How to Install The Agency Vista Badge & The Best Placements For It On Your Site

Advertising in the United States is a multi-billion dollar industry. But, I’m sure we can all agree that the digital agency landscape is a very saturated market right now. Agency Vista ensures all agencies’ experience and success are stamped with a seal of trust and confirmation through verification. Whether you’ve already become a verified agency or you’re considering starting the process — this article will cover everything you need to know on how to install the Agency Vista badge and the best placements for it on your site.

What Is The Agency Vista Verified Badge?

An Agency Vista verified badge celebrates businesses with the highest brand integrity and client satisfaction based on your profile information. Our data-driven marketing agency ecosystem utilizes key details in a profile to put your business in front of your ideal clients throughout our network. 

Part of our validation process requires our marketing agency members to connect their social media accounts, onboard and verify clients, and invite team members. Once an agency has been verified, they will receive access to the badge on their account.

As you can see, your account dashboard will let you know how far along you are before completing your profile and gaining access to the well-accredited verified badge.

How Can I Qualify For The Agency Vista Badge?

To qualify for the Agency Vista badge, you can create a free profile in our network, although you must have a Facebook or LinkedIn business page to sign up as an agency or marketing tool. 

Agency Vista has three types of verified badges:

• a marketing agency verified badge
• a marketing tool verified badge
• a marketing expert verified badge

Once you have completed the registration process, your account dashboard will provide you with how to complete your profile and earn the verified badge. We’ll need to verify the details of your business, team size, and client information. 

Client verification can be done through a confirmation email sent by Agency Vista to the client you have added or by connecting their social media accounts to your profile. You can learn more about our client verification here. 

Our verification process requires agencies to provide detailed information on their business to help guide us in ranking and recommending the top agencies – providing businesses with a trusted resource when selecting a partner. Agency Vista verified badges cannot be purchased and rely solely on factors that impact the quality of service and how recommendable an agency is.

How To Install And Edit Agency Vista’s Badge To Your Site

Once you have successfully completed your profile and verified your agency information — a button will appear allowing you to install the badge. There are two methods to installing the badge; you can manually add the badge code to your website or email the instructions to a developer.

If you choose to manually install the badge and find that badge size doesn’t fit your site, you can easily adjust through editing the code. Simply add on ‘width=”150px”>’ to the end of the code and find the right size for your badge placement. Agency Vista is also happy to provide assistance with this editing your badge size; just send a quick message to our chat, and we’ll quickly get this resolved.

The Best Placements For The Verified Badge 

An awards section on your website can be a great place to show customers your latest achievements, as well as build trust and credibility in your brand. According to a study by Reboot Online, “linking out to authoritative sites appropriately and in the correct context, may actually help rank your blog or website higher in Google search results.”

Including a link to your Agency Vista profile on the badge allows visitors to better understand the significance behind each award won.

Adding your verified badge to your site has the following advantages: 

• Improves search rankings
• Increases brand awareness
• Improves business positioning
• Establishes trust and credibility
