As a Discover Bradenton Business Network member, you have access to one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools in local SEO: a backlink from a trusted local directory. What's a backlink and why does it matter?

When Google decides which businesses to show at the top of search results, one of the biggest factors it looks at is how many other reputable websites link to yours.

A link from Discover Bradenton tells Google that your business is credible, established, and connected to the Bradenton community, which helps push your website higher in local search results over time. In other words, placing this badge on your website is one of the easiest things you can do today to help more local customers find you on Google for free, as part of your membership. Here's all you need to do:
1. Click the Copy code button below-right
2. Log into your website editor (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, etc.)
3. Go to the page where you want the badge to appear. Your footer or sidebar works great
4. Look for an option to add an HTML block, Embed block, or Custom code section
5. Paste the code in and save your page
That's it! Your Discover Bradenton badge will appear on your site and automatically send SEO value back to the network, which benefits every member, including you. Not sure how to add it? No problem. Just forward this page link to your web designer and they'll know exactly what to do. Questions? Email us at admin@discoverbradenton.com
