Using TrustBuilder on your website

BDX is pleased to offer syndication services for TrustBuilder Ratings and Reviews. Through syndication, builders, can publish their ratings and/or reviews on their own web sites.

Full syndication guide available with detailed information.

Talk to your account manager or email support@thebdx.com.

• Builders can show that they participate in the TrustBuilder program, an independent, credible, trustworthy service, and can leverage good ratings and reviews for marketing purposes. In addition, the use of dynamic, user-generated content can significantly boost search engine results for
builder web sites.
• There is no charge from BDX for builders to use the syndication services; they are included with participation in the TrustBuilder program.

There are three ways to get syndication data from BDX for this purpose:

• A trust mark graphic that can be used to show that the builder participates in TrustBuilder. This graphic includes the builder’s rating and number of reviews. Even though the graphic is automatically updated when the builder gets new reviews, it’s very easy to add to web pages.
• A web API that enables builders to access all of the data for their ratings & reviews (in fact, this is the same API that BDX uses to drive the TrustBuilder pages and links on NewHomeSource.com). Using this API, builders can create their own ratings & reviews pages.
• A report (in CSV format) that also contains all of the data for their ratings & reviews. This report can be downloaded from BDX Live.
