SSL is short for \u201cSecure Sockets Layer&#8221;. This is an encryption-based security protocol for your website that was first established in 1995. Basically, it encrypts the connection between your website, and your website visitors. Any data that customers enter on your website is encrypted by SSL, this is absolutely vital for online stores where people are entering payment information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your website doesn\u2019t have an SSL installed, it will be marked as \u201cNot Secure\u201d in web browsers like Google Chrome.

Research by BrightLocal discovered that <\/span><b>up to 98% of consumers read reviews before making a purchase<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"\/newangelosite\/#references\"> [2]<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your website should show reviews that meet the following requirements:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Recently published reviews, ideally less than 12 months old.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Use reviews from reputable platforms, like Google Reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Only show genuine reviews from your real customers. Showing any fake reviews may damage your brand\u2019s image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; For online stores, you should allow customers to upload reviews with images. Images of them using your product can help build social proof with potential customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside your reviews, you should include a button where people can click to view all of your reviews on the original platform. E.g. they can click to view all of your Google Reviews. This helps people verify that your website\u2019s reviews are real.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row blogpost_imgrow height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_middle type_default reversed stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:calc(3rem + 3rem);\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>3) Photos of your staff<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People buy from people. Having high quality photography of your staff will enhance your website and build trust with visitors. Seeing a friendly face puts people at ease, and lets them know who they\u2019ll be dealing with if they purchase your products or services. Many modern websites rely on fancy graphics and illustrations, with no real people or faces to be seen. This creates a \u201cfaceless\u201d feel on your website, and makes it lack identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With AI being shoved in everyone\u2019s faces, using real photography makes your business stand out and look authentic. Research by AdLib found that <strong>adverts with human faces perform better than those without<\/strong> <a href=\"\/newangelosite\/#references\">[3]<\/a>.

You should include a \u201ccontact us\u201d page, and also include contact details in your website header and footer. Showing accurate contact information builds trust, because people can see you\u2019re a real business and they can get in touch if they require support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many websites use AI chatbots for customer service, which can frustrate your website visitors and lead to bad reviews. Research from Five9 found that <\/span><b>75% of consumers prefer talking to actual humans for customer service<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"\/newangelosite\/#references\"> [4]<\/a>.

For example, care companies should show if they\u2019re CQC approved and gas engineers should show they\u2019re Gas Safe registered. All accreditations you show should be up to date and fully accurate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An article published by Venuez stated that<\/span><b> International Standards like ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 enhance brand trust and prestige <\/b><a href=\"\/newangelosite\/#references\">[5]<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Iconic graphics like the Nike tick flash into your mind when the name is mentioned. Linearity reported that <\/span><b>75% of customers recognize a brand by its logo alone <\/b><a href=\"\/newangelosite\/#references\">[6]<\/a>.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having your logo on your website builds trust and can help people recall positive memories of your business.

This suggests that the business hasn\u2019t updated their website in many years, and they may no longer be trading. Not updating your website can destroy trust and cause you to lose out on potential sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should regularly publish new content and articles on your website, along with seasonal offers throughout the year. Events like Christmas are the perfect time to promote special offers on your website, and boost your sales.

Having a good about us page is fantastic for building trust and making your business look authentic. When someone lands on your website for the first time, they often know nothing about your company.
