Selected With Trust is an EU-native platform that connects consumers with verified local businesses, service providers, and employers. This guide walks you through creating your account, setting up your profile, and collecting your first reviews.
1. Create your account
Visit selectedwithtrust.com and click “Get started”. Enter your email address and choose a password. You will receive a confirmation email — click the link inside to activate your account.
2. Complete your business profile
After confirming your email you are taken directly to the profile form. Fill in:
- Business name and primary category
- Address and service area (city or region)
- Phone number, website URL, and contact email
- Opening hours
- A short description of your services (up to 500 characters)
- Up to 3 photos on the Free tier — more on paid plans
3. Get verified
Verified profiles display a “Verified Business” badge and rank higher in local search. Verification links your profile to your registered business entity (KVK, Handelsregister, SIRET, or equivalent). You will be guided through the verification flow from your dashboard after registration.
4. Collect your first reviews
Share your unique review link with customers after a completed job or purchase. Reviews on Selected With Trust are transaction-verified — only real customers can submit a review, protecting your rating from fake feedback.
Common ways to share your review link:
- Send it by email or WhatsApp after completing a job
- Print a QR code on your invoice or business card
- Embed the trust badge on your own website (see the Trust Badge guide)
