Add the Verification Badge

One of the best perks of being verified is the badge you can now display on your website. Here’s how you can add it:

1. Customize the Badge: The badge is available as a Canva template. This means you can tweak the colors to match your website’s aesthetic perfectly. A cohesive look helps maintain your brand’s visual identity.
2. Optimize for Speed: Here’s a little SEO tip—change the badge’s background to match your website’s background and save it as a JPEG. JPEG files are smaller in size compared to PNGs, which helps your website load faster.
3. Where to Place the Badge: The best spots to display your verification badge are on your About Page or in your website’s footer. These are prime locations where visitors can see your credibility without it being too intrusive.
4. Link Back: Don’t forget to link the badge back to your Creative Designer Profile. This not only drives traffic to your profile but also boosts your SEO.

Pro Tips for Using the Badge

To ensure you’re leveraging the badge to its fullest potential, consider these additional tips:

• SEO-Friendly Title: Use an SEO-friendly title for the badge, like “Creative-Designer-Directory-Badge.” This helps search engines understand the relevance of the badge to your site.
• Alt-Text Description: Always add an alt-text description for the badge image, such as “A black checkmark in a circle next to the text ‘Verified Designer’.” This improves accessibility and provides context for search engines.
