Get Certified! – The Customer Certified Medal

Becoming BizRate Customer Certified is one of the most important things a company can do. Posting the Customer Certified Medal on every page throughout your site shows customers that you value their feedback. It also provides a quick snapshot of your recent performance for both your review and your customers, as it is updated daily with your new overall score. In addition to the medal you can post on your site, a ribbon will appear next to your store name in the BizRate and Shopzilla Report Card pages.

Getting started on the road to certification is easy – post the BizRate Survey Code! You can download and post the BizRate Survey and BizRate Customer Certified Medal codes at the same time. Go to the Shopzilla Merchant Services Website and login with your username and password; the codes are located under the Customer Feedback & Ratings tab. The Customer Certified Medal will be blank until you begin to collect surveys and then it will dynamically appear with the words “rate this store”. Once you become Customer Certified by meeting these qualifications, your medal will dynamically generate with the smiley scale face for your overall score.  The requirements to become Customer Certified are listed below:

1. Receive at least 20 Fulfillment (FF) surveys related to POS surveys from the past 90 days
2. Maintain scores of at least 6.0 on the following 5 ratings metrics:
*Overall rating
*Would shop here again
*On-time delivery
*Customer support
*Product met expectations

The medal looks like this:

The BizRate Customer Certified medal is unique because it isn’t awarded or granted by BizRate, but rather by your customers based on their feedback. The medal is a great tool because it allows you to show off not only your scores, but also your customer feedback. More than just an image on your site, this medal is actually a link to the BizRate Report Card Page, allowing your customers to quickly see feedback from others, or leave their own, with just 1 click.

    We use to be certified a few years back but have since moved to a new software and paused our surveys. This process has lost all our survey results and eventhough greatbabyproducts.com had many surveys will high ratings and excellent feedback we no longer see those results posted on the bizrate site. We are currently working on getting greatbabyproducts.com listed again as we are still receiving excellent ratings from bizrate surveys. Thnak you for doing a wonderful job!
