For listed businesses
The listing badge
If your business is listed, the badge is yours to use. Put it in your footer, on your about page, or anywhere a customer is deciding whether to trust you — it links straight back to your verified listing.
It costs nothing and there are no conditions attached: using it doesn't affect your listing, and not using it doesn't either. The image is served from this site, so if we ever redraw it, yours updates on its own.

</a>Paste it into your site's HTML where you want the badge to appear. If your site builder only takes an image, download the light or the dark SVG and link it to your listing by hand.
The rules, such as they are
- Use it only while you're listed. If your listing comes down, take the badge down too.
- Link it to your own listing or to the directory homepage — not to anywhere else, since the badge is a claim about a page a customer can go and check.
- Don't redraw it, recolour it, or add words to it. Scale it freely.
- The badge is an image on our server. It sets no cookies and records nothing about your visitors.
Anything else — a different size, a version for print, a wordmark without the bee — just ask.
