According to Google, there are 4 criteria that you need to meet to increase your SEO, searchability, and how your potential customer can find you online.

2. Credible: ways to build your credibility online are to build relationships and share comments and articles on other credible websites/profiles and display your awards and logos (i.e. BBB or Angie’s List Accredited badges).
