The badge
Verified by Hamptons Verified
If we list your venue and we have checked it, you may put this badge on your own website. Free, forever, with nothing to sign.
What it costs
Nothing. There is no fee, no invoice and no renewal.
- Free. The badge has never been for sale and will not be.
- No strings. No contract, no link exchange demanded, no account to open.
- Yours to keep. Use it while we list you. Stop using it whenever you like.
- No tracking. It is one plain image file. It sets no cookie and runs no script.
Being listed is editorial, and it is free
No venue pays to appear here. Being listed, and being checked, are editorial decisions made by the editor. Neither is for sale.
The only thing we sell is a clearly labelled Featured placement. Buying one never changes what we write about you, and never earns a badge.
A partner and a venue that has never spoken to us get the same badge, on the same terms, from the same file.
The full policy: editorial independence. What is actually sold: advertise.
How to add it
Paste this into your site and swap YOUR-PAGE for the path of your own page on this site.
<a href="https://hamptonsverified.com/YOUR-PAGE">

</a>Your path is whatever follows the domain in your listing’s address, for example restaurants/nick-and-tonis.
Easier: open your own page on this site and look for “Own this business?” near the bottom. It holds the snippet already filled in for you.
Can’t find your page, or want the badge as an image file for a window sticker? Ask us.
The one rule
The badge must link to your page here, so anyone can click it and read what we actually wrote about you, including the parts you would not have chosen.
That is the whole condition. A badge that links nowhere is a graphic; a badge that links to the write-up is a claim a reader can check.
Why there is no date on it
Everything here is re-checked on a schedule, so a stamped date on a sticker would only ever be older than the listing itself.
The badge therefore says one thing, and links to the page where the sources live. That page is the record, not the badge.
If something is wrong
Wrong hours, wrong name, a write-up you think is unfair — tell us and we will re-check it. Corrections are free too, and they are not a negotiation about a placement.
