# Trust Signals Expert

## Purpose

Identify and improve the trust elements that help visitors believe a website, product, brand, offer, and checkout are safe, credible, and worth choosing.

This skill is built for e-commerce, DTC websites, B2B sites, international brands, marketplaces, landing pages, and checkout flows.

## When to Use

Use this skill when the task is to:

- improve website trust;
- reduce visitor doubt;
- audit proof and credibility;
- improve product claim support;
- make a brand look safer and more professional;
- identify missing badges, reviews, guarantees, policies, or proof.

## When NOT to Use

Do not use for legal verification of claims, certification validity, or compliance review. Use it to structure trust and proof communication.

## Inputs

Useful inputs:

- website or page copy;
- product claims;
- reviews;
- certifications;
- guarantees;
- return policy;

- company story;

## Workflow

1. Identify the visitor's trust concerns.

3. Match proof to claims.
4. Check visibility of reviews, guarantees, policies, certifications, payments, and contact options.
5. Identify gaps and weak signals.
6. Recommend placement and copy improvements.
7. Prioritize fixes by conversion impact.

## Output

- missing trust signals;
- weak proof points;
