About
Install one embed on your site, then collect, reorder, and publish directory badges from one dashboard—without another deployment.
Features
- Problem
- Each new badge requires editing site code.
- How it works
- Provides a lightweight script, server component, or HTML-fragment embed installed once.
- Result
- Future badge changes do not require another code change.
- Why
- The embed becomes the persistent connection between a site and BadgeRelay-managed badge content.
- Problem
- Badges are scattered across products and codebases.
- How it works
- Collects badge code or directory URLs and organizes badges in one dashboard list.
- Result
- Users can manage badges across products from one place.
- Why
- Centralized management keeps badge content independent of individual footers.
- Problem
- Badge updates are slow to publish.
- How it works
- Lets users add, remove, and reorder badges from the dashboard; the next embed request reflects the change.
- Result
- Changes go live without rebuilding or redeploying.
- Why
- Connected sites retrieve the current badge set through the embed.
- Problem
- Footer badge presentation must fit different sites.
- How it works
- Offers row, carousel, and compact layouts.
- Result
- Badges can be displayed in a format that fits the site.
- Why
- Different footer designs need different badge arrangements.
- Problem
- Directory verification and backlink requirements can be disrupted by embeds.
- How it works
- Renders badges into page HTML on the server and keeps directory links intact.
- Result
- Verification badges and their backlinks remain crawlable.
- Why
- Crawlers and verification bots can read server-rendered badges without waiting for client-side JavaScript.
