From the beginning, Daily Deal Media has gathered data and provided news about the industry. We have watched, witnessed, classified, and reported on an industry that has grown faster than any other in the history of capitalism.

Along the way, we saw trust and confidence become an issue as new daily deal sites popped up around the planet like mushrooms. There are now thousands of daily deal websites around the world, most with less than one year's operating history. Which ones are safe with your money?

The DDMVerified seal tells consumers which daily deal sites are safe, have a stable track history and deliver exemplary customer service.

With the overabundance of Daily Deal websites that have been launched and with many more launching daily, consumers are confused and frustrated and have a difficult time telling one site from another.

There are now thousands of daily deal sites around the world. Our database has over 3,000 websites that are online and yet hundreds of these sites are not yet operational and worse yet, hundreds more that may be operational but come with risk.

Daily Deal Media is the only company that provides independent, comprehensive ratings on Daily Deal websites.

DDMVerified takes it one step further. Our comprehensive evaluation process will focus on the customer experience of your daily deal website and combine that with our internal data to determine if your company qualifies for the DDMVerified endorsement seal.
