The badge is part of the new Search profiles features Google rolled out, and it extends your reach so people who land on your site can subscribe to your updates across Google Search. To use it, you first need to claim your Search profile.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the Search profile badge?<\/h2>\n<p>The badge is a button you place on your website that lets users and searchers follow you. Google&#8217;s help document frames it this way: &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; Once a visitor follows you through the badge, your content becomes easier for them to find again inside Google Search.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you add the badge to your site?<\/h2>\n<p>Adding the badge starts with claiming your Search profile. After the profile is claimed, Google provides official assets and a code snippet you paste into your website to display the button. From there, visitors can click the badge to follow you.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the brand guidelines for the badge?<\/h2>\n<p>Google lists a set of best practices to keep the badge accessible and recognizable:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep touch targets accessible.<\/strong> Maintain a clickable target of at least 48 by 48 dp on Android and 44 by 44 px on iOS and web.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preserve logo integrity.<\/strong> When using Google&#8217;s official assets, do not stretch, distort, rotate, or alter the colors of the &quot;Super G&quot; icon or the Search profile button.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not mix monochrome and colorful badges.<\/strong> If you use monochrome for all icons, use the monochrome &quot;G&quot; icon to match.<\/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 the label so the two are distinct. 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 it relate to Preferred Sources and Tailor your feed?<\/h2>\n<p>The Search profile badge sits alongside two related Google features: Preferred Sources and Tailor your feed. Preferred Sources has its own badge, which is why Google&#8217;s guidelines address how to display both without confusing readers. If you plan to use the Search profile badge and the Preferred Sources badge side by side, the label on the Search profile button keeps them clearly separated.<\/p>\n<h2>Why the badge matters for publishers<\/h2>\n<p>The badge turns your existing website traffic into followers. Every visitor who already reads your content gets a direct path to follow you, which helps your work resurface for them across Google Search. Because the button lives on your own pages, you control where it appears and how prominently you feature it.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>What do I need before adding a Search profile badge?<\/h3>\n<p>You need to claim your Search profile first. Google&#8217;s help document states that after you have claimed your Search profile, you can add the badge to your website to encourage your audience to find your content across the web.<\/p>\n<h3>What size should the badge&#8217;s clickable area be?<\/h3>\n<p>Google recommends keeping the clickable target at least 48 by 48 dp on Android and 44 by 44 px on iOS and web to keep touch targets accessible.<\/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 so it stays distinct from the Preferred Sources badge, and it says not to use the &quot;Super G&quot; icon for the Search profile when pairing it with the Preferred Sources badge.<\/p>\n<h2>Related coverage<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/seoscanpro.ai\/blog\/google-business-profile-report-owner-response\/\">Google Business Profile Adds &#8216;Report Owner Response&#8217; Option for Reviews<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/seoscanpro.ai\/blog\/google-search-ranking-volatility-august-spam-update\/\">Google Search Ranking Volatility Continues After August Spam Update<\/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 a Search profile badge?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"You need to claim your Search profile first.
