Review public signals
Awardly reviews companies using Google local ranking and verified customer reviews.
Apply published criteria
A business that already meets the criteria can receive an Excellence Award. No nomination is required.
Display a badge
Winners can display a badge. Someone can still nominate a business, and Awardly checks the same criteria.
Published criteria
There is no pay-to-play. A business that already meets these criteria does not need a nomination.

Verified reviews

Why a badge matters
A badge is a public mark that the business met the published criteria. It is not a guarantee of future ranking, revenue, or customer results.
Awardly does not sell the Excellence Award and does not take a fee from an awarded business to receive or display it. No winners are listed yet.
