With the countless products and services on the market, there are naturally big differences among providers of customer reviews. Especially when you shop online, you want to be able to trust the provider, as there is always a certain risk online. In this article, we examine the experiences and differences between the two market leaders, Trusted Shops and ProvenExpert.
Comparison and Explanation of Trusted Shops & Proven Expert Seals for Reviews, Surveys – Products, Shops & Services of all Kinds
*To create more transparency and security in online retail, Trusted Shops was founded in 1999. So that you can shop safely online,Trusted Shops offers secure standards and certifications. Online retailers with a Trusted Shop Seal are characterized by seriousness, data protection, and delivery reliability. The Trusted Shop Seal is used in the areas of marketing, law, and technology. Customers can find out about the respective Trusted E-Shops and their Trusted Shops rating study. This increases the trust of the retailers and allows them to offer customers another great advantage. Trusted Shops offers customers a money-back guarantee in accordance with legal provisions, which is always well received by customers.
Through the Trusted Shops Buyer Protection, there is no risk for customers, but retailers are also advised on legal issues or in the creation of legal texts. Furthermore, search engine optimization and search engine integration are offered for retailers.
The rating system for online shops now includes over 20,000 certified retailers in Europe, which makes Trusted Shops* the clear market leader in this area. Trusted Shops is a business partner of EMOTA (European E-Commerce and Mail Order Trade Association) and is active in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Great Britain, Poland, and the USA, offering its services in over eight languages.
