Depending on how your website was built, there are three different methods to display the SiteLock Seal: WordPress, HTML coding, or the Website Builder. For each of these methods, you need to get the code from the SiteLock Dashboard.

1. Go to HostPapa Dashboard > My Services.

2. Select Website Protection.

3. Choose the domain where you want to add the seal and click Details.

4. The product information will be displayed. Click on Launch.

5. The SiteLock Dashboard page will open. Click on the Shield icon on your SiteLock Dashboard page next to the menu icon to deploy SiteLock Trust Seal.

6. Follow steps 1, 2, and 3 to choose language, looks, and the displaying contact info of your seal.

7. Copy the code from step 4 and click on Save Configuration Settings.
