Add the Featured in badge

If a restaurant, bar, coffee shop, or spot of yours appears in one of our guides, you earned a real editorial pick, and you are welcome to say so. The badge links back to the exact guide you are in, so a visitor who clicks it lands on the page that recommended you.

Add it to your homepage, your about page, your press section, anywhere a vote of confidence helps. It takes one paste of HTML.

The badge is a gift, not a trade. You do not have to subscribe, create an account, pay, or click anything to “accept” it. A pick is a pick because we think you are worth your customers’ time, and the badge just says so out loud.

We will never put a spot in a guide in exchange for a badge install, and we will never make the badge contingent on a signup. How we choose, and how we keep editorial separate from sponsorship, is spelled out on our standards page.

Pick the guide you are featured in, then copy the snippet and paste it into your site’s HTML where you want the badge to appear. It is a single link wrapping the badge image, so it works anywhere you can add HTML.

The link uses rel=“ugc” and a plain brand-name label, by design. That keeps the badge honest: it is a credibility marker and a link to the guide, not an attempt to game anyone’s search rankings. Treat it as a friendly nod between you and your customers.
