    Who's behind it

    A badge is only worth its source.

    This is what stands behind BHG: a vendor database we maintain, a public methodology, and communities we run ourselves, not a freshly spun-up reviews site hoping vendors will pay to seed it.

    Where the badge shows up

    Where your score shows up.

    The badge isn't one placement on one site. Your score appears on the BHG scorecard and your vendor page, and in JSON-LD that search engines and AI assistants can read when buyers ask "is this vendor legit?"

    Live preview

    This is what your customers see.

    Pick a vendor below. The badge previews from live BHG data. The same iframe code drops on your site in under a minute.

    Why this works

    Free, public, score-driven. None of those are accidents.

    Free, public methodology, score-driven

    Every point of the 0-100 score is documented at /vendors/methodology. The math is open. You can see exactly what moves your number.

    5 factors, not 5 stars

    COA verification, payment transparency, shipping, ratings, listings. Trustpilot has stars. We have receipts.

    Live updates

    Your score is computed from our current data every time the badge loads. Once our editors verify a new COA, your score can move.

    30-second install

    Copy one iframe. Paste on your product pages or footer. Done.

    Links back to your scorecard

    The badge sends your customers to a public scorecard page for your store, not a third-party silo.

    Vendors can't buy a higher score

    No vendor can pay for a higher score or a better spot on /compare. The math runs against the same data for everyone.

    vs. The alternatives

    One row sums it up: methodology.

    BHG, PepReviewPro, Trustpilot, Google Reviews: same job, different rules. Read the first row first: if the methodology is closed, nothing else in the table matters.

    What it does for you

    The badge doubles as an SEO compounder.

    Installed with the WordPress plugin, the badge adds three SEO signals to your pages at once. Zero added page weight, zero render-blocking, zero interference with the rest of your site.

    Organization + Rating schema

    The WordPress plugin adds a JSON-LD block to your pages that points to your BHG scorecard. The iframe embed keeps its schema, including your numeric score, inside the frame. Search engines and AI assistants can read this markup, though Google does not show star snippets for ratings a business shows about itself.

    Schema types the WordPress plugin adds: Organization and Rating

    Outbound link to your BHG scorecard

    The badge wraps the iframe in an <a href> to your BHG scorecard. Google treats this as a credible outbound citation: vendor pages that link to authoritative sources rank better than pages that link nowhere. Even with the iframe blocked, the <a> tag and noscript fallback survive.

    Link target: /vendors/[your-slug] · rel="noopener" · target="_blank"

    Zero CLS, lazy load, isolated

    The iframe has explicit width + height + aspect-ratio so there's no Cumulative Layout Shift. loading="lazy" means it only fetches when scrolled into view. The iframe is a separate browsing context: its JavaScript can't touch your page, its CSS can't bleed, and your analytics can't see inside it.

    Time-to-interactive impact: ~0ms on host page · iframe bundle ~60 KB lazy-loaded

    Looks native on any site

    Set ?theme=light for white-background sites, ?theme=dark for dark, or ?theme=auto to follow visitor preference. Pass your brand hex via ?accent=%23hex. Mobile sizing handled: the iframe collapses cleanly under 360px without breaking your layout.

    Tested at 320px (iPhone SE), 375px (iPhone), 414px (Pro Max), 768px (iPad), 1280px (desktop)

    The compounding effect

    Every page that runs the WordPress plugin gets the same three signals. A vendor with 50 product pages shows the badge and its scorecard link on all 50, without re-pasting or maintaining anything. The score updates everywhere when your underlying data improves.

    How it works

    Three steps. Then the badge runs itself.

    01

    We score you against 5 weighted criteria

    COA verification (30%), payment transparency (20%), star rating (20%), shipping coverage (15%), listings depth (15%). Same rubric for every vendor. Source of truth is public at /vendors/methodology.

    02

    You embed the badge

    Copy one iframe. Pick a size (micro, small, medium, hero). Paste it on your product pages, footer, or About page. The badge pulls your live score on every load.

    03

    Your score updates as your data improves

    Submit a new third-party COA → your score can move once our editors verify it. Add a payment method → same, once we update your record. The badge picks up the change on its next load. No re-embed, no re-paste.

    The rubric

    Five factors, weighted, public.

    Third-party COA verification30%
    Payment transparency20%
    Star rating20%
    Shipping coverage15%
    Listings depth15%
    The compounding embed strategy

    Pair the badge with the calculator.

    Two BHG embeds on the same page beats one. The calculator earns the click ("customers stay to do the math"). The badge earns the trust ("published rubric, scorecard anyone can re-run"). Same data source, same brand color, separate iframes: they don't talk to each other and don't fight for the same pixel.

    BHG Trust Score badge

    Drop in your footer or About page. Customers see your live BHG Trust Score with the 5-factor breakdown. Public methodology. Same rubric for every vendor. Updates as your data improves.

    • • Organization and Rating schema with the WordPress plugin
    • • 4 size variants for any placement
    • • Outbound link to your BHG scorecard

    The math: 2 embeds × N pageviews = compounding BHG referrer signal

    Both embeds on one page = 2 referrer hits per pageview. 50 product pages × 5,000 monthly views = 500K monthly impressions of your BHG scorecard URL. Your scorecard URL gains backlinks and authority over time. Your own pages gain the outbound-citation credit Google has historically rewarded: vendor pages that link to authoritative sources beat pages that link nowhere.

    Why ship v2 first instead of waiting for the full review platform?

    The trust score was the moat. BHG already had the vendor data, the rubric, and the editorial workflow to ship it. Reviews are a layer on top, not the foundation. So we shipped the foundation first. Vendors get authority + SEO benefit today; review collection lands in v3 once the badge has 10+ live embeds and we've stress-tested the AI compliance scrubber on real submissions.

    Five weighted criteria: third-party COA verification (30%), payment transparency (20%), star rating (20%), shipping coverage (15%), and listings depth (15%). The full breakdown, including pass thresholds, data sources, and what we explicitly do not check, is documented at /vendors/methodology. Same math runs against the same data for every vendor. No editorial overrides.
