HOW TO USE THE BADGE
--------------------
1. Upload the PNG or SVG file to your website.
2. Copy one of the provided HTML snippets from html-embed-codes.txt.
3. Replace [agency-slug] with your BizListings.ca listing URL slug.
4. Paste the code into your site’s footer, About page, or Press page.
5. Save and publish.

CHOOSING A FILE
---------------
• Use the light version on white or light-coloured pages.
• Use the dark version on dark-coloured pages.
• Use SVG when your website supports it; it stays sharp at every size.
• Use the 150 px PNG in compact footers.
• Use the 250 px PNG on About, Services, Press, or Recognition pages.
• Keep the badge proportions intact. Do not stretch, recolour, crop, rotate, or cover the badge.
• Leave clear space around the badge equal to at least one-quarter of its height.

IMPORTANT LINK NOTE
-------------------
The sample HTML expects the hosted badge at:

If you host the image on your own website, replace the image src URL with the URL of your uploaded badge file. Confirm the image and destination link both load before publishing.
