How 585area Badges Work

The Badges and Who Holds Them

The Rules

• Years count from the founding year the business gives on its own website or business profile, like since 1956. That year shows on the listing.
• When the year belongs to something else, like one person's career or a single program, we do not count it.
• We do not give badges for star ratings. 585area does not show ratings or review counts, so we do not grade on them.
• Nobody can buy a badge, and owners cannot pay to move up.
• Each award badge carries the year it was given. If the facts on a listing change, its badges change with them.

Show Your Badge

Open your listing and find the Get Your Badge box near the bottom. Pick a badge, copy the code and paste it into your website. The badge links back to your listing as a nofollow link. If you want a followed link, tick that box before you copy. Each badge has its own check page, so a customer can see why it was given.

Is Your Founding Year Missing?

If we show no year, or the wrong one, send the right year through the claim form. We check it against your website before anything changes.
