with consumers.

In addition to the business credentials, if you are a contractor, the Site allows you to indicate in writing that you have liability insurance, workers' compensation, and warranties.    We are looking for businesses that can articulate their contractor credentials, increasing their overall credibility score with consumers. 

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.
