Google trusts a secure site. So do your customers.
Trust Shield audits your website the same way we audit your rankings — SSL, security headers, email authentication, GDPR compliance, malware and more. A plain-English grade and fix list, not a report only a developer can read.
An insecure website loses customers quietly.
No complaint, no support ticket — just visitors who leave, emails that never arrive, and rankings that slip a little further every month.
Browsers warn people before they even reach you
Chrome and Safari flag "Not Secure" sites right in the address bar. Most visitors bounce before your page has even loaded — a loss you'll never see in your analytics.
Your rankings quietly slip
HTTPS and site trust signals are baked into how Google evaluates a page. A vulnerable or unsecured site is simply easier for a competitor to outrank.
Your own emails get marked as spam
Without SPF, DKIM and DMARC, the review requests and booking confirmations you send can land in spam — or be spoofed by scammers pretending to be you.
One hack can remove you from search entirely
A hacked or blacklisted site can be delisted or flagged by Google overnight — erasing months of ranking work in a single day.
7 layers, checked automatically.
The same checks security professionals run manually — scheduled, monitored, and explained in plain English.
SSL / HTTPS & certificate health
Certificate validity, chain of trust, TLS version and cipher strength — the baseline every browser checks for "Secure."
Security headers
CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options and more — scored the same way tools like Mozilla Observatory grade them.
DNS email authentication
SPF, DKIM and DMARC — stops scammers spoofing your domain, and keeps your real emails out of spam.
GDPR & cookie compliance
Cookie banners, privacy policy and data-handling basics your UK and EU customers expect before they trust you.
Malware & blacklist scanning
Continuous checks against Google Safe Browsing and major blacklists, so an infection is caught before customers see it.
Outdated CMS & plugin vulnerabilities
WordPress, Shopify and page-builder plugins are the #1 way small business sites get hacked. We flag what's out of date.
Open ports & exposed admin panels
We check what the outside world can actually see and reach on your server or hosting account.
Built into your audit. No extra steps.
Trust Shield runs alongside your local SEO audit — there's nothing new to install or configure.
We scan automatically
Trust Shield runs the first time we audit your local SEO — no extra setup, no code to add, no separate sign-up.
You get a plain-English grade
An A–F grade and a prioritized fix list, in the same format as your local visibility score — no jargon required.
We fix what we can, you approve the rest
Straightforward fixes — headers, redirects, DNS records — go out automatically. Anything bigger comes to you as a one-click approval.
Show customers you're verified secure.
Sites with an A or A+ Trust Shield grade can embed a live badge on their site or footer — it always shows your current grade.
One embed. The badge updates itself whenever your grade changes — nothing to maintain.
Add it in one line
Paste this into your site's footer or trust page. No account needed for visitors to verify it — it links straight to your live report.
