SQSP Directory Verification
Know who you're hiring.
The SQSP Directory Verified badge helps clients identify Squarespace designers and agencies whose profiles have been reviewed and confirmed by SQSP Directory.
A Verified profile means we have taken additional steps to confirm that the designer or business is a real, identifiable Squarespace professional.
Verified is about trust — not a guarantee of project quality.
What does Verified mean?
When a designer receives the ✓ Verified badge, SQSP Directory has reviewed their profile and confirmed key information about their business or professional presence.
Depending on the profile, our verification process may include:
Confirming the designer or agency's identity and business information
Reviewing their website and professional presence
Confirming that their listed Squarespace services are relevant
Checking that the profile represents a real designer, studio, or agency
Reviewing publicly available information associated with the business
Checking submitted information for consistency
Verification criteria may vary depending on the type of profile and information available to us.
What Verified does not mean
The Verified badge is not a guarantee that:
A designer is the best fit for your project
A project will be completed successfully
A designer's work will meet your expectations
A designer has been endorsed by Squarespace
SQSP Directory is responsible for a designer's work or services
We recommend reviewing each designer's portfolio, services, experience, reviews, and website before hiring.
How the process works
1. A designer claims their profile
A designer can claim an existing SQSP Directory profile and provide information needed for verification.
2. We review the information
Our team reviews the submitted information and available professional signals to determine whether the profile meets our verification requirements.
3. The profile is verified
If the requirements are met, the ✓ Verified badge is added to the profile.
4. Verification can be reviewed
Verification isn't permanent. We may review or remove a Verified badge if profile information becomes inaccurate, misleading, or no longer meets our requirements.
Can I report a problem?
Yes.
If you believe a profile contains inaccurate information, impersonates another designer, or displays a Verified badge incorrectly, please contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Verified mean SQSP Directory recommends this designer?
No. Verification confirms that a profile has passed our verification process. It is not a personal recommendation or guarantee of a designer's work.
Does Squarespace verify these designers?
No. SQSP Directory is an independent directory and the SQSP Directory Verified badge is not issued by or affiliated with Squarespace.
Can an unverified designer still be a great designer?
Absolutely. An unverified profile may simply mean that the designer has not yet claimed or completed the verification process.
How can I get verified?
First, claim your SQSP Directory profile. Once your information has been submitted and reviewed, eligible profiles can receive the Verified badge.
Can verification be removed?
Yes. If information becomes inaccurate or a profile no longer meets our requirements, SQSP Directory may remove the Verified badge.
