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. More stable positioning

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

The exact position of a coordinated Diamond sponsorship may still change because of organic ranking competition within that 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 a Diamond 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 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 Diamond level sponsorship, or changes to any existing Diamond sponsorship, 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 Diamond sponsorship that impacts another company's projected placement, then the impacted company will be granted the opportunity to change its Diamond 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 Diamond placement, the cycle continues so that every Diamond sponsor has the opportunity to finalize their placement choices for themselves.

When Can I Add a Diamond Sponsorship?

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

The commitment deadline for coordinating Diamond sponsorship for the month that follows are:

The only time a Diamond 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 Diamond sponsor’s placement.
