Confidence to Click

Trust is essential for all Web sites, not just e-commerce. Your Web site helps potential customers choose you over your competitors, and the VeriSign Trust™ Seal shows them that your organisation and Web site have been verified by VeriSign, the most recognised and trusted security brand on the Internet.

In search results, make it easy for visitors to choose your link over your competitor's. The seal-in-search* plug-in detects VeriSign Trust Seal and displays it next to your link in search results. The VeriSign Trust Seal shows the world that your site has been verified by VeriSign. Learn more: VeriSign Trust Seal FAQ.

10 times as many consumers feel trust is more important than cost when doing business online (VeriSign Brand Tracking Research, 2009). Yet, it can be tough to prove your identity online when you are a small local business and not a household name. A small investment in a VeriSign seal enhances the professionalism and sense of safety of your Web site, because only a VeriSign seal is backed by the most trusted security brand on the Internet (VeriSign Brand Tracking Research, 2009).

Growing concerns about fake sites, viruses and identity theft have made consumers reluctant to click links on Web sites they don't know. As a result, small businesses struggle to generate the confidence to buy, click, and sign in online. The VeriSign Trust Seal shows site visitors that VeriSign has confirmed your identity and your site has passed the VeriSign malware scan, so they can safely proceed. Learn more: Trust Seal FAQ

Malware is a general term for malicious software that hackers install on your site to spread viruses, hijack your computer or steal sensitive data such as credit card numbers or other personal information. Malware is not visible or easily detected, but can wreak havoc on your reputation and may infect your customers' computer just by browsing your Web site. VeriSign Trust Seal includes a daily malware scan to detect malware and alert you to respond quickly to the attack. Learn more: Malware FAQ.
