“License Verified” badge
Show clients your California license is current. Look up your CSLB license, pick a style, and copy a free badge for your website that links to your public Prelien profile, where anyone can confirm your status, bond, and workers' compensation.
Look up your license to generate a verified badge you can embed on your own website.
Why add a “License Verified” badge to your site
Almost every contractor website says “licensed & insured.” The line is easy to type and impossible for a visitor to trust on its own. A badge that links straight to your public, CSLB-sourced record turns that claim into something a homeowner or general contractor can confirm in one click, your license number, status, contractor bond, and workers' compensation, all on a page you don't control and can't edit. That independence is exactly what makes it persuasive.
How the badge works
Look up your California license, choose a style, and copy the generated HTML. The snippet uses inline styles only, no external script and no stylesheet, so it renders the same on a hand-coded site, a WordPress block, or a website builder that accepts an embed. There is nothing to install and nothing that can break your page's layout or performance.
Where it links and what it proves
The badge links to your live Prelien profile, which is generated from the public California Contractors State License Board record and updated as that record changes. It is a neutral public-records summary, not a paid rating or endorsement, which is why it reads as verification rather than advertising. As a side benefit, the link is a relevant backlink to a page that already carries your business name and license, reinforcing your own search presence.
