Restoring Real Trust in a Digital World

I’m a mother, and for over 15 years I worked as a wellness expert and small business owner. Reffyy was born out of what I needed — both as a mom trying to make safe, informed choices for my family, and as a professional trying to be seen without getting buried in the noise of the internet.

When Trust Used to Mean Something

I was raised by a small business owner in the 1980s — back when trust was built face-to-face, not filtered through algorithms or paywalls. There were no fake reviews, no lead fees, and no competing with bots — just genuine reputation and real word-of-mouth. Today, everything’s more complicated.

As a mother, I found myself spending hours searching for reliable information online — sorting through fake influencers, paid posts, and advice that often wasn’t even real.

As a wellness expert, I was frustrated with platforms that charged high fees for “leads” that often weren’t qualified or even serious. At the same time, building visibility on social media demanded endless posts, complicated strategies, and more time than most small business owners have.

And traditional review sites? They started to feel like pyramid schemes. If you didn’t keep paying, your best reviews disappeared. If you got a bad review from someone you’d never even worked with, it was nearly impossible to challenge it.

Restoring Real Reputation

So I built Reffyy — because we all deserve better.

Consumers deserve to know who and what they can trust.

Experts deserve to be seen for their knowledge, not their marketing budgets.

And small businesses deserve visibility that can’t be bought or faked. Reffyy connects people through verified trust — restoring that old-school honesty of reputation and word-of-mouth, with the reach and intelligence of modern technology.
