"poor company, especially support agent named J e y d a Regan or as I believe of today I've been told she's actually the customer operations manager, she was really rude, wasn't helping in my situation at all, was on the phone for like 45 mins with her regarding an investor that I missed an call on to the point she decided to hang up on me because of her meeting and she didn't bother to transfer me to another agent and did pretty much nothing about it but give me another number she wasn't aware if it was working or not. poor service, so beware of the name if you do speak to her, thanks."

"It can be hard to find the right financial adviser, particularly as a small business owner. This site's a bit like a Checkatrade for financial advisers - it includes helpful reviews and checks."

"Shambes of a company Me as an accountant that’s been used as a referral from this company services - this company structure is a money get rich quick scheme, I get charged each time as the picture included says, as they are a third party services for only referring each client which is not guaranteed with no checks in what initially what the customer is needed, I will advise other accountants who is thinking to opt to join here, beware of the trap, once the fees mount up of each client’s fees you will have to obliterate to and lack of success, you be wasting your time and money - look elsewhere and they don’t seem to listen when you advised them of any suggestions."

"Since around 2017 Vouchedfor has been a crucial part of my business strategy and income – the return on spend is fantastic for me. You do however need to be a holistic adviser to make this really happen. So, if the client approaches for a certain need, dig deeper for other possible needs, then one by one, address them all. Then before long, for you say £145 lead, you may well have brought in many of thousands of pound. It is the most effective place for clients to do their due diligence, when combined with eg googling you, looking at your website, LinkedIn, plus looking the you up on the FCA website. They are a properly regulated and monitored tool (like check a trade or trip adviser). Regular checks are carried out and reviews are genuine, so would be clients can really rely on and trust the information and reviews. I find the Vouchedfor site particularly good, as I can express and differentiate myself (via my profile) as a down to earth, human adviser and the clients that like that, then gravitate towards me – in some cases, they’ve been looking at my profile for months before approaching me. The top rated adviser and top firm status, including being in the guide distributed in publications such as the Times, are the icing on the cake. The site not only allows the would be client to get a flavour of the adviser (including trawling through reviews for consistency), but it now also shows when the adviser has been a consecutive winner over numerous years. At first (as with many new things), I found I was putting significant effort into Vouchefor, but after getting a significant number of reviews, the pendulum swung, and since then, Vouchedfor has basically been working for me, giving a good volume of solid leads, which has led to / does lead to really good fees and like-minded clients. You do still need to keep on top of leads that come, following up quickly, then eg e mailing them say a pdf of your reviews, then following up in a timely manner with quality information, after your initial consultation meeting. Don’t expect a high volume of leads and be prepared for some to be not quite up your street, including the odd few that might not be relevant. But, at least you’re getting the traffic and come up high in google searches and rankings. I view the site as much as a reputational tool as I do a lead generation tool – if you view it mainly as the latter, you’re missing a trick! I simply could not do without Vouchedfor and for those advisers who seek to criticise it, I’d say first of all ‘look in the mirror and see if you’re actually showcasing yourself in the best way…do you stand out from other advisers and have you really thought about your profile wording and how it tells your story and your personality (or have you just made it boring jargon)? Have you got a decent number of positive reviews? If not, then don’t yet expect the earth…be patient and before long you’ll get the inertia and have great tools to show yourself off in the best light’. Thank you Vouchedfor for your continued help, to me as an adviser, for so many of pour advisers, and also on behalf of our Practice! We’re really proud of our achievements and really want to shout them from the rooftops, and Vouchedfor is the perfect medium for that!"

"Vouched For has been amazing for my business. I went onto Vouched For quite a few years ago now and I have had lots of great clients come from it. Vouched For is the perfect place to showcase what you do, by regularly asking clients to review your services to show that you are great. They come up at the top of Google searches when people want to find an adviser and therefore you need to be on there. Once a year you can qualify to be a Top Rated Adviser and last year I took on some wonderful clients who found me in The Times Top Rated Adviser Guide with Vouched For. The important things to do to make sure that Vouched For works for you is to write your profile well, have lots of great client reviews that are kept up to date and then have a website that clients can go and find that supports what you said in your profile. Vouched For is a great place for clients to find me and I love it."
