Professionals within the digital marketing industry understand how essential their online tools are. They are the tools you need and have to work with to generate an audience for goods and services. Among social media platforms, email marketing, and other forms of engagement, the most important item you have is your company website.

The website is there to direct traffic for your audience so they can learn everything there is to know about the company, product or service. The website must not only be clean, attractive, and in perfect working condition, but it also must give off a sense of trust to your customers. Your potential buyers must know they can trust the business they want to purchase from. Otherwise, they will look to other companies for similar products.

It is the role of a digital marketer to handle the ins and outs of how the company’s site looks and operates as well as build trust for potential customers. Thankfully, there are a few easy ways this can be done and ultimately make your consumers feel very at ease and that your business is trustworthy. Let’s take a quick look at some of the tactics you can utilize to build trust for your website.

Putting a credibility bar on your site automatically builds trust and is an easy way to do so. Take this place to add anything your business has been able to accomplish, the business you have had the opportunity to work with, any clients you are currently working with, achievements, reviews, and any publications your company has been featured in. This is a great way to build up trust that is visible to your audience quickly.

Testimonial videos hold a lot of clout online for businesses because they are visual representations from past or current clients who have had success in working with your company or using your product. These videos should already be in a particular spot on the website, but take on to spotlight and put it right on the front page of the site, so your audience does not have to dig for these types of reviews and recommendations. Viewers and businesses love to see videos and hear this type of information right from someone’s mouth and will create a great deal of trust for potential clients.

Just a few simple tactics can automatically boost the trust of your website and create more traffic for future customers and businesses. Not all digital marketing tactics need to be in depth and time-consuming to build trust and an audience.

Justin, good advice as far as it goes. I've keynoted on Trust on three continents for over 10 years. Consistency within the web site is important but consistency across social media and all other communications is critical to the perception which over time becomes your brand. Brand is directly linked to trust. Every company. Every time. And so it goes.
