Embedding a PipCircle badge
Copy the code from the company’s Badges & widgets area - it already contains the right company address. The three options below produce the same followed link to the company’s PipCircle profile.
1. Plain HTML - works everywhere
An image inside a link. Use it in email signatures, marketplaces and anywhere scripts are not allowed. The image is a fixed file for the rating at the time you copied it.
<a href="https://pipcircle.com/broker/your-company" title="Your Company is rated 4.5 out of 5 on PipCircle"> <img src="https://pipcircle.com/api/badge-assets/png/card/light/pipcircle-rating-card-4-5.png" alt="Your Company is rated 4.5 out of 5 on PipCircle" width="268" height="98"> </a>
2. Live badge - always the current rating
Same link; the image comes from a permanent PipCircle address. When the rating changes the image changes (cached for at most one hour). Add @2x before .png for retina, or use .svg.
<a href="https://pipcircle.com/broker/your-company" title="Your Company is rated 4.5 out of 5 on PipCircle"> <img src="https://pipcircle.com/api/badge/your-company/card-light.png" alt="Your Company is rated 4.5 out of 5 on PipCircle" width="268" height="98"> </a>
Families: ring, stars, inline, pill, card, square, button, verified, verified-square · themes light / dark · sizes ring-light-48, stars-light-s.
3. Reviews widget - latest reviews
Renders the latest three to five approved reviews (name, stars, date) and a “Read all reviews on PipCircle” link. Keep the link and image inside the container: it is the fallback so the backlink exists before the script runs and if it never runs.
<div data-pipcircle="your-company" data-theme="light"> <a href="https://pipcircle.com/broker/your-company" title="…"><img src="https://pipcircle.com/api/badge/your-company/card-light.png" alt="…"></a> </div> <script async src="https://pipcircle.com/api/badge/your-company/widget.js"></script>
Rules to keep the backlink valid
- Do not add
rel="nofollow", do not route the link through a redirect or tracking domain. - Keep the
altandtitletext: they carry the company name and rating for search engines. - Badge addresses stay valid if the company renames itself - old addresses redirect permanently.
- Badges are only served for claimed, published companies; a company that drops below a threshold automatically shows the best badge it still qualifies for.
