The trust gap
Are you externally validated?
What pet owners say about you to other pet owners matters more than anything you say about yourself. Your credentials confirm you are qualified. Your reviews are what make someone choose you. At eleven at night a worried owner is comparing three clinics on a phone, and volume, recency and the specific stories being told decide it. This is where owners with genuinely excellent reputations still lose, because forty reviews from 2019 read as quieter than four hundred from this year.
