Adding Home Advisor or BBB widgets to site

[hectc7]

Hi yall,

I'm working on a heating and cooling website that has A Rating with the Better Business Burau and great standing with Home Advisor.

Anyone know the best way to take the widgets from those websites reflecting that and placing them in my website?

Thanks!

Do they provide you with any type of copy and paste code snippet to add t your site? If so, you can place the snippet in a text widget within one of your sidebars. A good place might be in a footer sidebar.

Unless you're integrating a widget that displays current info (like a Facebook widget that displays your most recent post), you probably just need to pull the relevant image from the websites of those organizations and make sure you follow their rules (usually things like don't change the color or make it link to their site).

The BBB is very clear on how to use their brand resources - check out their article about it here (includes what logos to use): http://www.bbb.org/canton/for-businesses/bbb-name-and-logo-use-policy-for-media/

If HomeAdvisor doesn't have any obvious guidelines like that, I would contact them -- the last thing you want is for your client to get into legal trouble a year from now because you guessed and got it wrong (sounds silly, but some companies are really intense about these things).
