FIVE Ways To Build Trust On Your Website You Probably Didn’t Think Of

Building trust online isn’t just about having a secure server. It’s about something deeper – addressing those subconscious concerns that hold people back from clicking the “buy” button.

Sure, we all know the usual suspects that everyone recommends to boost website trust.

Let’s list them out so we can move into what really matters.

These elements are effective and proven, but they often focus on the superficial. Now, let’s dig into some out-of-the-box tactics that might just flip the script on how your visitors perceive trust instantly.

User-Generated Content (UGC)

Imagine visiting a website and seeing real folks sharing their experiences, not just the shiny, perfect representation of a product. Picture this: a customer-made video showing just how easy your tool is to use, or a blog post from an everyday user detailing their journey with your product. That’s authenticity in action. It’s peeling back the curtain to show your product in the wild. Encourage your customers to share their content. When they do that, it’s no longer just you tooting your own horn – it’s PROOF!

Behind-the-Scenes Content

Ever feel like you’re only seeing the highlight reel of a business? It’s time to show what’s happening behind closed doors. Share videos of your team brainstorming, or even pictures of that chaotic stack of papers on your desk that shows the creative process. Let visitors see the real you – the hours of brainstorming, the trial and error, the determination behind your business. When you show the process and those imperfect moments, you humanize your brand. This honesty can be disarming, making your audience feel like they’re not just buying a product but buying into a story.

Live Chat or Real-Time Support

Nowadays, with AI chat, this is more accessible than ever. Implementing a live chat feature means you’re there for your customers when they need you. No long waits or staring at a screen in silence. When a user has a question, that immediate interaction builds trust. It says, “We value your time.” Think of it like having a friendly shopkeeper at the ready – someone who’s happy to help, shout out answers, and solve problems any time of day. This kind of accessibility shows that you care about each visitor’s experience.

Expert Collaboration

Think about it: who do your customers already trust? If you can show them you work with recognized figures in your industry – through interviews, webinars, or podcast interviews – you’re not just adding credibility; you’re creating a bridge. “Oh, they work with so-and-so? They must be the real deal!” Whether it’s a podcast or a simple blog feature, this third-party validation reassures potential buyers that they’re making a smart choice by working with you.

Be Real. Be Authentic.

I think we can all agree that people crave authenticity. In an age where almost all our interactions (especially online) can feel artificial, being real and raw with your audience can set you galaxies apart from the competition, including AI.

They’re looking for a connection, for someone who “gets” them. When you lean into being genuine – sharing your own journey, your mistakes, and your wins – your audience will resonate with that.

Building trust is about more than just checking boxes on a list. It’s about connecting on a human level, addressing those subconscious concerns that many overlook. Your customers are waiting for you to show them the real side of your brand (and yourself) – and that connection might just be what transforms them from visitors into buyers.

Your message deserves more than surface-level fixes. Discover the tools that help you connect, convert, and actually earn your audience’s trust.
