How It Works
A credible award, earned through real signals.
Awardly combines Google's local ranking data with verified customer reviews to identify businesses that consistently deliver. No pay-to-play, no marketing spin — just the public-facing evidence a business is doing right by its customers.
Verified Criteria
Award criteria are public, stable, and based on independent data — not paid placements or subjective juries. What earned the award is auditable.
Earned Award
Qualifying businesses receive an Excellence Award — a public badge they can display, with a profile page that lists the ranking and review basis for the award.
Why An Award Matters
Awardly winners get a badge built for trust.
Once your business receives an Excellence Award — a small business award earned from ranking and reviews — you can embed the Awardly badge on your homepage, link it back to your public profile, and share it on social. Customers see the badge, click through, and verify your standing for themselves.

Frequently Asked
Common Questions
Awardly continuously evaluates local businesses against two independent signals: Google local search ranking for the business's primary category, and verified customer reviews on Google Maps. Businesses that consistently rank in the top tier for their category and maintain a verified review profile of 4.5 stars or higher qualify for an Excellence Award.
Top performers do not need to apply — the award is issued automatically based on the published criteria. Businesses that are close to qualifying but not yet at the threshold can request a manual review from the contact page.
Winners receive an embeddable Awardly badge, a public profile page on Awardly, and the ability to display the award on their own website with a verified link back to the badge profile. There is no fee to receive or display the award.
No. Awardly does not sell awards and does not take fees from awarded businesses. The badge is a recognition of independent third-party data — paid placements cannot influence the award.
