In today's marketplace, consumers rely on the BBB for information regarding businesses they can trust. In 2010, consumers reviewed the 4 million BBB Business Reviews on local and national businesses more than 87 million times.
The companies appearing in this guide are amongst an elite group of business leaders who, as BBB Accredited Businesses, have made a commitment to uphold BBB Code of Business Practices. Our BBB Business Review on these firms is a testament to their track record for treating customers with respect.
With our new NY BBB Buyer's Guide, we are proud to offer consumers a resource to locate businesses that meet the BBB Standards for Trust. We have developed this resource in response to consumers’ demand for more dynamic online content that’s easy to access and understand. It includes maps and directions, details on products and services offered by each participating BBB Accredited Business, and links to each firm’s website and BBB Business Review. We encourage you to share this guide with your colleagues, and provide us with your feedback.
For current BBB Accredited Businesses: In the coming weeks, we will continue to offer you updates regarding several programs to help your business stand out from the competition online. They include the following:
- - BBB Business Review - Unveiled on June 1, this new format is designed to attract more viewers, engage them longer and to enhance your visibility on the web.
