"I feel [being recognized on TrustedChoice.com] is important because it puts us at that level where we stand out."

“Our traffic has increased… we’ve started taking some advice from the folks at TrustedChoice[.com]… adding video and doing other things as well, so in the last 4 years our traffic definitely, it’s probably tripled.”
