The top provider badge recognizes providers who are among the 20 best-ranked in a Feedbax directory. The “Top provider badges” page shows you your badge for each directory with embed code and download. If you do not have a badge yet, it explains what is missing.
At a glance
Where: in the dashboard under Marketing > Top provider badges.
Subscription: The page has no subscription lock. The badge depends on your ranking.
One badge per directory: You can have several at the same time, each with its own code.
Unlocking: places 1 to 20 when sorted by Feedbax score, plus several basic conditions.
Market: The market of the language your dashboard is currently set to is what counts.
How it works
The badge is awarded per directory. It is unlocked as soon as your profile is in places 1 to 20 of a directory when sorted by Feedbax score. The ranking the page reads from is recalculated every night. So a change to your profile usually only takes effect the next day.
The basic conditions
Your profile only enters the scoring of a directory if the following applies:
Your profile is published.
You have added a website.
You have more than 5 reviews, so at least 6. Your Feedbax reviews and the reviews from the connected platforms count. From Business, Trustpilot and ProvenExpert count too, from Premium also Sortlist, Clutch, GoodFirms, DesignRush and G2.
At least 10% of your offering falls on a service or focus area of the directory.
You have at least one case study that matches that service or focus area.
Only then do you enter the scoring. There, all qualified providers are sorted by their Feedbax score in this directory, and the first 20 get the badge. So a very good score alone is not enough.
The market depends on the language
The ranking of your market is what counts. On the German and English side, that is the shared ranking. On the Dutch, French and Spanish side, the ranking of the respective country counts. For that, your profile needs a location in that country. The page only shows you the badges of the market that belongs to the chosen dashboard language. If you want to see badges of another market, change the dashboard language.
If you have badges
Then you see two settings at the top and below them one card per unlocked badge.
Language: English, Deutsch, Nederlands, Français or Español. The language determines the badge image, code and download. The preset is the dashboard language.
Smaller size: A switch. It changes code and preview to the small size.
Each card shows the badge image, the Category (the name of the directory) and the Rank, that is, your place in this directory. There are also two options:
Copy code: copies the embed code. Below it is the code itself, with the note to put it in the BODY of your website, where the badge should appear.
Download badge: the button with the arrow. It downloads the badge as an image file in the chosen language. Next to it is the question “Just need the image file without the HTML code?”.
The code contains the directory information and ties the badge to exactly this category. So take the code from the card of the directory you want to show.
Embedding a badge
In the dashboard, open Marketing > Top provider badges.
Choose the “Language” and, if needed, “Smaller size”.
Find the card of the directory you want.
Click “Copy code”.
Paste the code into the BODY of your website, where the badge should appear.
The badge also appears in your Feedbax profile in the area “Feedbax awards”.
If you do not have a badge yet
Then the page shows an explanation area instead of the cards. It consists of these parts:
Status: “Top provider badge not unlocked” with the rule that your profile must be among the top 20 in the respective directory when sorted by Feedbax score.
Preview: the badge image in its real colours with the label “Preview” and the title “This is what your badge will look like once you have unlocked it”.
What is the top provider badge? and Where it appears and what it brings: two short explanations.
How to unlock it: the rule, the note on the market and the list of basic conditions.
What raises your Feedbax Score: the levers that get you up in the directory, for example matching case studies and recent reviews.
What you can do now: cards that lead to the matching pages: Ranking, Market leaders, Portfolio, Services, Company details and Request reviews.
More in the Help Center: Two cards, “How does ranking in the directories work?” and “How does the market leaders matrix work?”. A click opens the article in the help area of the dashboard, you do not leave the page.
Effect on the Feedbax score
The badge gives no score points. It is the result of a good score. The embed code does count as a Feedbax widget, though: if it is loaded in the last 10 days, you get the widget bonus of 100 points on the Reputation score. Downloading the image file does not count for this. How the score comes about is explained in How does the ranking in directories work?.
Frequently asked questions
Is being in the top 20 enough?
No. The top 20 is the last step. Before that, publication, website, more than 5 reviews, a 10% share and a matching case study must be in place.
Why is the badge unlocked in one directory and not in another?
Every condition is checked per directory. Share, matching case study and score differ from directory to directory.
Why don’t I see any badges although I have one?
The page only shows the badges of the market of the chosen dashboard language. If you have a badge in the Dutch, French or Spanish ranking, change the dashboard language to match.
By which sorting is the place determined?
By the Feedbax score in the directory, among the providers who meet all basic conditions. On the Ranking page, by contrast, all published providers are listed, and “Verified first” is preset there. Set “Feedbax score” there to get closer to the badge place.
How quickly does a new badge appear?
The ranking is recalculated every night. So an improvement usually takes effect the next day.
Can I show several badges at the same time?
Yes. Each badge stands for one directory and has its own code.
Where do I get just the image?
Through the button “Download badge” on the card.
