The earned badge

If your company is on a Best Kansas City list, you may show it. The badge is free, there is no form, and it cannot be bought: it links to your public record, so visitors can see exactly what it rests on.

Listed

For any of the 171 companies with a record page, ranked or not.

Top 10

For companies ranked 1–10 on a metro list in the current edition.

How to use it

1. Find your record: open your trade's list and click your company name. Copy the page address (it ends in your company slug).
2. Paste the matching snippet below into your site, replacing TRADE and YOUR-SLUG with the parts of that address.
3. Leave the link in place. A badge that does not link to its record is not an earned badge, and we may ask for it to be fixed or removed.

Rules

• The Top 10 badge is for the current edition. If a later edition moves you out of the top ten, switch to the Listed badge.
• Do not alter the badge artwork or the alt text to imply an award, certification or inspection. It states a fact: your company is on a dated, public list.
• Using the badge does not affect your rank in any direction, now or later.
