Add a live verification badge to your website footer.
ShieldMark adds a clickable verification badge to the website footer, linking visitors to a SOFTRE Business Proof Passport that shows the business name, domain, badge status, badge type, issued-on date and verification scope — all on a public SOFTRE-hosted page.
The problem
Visitors often see a business website but have no simple way to check whether the domain has been reviewed or whether selected business information is available. There is no consistent visual signal in the website footer that links to verifiable proof of who owns the domain.
