Entrepreneurs know that word of mouth is the best advertisement there is. Whether that’s happening offline or online. In fact, in the online world, 75% of all consumers look at reviews before they buy a product. And 25% of those that do buy is because of those reviews. That’s the power of social proof. Need help with that? Here’s how you can get started today.
With TrustProfile, we’ve made the process of sending and filling in reviews effortless. Our integrations allow you to invite your customers automatically for leaving a review. As for your customers, they get an email where they’re asked to fill in a review. But all the information will be prefilled except for the star rating and an optional sentence or two. Easy, right? We have a complete review system for an affordable price.
Got plenty of reviews on other platforms, such as Verified Reviews, TrustedShops, Google, Ekomi and many more? Great! We’ll add them all in one spot. With TrustProfile, you’ll have one platform that shows your total rating and all the reviews you’ve received from your customers. Plus, your online store will have subtle signs that are easy to spot. These signs, such as your star rating on Google, will help you increase trust in your business.
Trust badges are signs on your online store that are easy to spot and instantly show potential customers that your e-commerce business is indeed trustworthy. Below, you can read about each trust badge more. Will your online store earn them all?

That’s what this badge is all about.

Identity verified
Afraid of fake online stores that’ll scam them, consumers turn to well-known stores like eBay. To avoid that, present relevant information that will make them stay. Think of your company’s name, Chamber of Commerce number, address, telephone number, and email address. In many countries, stating this information is mandatory. Having this badge will help you.

Mediation available
Good customer service is crucial nowadays. Especially if something goes wrong at some point. Having a formal complaints process will help you in handling those complaints properly.
Let customers know what they need to do if something goes wrong. Put that information clearly on your website. An example is that they can first contact you. Let them also know that in case you can’t agree on a solution, there’s an external party that can mediate. That’s what you can guarantee and communicate with this badge.
