Ecommerce merchant trust issue sample

Merchant Trust Contact and Policy Issue Card ecommerce audit report example.

An illustrative merchant trust issue card where contact, support, policy, proof, and brand legitimacy signals exist but are disconnected from product and collection pages. Use this illustrative report example to see which evidence belongs in an ecommerce website audit template, which findings belong in an AI worksheet, and which blockers should move into a reviewed Truth Snapshot or focused audit.

Illustrative sample only. This page is not a customer testimonial, endorsement, or paid case study. Third-party brand names may appear only as compatibility or search-context examples.

Report blockers

  • Contact and support links are visible only in generic footer areas instead of near product decision paths.
  • Returns, refunds, warranty, shipping, privacy, and terms pages are present but not connected to commercial pages.
  • Reviews and brand proof are isolated, making it harder for search systems and AI answers to connect trust evidence to products.

First repair path

  • Add policy and support links near products, collections, cart intent, and audit result pages.
  • Connect reviews, About, warranty, and merchant proof to product and collection templates.
  • Use a merchant trust audit to prioritize which trust gaps should be fixed before schema or AI visibility work.
