GROUND TRUTH VERIFIED · CLIENT RESOURCE
Share your verification with customers
Add the official GTV seal to your website, link it to your Verified Business Profile, and share your verification on Instagram and other supported social profiles.
ENGLISH
Add the official GTV seal to your website
GTV documents selected real-world facts through on-site verification. The seal is not a rating, quality guarantee, commercial endorsement or product certification.
2. Download the official seal
Open the official seal PNG to save. Upload the image to your own website's media library. Never distort, recolor, crop or redraw the seal.
3. Position the image
Place the image in your footer, About page, contact page or location page. A display width around 100–150 pixels is a useful starting point, with proportional mobile sizing.
4. Make it clickable
In Webflow, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or another website builder, add an Image block, select the PNG and link the image to the full exact GTV Verified profile URL. Add alt text: Ground Truth Verified seal.
5. Publish and test your own site
Check the published seal on mobile and desktop. Click or tap it to confirm it opens the correct Verified location. Keep it keyboard-accessible.
Multiple locations
Give each verified location its own link. Do not present an unverified location as verified.
One website, several verified locations
If your brand has multiple GTV Verified locations, link to each location's own profile. You can place a linked seal on each location page, or list the verified locations together on your company website.
Use descriptive links so customers can distinguish locations. A link is helpful for discovery but is not a guarantee of higher search rankings.
Instagram profile links
In the Instagram mobile app, open your business profile. Choose Edit profile → Links → Add external link (labels can change). Paste your full GTV URL, title it Ground Truth Verified or Verified GTV Profile, save, and test the link from your public profile.
Other social profiles
On Facebook or other platforms offering clickable business/profile links, add the exact GTV profile URL where supported. Keep booking and shopping links prominent. Linking does not guarantee improved search ranking.
For webmasters: HTML example
Upload the official PNG to your own website and replace the sample GTV profile URL and local seal-image path with your exact business information.

Use rel="noopener" when opening a new tab. Avoid rel="noreferrer" if you want visits from your website to be identifiable as referrals in analytics.
