Show visitors you're verified
If your business is listed on the Costa Rica Directory, you can add our free Verified badge to your own website. It tells visitors a local team checked your details, and it links straight to your listing.
The badge is free, and it's yours
Every business we verify can use the Verified badge at no cost. It is not an ad and there is nothing to buy. It shows that your listing was checked against live sources by people who live here, with the date we last confirmed it. Adding it to your site is optional and takes two minutes.
The three badges
Verified
The standard badge. It confirms we checked your contact details and information against live sources, and shows the date.
Our Pick
For businesses we vouch for from firsthand local knowledge. It cannot be bought, only earned. We award it ourselves.
Featured
A clearly labeled visibility placement on the directory. It buys position on the page, never position in our opinion, and never touches the Verified or Our Pick tiers. Ask us if you are interested.
Add the badge to your website
Type your business name, pick a size, and copy the code. We fill in your listing address for you.

Cannot find your business? Search the directory, open your listing page, and paste that address into the code above. Or message us and we will send it to you ready to paste.
Good to know: the code already includes the badge image (it loads from our site), so pasting it is all you need. There is nothing else to upload.
Prefer the image file? If your website builder needs you to upload an image, or you want the badge for print or social, download it as PNG (transparent background, 512px) or SVG (scales to any size), then wrap it in a link to your listing.
Not sure how to edit your site, or want us to send you your exact code? Message us and we will hand it to you ready to paste.
Why add it
It gives your visitors a quick trust signal, backed by an independent check rather than your own marketing. It links to your verified details (hours, contact, map) so people can act. And it helps more travelers and residents find the directory, which means more people finding you.
