The "Monitored by LinkGuard" badge
If LinkGuard watches your backlinks, show it. This badge says you keep an eye on the links you build, something most people claim and few do. It links back to LinkGuard and never shows a single client URL, so it's safe to put on an agency site or a public case study.

[](https://linkguard.ai)What the badge says, and what it doesn't
It's a trust mark, not a certificate. It says you monitor your backlinks with LinkGuard so a removed or downgraded link gets caught instead of quietly costing you rankings. We don't audit your site before you use it and we don't rank you, so put it up only if you monitor your links with us.
- Safe for client work. The badge is the same for everyone. It carries no scores, no domains, and no data about the links you watch, so it never exposes a client.
- It's a real backlink. The embed code wraps the image in a link to LinkGuard. That's an honest, relevant link from your site to ours, which is the point of the exchange.
- It's a fair trade. You get a trust mark that signals discipline; we get an honest link back. We'd rather ask for it than assume it.
- One line, no script. It's a plain image. No JavaScript runs on your page, nothing is tracked, and it loads from our cache so it won't slow you down.
How to add it
- Copy the code above — HTML for a normal site, Markdown for a README or docs page.
- Paste it where you want the badge: a footer, an about page, a case study, an email signature.
- That's it. The badge links to LinkGuard and updates itself if we refresh the design — you don't host anything.
