In a validation-driven world, Verily helps build the digital reputation of influencers and ordinary users, ensuring that the people they interact with are trustworthy. Dubbed the “Trustpilot for People,” this application will empower individuals to show the world that they are reliable and reputable.
Trust has become a significant issue in the digital age, especially with rapid population growth. Employers trying to hire new employees have no idea what type of person they’re getting unless they conduct a potentially extensive criminal background check. Reaching out to references can also be problematic. Online dating consists of thousands of profiles of people who may or may not be who they claim they are. Roles such as that of social media influencers are challenging to get into as followers want to make sure they can trust the person recommending products from brand deals, offering life suggestions, and even food ideas.
Establishing an online reputation has been difficult for many, and current tools have yet to prove the type of person people claim to be.
Verily solves the issue of proving who people claim to be. This 100% voluntary program lets visitors sign up, and real people provide reputational feedback to build a trustworthy digital reputation.
The controversy behind digital reputation platforms
Platforms have existed for a long time to rate businesses. Websites like Trustpilot, Yelp, Google, and Amazon allow the rating of companies and products to know whether or not they are trustworthy, including products and services.
But Verily focuses on the individual. The app combines elements of a social media platform and a digital reputation and reviewing service. In the past, digital reputation platforms have caused controversy and fear. What if the people rating an individual give false information out of spite or cyberbullying? What if that incorrect information impacts the individual significantly and makes it more difficult to find a job, get a date, or obtain a brand deal?
Verily is aware of these concerns, and they are actively combatting this issue with a unique vetting process designed to empower users to control who can leave ratings and reviews. Their method, almost like a “friends list,” prevents the phenomenon explained above by allowing only accounts approved by the individual to provide these ratings. Verily also ensures that only verified accounts have a tangible effect on each person’s score. While unverified accounts can provide ratings, they do not impact the score. Once an individual verifies themselves, their ratings will affect other users. Illegitimate reviews by bots and spam accounts will, therefore, have a negligible effect on users.
Verily also allows users to dispute reviews, allowing them to be looked at and removed by the Verily team if they have information that violates the terms of service. Verily also maintains the importance of free speech, thoroughly investigating each flagged review to determine if it violates the platform’s policies. As not all interactions are positive, the team also maintains the importance of allowing all customers and followers to discuss their experiences without fear of repercussions.
What makes Verily different, and who they can help
Verily understands that a positive or negative digital reputation can entirely transform people’s daily lives. This platform is the first to target individual people and learn from disastrous attempts at tackling the same issue. Filling the critical gap in the market allows individuals to access aggregated digital reputation indicators. These indicators prove an individual’s character and reputation to potential employers, personal relationships, and business partners. Such validation can help individuals stand out on a candidate list or increase their chances of getting a response on an online dating platform. It may even get them a business deal they were looking for, as potential clients can see how trustworthy they are. These are just a few examples of its incredible positive impact on someone’s life.
The Future with Verily
Digital reputation and online rating platforms often face controversy, but Verily offers an entirely new approach that empowers individuals and gives them a boost in life. The app’s creators designed it to address a massive market gap and ensure fairness and transparency for everyone.
