How Do I Qualify to Receive a Clutch Top Company Badge?

Top Company Badges recognize highly ranked service providers based on Clutch’s directory rankings.

Reviews are the most significant factor in determining your ranking, so it's essential to continually strive for positive, verified client feedback.

Understanding the Difference: Badges vs. Awards

Both Top Company Badges and Awards appear under the “Badges” tab in your Vendor Dashboard, but they represent different achievements:

Top Company Badges – Earned based on your current Clutch Rank within a directory. These updates dynamically reflect your performance and standing at any given time.
Awards – Granted during Clutch’s annual awards cycle, recognizing top-performing companies across specific categories, industries, or regions.
- Awards are viewable in a separate “Awards” tab in your dashboard.
- Unlike badges, they are issued periodically (not updated in real time).

TIP: While both appear in the Badges tab of your Vendor Dashboard, remember that Badges reflect ongoing ranking performance, while Awards celebrate achievements earned during Clutch’s awards cycle.
