Once you have claimed your Search profile, adding the badge lets visitors follow your content straight from your pages, then keep seeing it across Search. Google introduced the badge alongside a wider set of Search profile features.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the Search profile badge?<\/h2>\n<p>The badge is a button you place on your website that connects to your claimed Google Search profile. Google&#8217;s help document describes the purpose plainly: &quot;After you&#8217;ve claimed your Search profile, you can encourage your audience to find your content from across the web by adding a Search profile badge to your website.&quot; The follow action happens directly from your site, so a reader who already visits your pages can opt in without hunting for you inside Search first.<\/p>\n<p>Claiming your Search profile is the prerequisite. The badge points to that profile, so the follow relationship only works once the profile exists and is claimed.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you add the badge to your site?<\/h2>\n<p>Google provides the badge code to paste onto your website, along with official assets for the button and the &quot;Super G&quot; icon. Using the supplied code and assets keeps the badge consistent with how Google renders it elsewhere and preserves the follow link back to your profile.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the brand guidelines and best practices?<\/h2>\n<p>Google lists specific rules for displaying the badge correctly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep touch targets accessible.<\/strong> Keep the clickable target at least 48 by 48 dp on Android and 44 by 44 px on iOS and web, so the badge is easy to tap or click.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preserve logo integrity.<\/strong> If you use the official assets from Google, do not stretch, distort, rotate, or alter the colors of the &quot;Super G&quot; icon and the Search profile button.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not mix monochrome and colorful badges.<\/strong> If you use monochrome for all your icons, use the monochrome &quot;G&quot; icon rather than pairing it with a colorful version.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintain badge clarity.<\/strong> If you want to show the Search profile badge and the Preferred Sources badge together, use the higher emphasis Search profile button with its label so it stays distinct from the Preferred Sources badge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep the two badges separate.<\/strong> Do not use the &quot;Super G&quot; icon for the Search profile when it is paired with the Preferred Sources badge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How does this fit with Preferred Sources and Search profiles?<\/h2>\n<p>The Search profile, Preferred Sources, and the feed you tailor are related but separate features. The badge guidelines treat the Search profile badge and the Preferred Sources badge as distinct elements, which is why Google recommends the labeled, higher emphasis button when both appear on the same page. Keeping the visual treatments apart helps readers understand which action they are taking.<\/p>\n<h2>Why the badge matters for publishers and brands<\/h2>\n<p>Placing a follow button on pages you already control gives your existing audience a direct way to keep receiving your content through Search. Instead of relying only on people discovering your profile inside Google, the badge invites the readers already on your site to follow, which can compound the reach of a claimed Search profile over time.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>What do I need before adding the Search profile badge?<\/h3>\n<p>You need a claimed Google Search profile. Google&#8217;s help document states that you add the badge after you have claimed your Search profile, and the badge connects visitors to that profile.<\/p>\n<h3>What size should the badge be for accessibility?<\/h3>\n<p>Keep the clickable target at least 48 by 48 dp on Android and 44 by 44 px on iOS and web, so it remains an accessible touch target.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I show the Search profile badge and the Preferred Sources badge together?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Google advises using the higher emphasis Search profile button with its label for clarity and distinction, and not using the &quot;Super G&quot; icon for the Search profile when it is paired with the Preferred Sources badge.<\/p>\n<h2>Related coverage<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/localseobot.ai\/blog\/google-business-profiles-report-owner-response\/\">Google Business Profiles add a &#8216;Report owner response&#8217; option for review replies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/localseobot.ai\/blog\/inside-google-maps-72-ranking-signals-local-search-architecture\/\">Inside Google Maps: 72 Ranking Signals and the Architecture Behind Local Search<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What do I need before adding the Search profile badge?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"You need a claimed Google Search profile.
