What is Diamond Sponsorship?

Diamond level sponsorships (including Double, Triple, and Quadruple Diamond) have special benefits and are coordinated on a monthly calendar basis.

What are the benefits of Diamond level sponsorship?

1. Highest exposure on the most trafficked pages

These are the highest-priced tiers of sponsorship available and provide top placements on the most competitive and highly trafficked directories.

2. Double Diamond and above is coordinated monthly

Our separate coordination process for Diamond levels ensures these placements are less dynamic than lower level placements during a given month. Double Diamond placements and higher are coordinated on a monthly basis so that new purchase requests do not affect the position of pre-existing sponsorships for Double Diamond and above. 

The exact position of a coordinated Double Diamond sponsorship may still change because of organic ranking competition within the sponsorship tier. Organic rankings update in real-time based on changes to reviews and other ranking inputs, so these factors may also impact the position of coordinated sponsorship at any time.

3. Exclusive or early access to additional benefits

Diamond sponsors are usually our most engaged & longest-standing sponsors and Clutch often tests or releases new features & benefits to Diamond sponsors early or exclusively.

Email us at sponsorship@clutch.co to understand the current Diamond benefits.

What Is Diamond Coordination?

The addition of a new Double Diamond level sponsorship or higher, or changes to those sponsorships, needs to be sent to Clutch by 5 pm Eastern on the stated Diamond coordination deadline (see table).

The coordination deadline is intentionally several days before the 1st of the new month. If, before the coordination deadline, a company commits to a Double Diamond or higher sponsorship that impacts another company's projected, coordinated placement, then the impacted company will be granted the opportunity to change its commitment in reaction to the adjustment. 

The impacted company will have the option to choose another sponsorship level for the same page (lower or higher) or discontinue the sponsorship. If the change that that company chooses negatively impacts the placement of another Double Diamond placement or higher, the cycle continues so that every Double Diamond and above sponsor has the opportunity to finalize their placement choices for themselves.

New or returning to Diamond sponsorship?

First-time or returning Diamond sponsors and Diamond Featured Listings begin with a three month commitment to help ensure you are properly prepared for Diamond level competition.

When Can I Add a Diamond Sponsorship?

Double Diamond level and above sponsorships are coordinated separately from other sponsorships, and changes are typically only made on the 1st of each calendar month. Any new Double Diamond and above sponsorships or changes to existing sponsorships must be communicated to sponsorship@clutch.co by the Diamond Coordination Deadline.

The only time a Double Diamond or above sponsorship will be accepted after the deadline or placed in the middle of the then-current month is if the new Diamond placement will not affect any existing Double Diamond or above sponsor’s placement.

The commitment deadline for coordinating Double Diamond or above sponsorship for the month that follows is:
