Website badges & verification

InspectorFind website badges are more than marketing ornaments for many inspectors — they are part of how we verify that your public presence genuinely connects to your InspectorFind listing.

Why badges matter for verification

When you embed our official snippet on a domain you control, it creates:

• A visible trust signal for buyers (“verified by InspectorFind.com.au”).
• A machine-readable relationship between your website and your profile (structured data ships inside the badge iframe — see your dashboard notes).
• Evidence that you stand behind your InspectorFind reputation in public, not only behind a login screen.

That combination supports honest directories and aligns with how modern search systems evaluate entity relationships.

Which badge counts toward verification?

For the verification pathway described in How verification works, we look for the verified branding path — specifically the embed that presents InspectorFind verification / Verified by InspectorFind.com.au (not only the generic ratings widget, unless your reviewer confirms otherwise).

Exact naming in the dashboard may evolve; choose the tab labelled Verification or equivalent when copying code.

Placement guidelines:

• Prefer above the fold sections buyers trust: alongside About, Book / Quote, Pricing, or Contact — not hidden in a footer-only row no one scrolls to.
• One clear placement is enough; multiple placements are welcome if they feel natural.

How to install (inspectors)

Sign in → open Business → Website Badges (/business/website-badges). Use the Verification Badge tab for the snippet reviewers expect for verification; Ratings Badge is optional social proof that surfaces your InspectorFind score.

Then:

1. Copy the verification badge embed snippet from the Verification tab.
2. Paste into your CMS (WordPress HTML block, Squarespace code embed, Shopify custom liquid section, etc.).
3. Publish and verify in a private browser window that the iframe loads without being stripped by ad blockers or sanitizers.

If your host aggressively strips <script> tags, ask us via Contact us — we maintain lightweight iframe-only patterns where possible.

Ratings badge vs verified badge

• Ratings badge — surfaces review scores from InspectorFind; great for conversion.
• Verified badge — communicates InspectorFind verification status and satisfies the website linkage expectation described in our verification guide.

Serious applicants typically publish both once verified.

Badges prove relationship + reputation, not inspection quality by themselves — always read sample reports and ask inspectors how they scope each property type.
