I think we can all feel it now, the change that has happened in our region.

The net of safety has been filled with holes and rogue traders for far too long - however that has now all changed, especially in Devon & Cornwall.

Why? I hear you say .

Safety Changes That Have Taken Place

In recent times we've witnessed a new level of safety emerge from the Southwest of the UK. We all know who has implemented this - but today, we will look at why DC Trades has done this, and what happens next.

Finding tradesmen online is filled with risks for customers and let's face it, the internet is overloaded with cowboy builders and con men roofers.

DC Trades have now changed that for DEVON & CORNWALL homeowners by introducing a new vetting system which is 100% human run, and most likely the strictest vetting policy in the UK - backed with their new Schema Dirctory setup currently being deployed.

We have also seen a new authority rise with THE UNITED FEDERATION OF DEVON & CORNWALL BUSINESSES or UFDCB as they're known.

What is the Federation?

The Federation has quickly become the pillar of business ethics and business protection.

Members of the Federation enjoy advanced support with free business advice, online training, compliancy training, and as a Federation, they have the collective voice of Devon & Cornwall businesses.

This means they have the ability to stand up against unfairness or damaging rate rises — and greedy landlords increasing business premises rent unfairly.

How do you join the Federation? You will require confirmation that you have been vetted by DC Trades. That's right - the Federation will only accept DC Trades Verified businesses.

This new alliance is both welcomed, and desperately needed in the current crises of online mistrust.

How This Can Benefit Your Business

If your business is one of legitimacy and trust, apply to join both sites and start the DC Trades vetting process. Once approved, you will be listed on both DC Trades and the UFDCB platforms.

This gives you a powerful backlink from the two regional authorities.

We have more backlink tips that will be shared in our next blog (the definitive list of trusted backlinks), which we will publish next week.

We also look forward to sharing our Super SEO For Beginners Blog, which we will publish in the coming days also.

Thank you for reading, and we hope this has helped you on your journey to business success.
