For IT / web teams

Compare The Dentist referral badge

Add a dofollow link from the practice website to Compare The Dentist. Prefer the square badge; header and footer logos are also available.

Requirement

Visible clickable link on the live practice homepage pointing to https://comparethedentists.com/
The badge image on its own is not enough — wrap it in an <a href> to Compare The Dentist. A generic https://comparethedentists.com/ wrap is fine; the unique ?ref= URL is preferred for tracking. Paste the address as shown, including https://
Prefer an image badge below. Do not add rel="nofollow" or rel="sponsored"
rel="noopener" on target="_blank" is fine
Typical placement: site footer, header partner strip, or About / Partners

Open this guide from the practice dashboard

We can then show your unique address (it includes ?ref=), which tracks clicks to your listing. A clickable link to https://comparethedentists.com/ is what we check — the picture on its own does not count.

Acceptance criteria

Badge or text link is visible on the production practice homepage (or linked footer sitewide).
Clicking it opens https://comparethedentists.com/ (including https://).
Link is crawlable (not behind login, not nofollow/sponsored).
Compare The Dentist staff verify the live URL before approving the practice claim / Premium eligibility.

Optional

AI discovery file (llms.txt)

A static Markdown file at /llms.txt that points AI tools (ChatGPT and similar) at this practice’s Compare The Dentist listing. No JavaScript, cookies, or remote calls — same class of root file as robots.txt. Optional: the on-page badge alone satisfies the claim requirement.

Download llms.txt below (or copy the text).
Serve it at the site root so https://yoursite.co.uk/llms.txt returns text/plain (merge with an existing llms.txt if you already publish one).
If the practice already has an llms.txt, append the Compare The Dentist section rather than overwriting their file.
