GetYourGuide makes a rigorous quality check for all suppliers on the website, including background checks of insurance documents and trade registers, reputation with local tourism boards and customers. As a result, companies that distribute their products through GetYourGuide have been screened carefully for excellence at delivering the services that they load and manage on the website.
This neutral quality screen is extremely relevant to gain consumer confidence and receive more bookings. Therefore, GetYourGuide has created a Badge that can be easily placed on your company’s personal website, so your customers are aware that you are a certified GetYourGuide supplier and feel confident to purchase your products.
The GetYourGuide Badge will link directly to your profile on GetYourGuide and thus increase the ranking of your profile in Google search results and will very positively impact on your ranking on GetYourGuide.
Due to popular request, we have added the feature to preview & print your own product vouchers that will look exactly like the voucher a customer would show you. We have also recently added the feature to preview new products that haven’t been approved by GetYourGuide yet. This way you can preview your products before they go online.
