When you see the Trusted Partner Badge, you’re looking at an agency that has been carefully verified by Sortlist — with real reviews, a solid track record, and an officially registered business. It’s your shortcut to safer, more confident choices based on proven performance and transparency.
⭐ What is the Trusted Partner Badge?
At Sortlist, we believe that choosing the right agency shouldn’t feel like a gamble — it should feel informed, confident, and safe. That’s why we created the Trusted Partner Badge.
This badge is more than just a label. It’s a clear sign that an agency has been verified, recommended, and recognized for their quality, transparency, and commitment to client success.
When you see this badge, you can trust you're looking at a partner who has earned their reputation, not just claimed it.
✅ What the badge actually means
The Trusted Partner Badge is awarded to agencies that meet Sortlist’s highest standards. Every badged agency has demonstrated real, consistent performance and passed essential checks that confirm they’re active, reliable, and client-approved.
To receive the badge, an agency must:
🌟 Collect at least 10 verified client reviews
⭐ Maintain an average rating of 4.0 stars or higher on Sortlist
🏢 Provide a valid business registration number, verified by an independent third party — confirming they are a legally established and currently operating company
🚀 Be a Sortlist+ member, showing active investment in visibility, credibility, and quality
In short: Trusted Partners are agencies with proof, not just promises.
🔍 Where you’ll see the badge
The Trusted Partner Badge appears in places where you need trust the most:
✅ As a label with a check symbol on the agency’s Sortlist profile
🔎 Within search results and directories, helping you filter and compare agencies faster
📩 In recommendations, proposals, and project updates you receive from Sortlist
You may also see the badge displayed on the agency’s own website, pitch decks, email signatures, or sales materials, a sign that they’re proud of the recognition and transparency it represents.
Wherever you spot it, the meaning is the same: this is an agency you can trust.
🧭 Why this matters for your decisions
Finding the right partner isn’t just about services, it’s about confidence. The Trusted Partner Badge gives you a shortcut to identifying agencies that have already been reviewed, validated, and chosen by others like you.
It’s not to say that agencies without the badge can’t be a good fit, but when you need extra assurance, Trusted Partners offer a clear, low-risk choice based on real performance and legitimacy.
They’ve earned trust, now you can benefit from it.
