Top tips to showcase your Facilitiesline Membership

Congratulations on earning your Facilitiesline membership! 

Whether you’ve achieved Bronze, Silver, or Gold status, this certification represents a strong endorsement of your company’s professionalism, reliability, and commitment to high standards in facilities management, enabling you to pre-qualify for more facilities management opportunities – faster! 

This valuable investment deserves maximum visibility. That’s why we’ve put together a mini toolkit of best practice ideas to help you showcase your Facilitiesline supplier compliance membership to more facilities managers and potential buyers. 

Here are some ways to help you connect, promote and grow your business pipeline… 

 

 1. Be loud and proud – show it off on your website!

Your website is often the first place a prospective facilities manager would visit to find out more about your company, including your services, past experience, and certifications. Showcasing your Facilitiesline status here is essential. 

• Add to Your Website Footer: Display your Facilitiesline badge in the footer so it appears on every page, maximising exposure. Link back to us (Facilitiesline), so facilities managers and buyers know where to find you when they login to the platform. 

See examples below of what to include, depending on your membership level: 

 

Bronze

We’re Facilitiesline Bronze accredited – we verified our company information and insurance! 

 

Silver

We’re Facilitiesline Silver accredited – this showcases our capability across key FM work categories! 

 

Gold 

We’re Facilitiesline Gold accredited – demonstrating our commitment to the highest standards in facilities management, including the Building Safety Act! 

 

• Create a Dedicated Certifications Page: Establish a ‘Certifications’ or ‘Compliance’ page displaying your Facilitiesline badge alongside other relevant certifications. Link the badge directly to your live Facilitiesline profile so buyers can verify your full credentials instantly. Consider including this information on your ‘About Us’ page as well. 
• Google My Business: If you maintain a company page, add your certification and badge to your images. Optimise your listing with essential details, including your website link, contact number, address, and opening hours. 

 

 

2. Email Signatures

A well-designed email signature provides an effective method to highlight your professional credentials. 

• Add the Badge to Email Signatures: Ensure all client-facing staff include the relevant Facilitiesline badge in their email signatures, including sales teams, account managers, and administrative staff. Canva offers free, easy-to-use email signature templates. 
• Make it clickable: Link the badge in your email signature to your live Facilitiesline profile for instant verification.

3. Promote it on social media 

Showcase your news on your company’s social media page – and get your team involved! 

• Announce Your Membership: When achieving or upgrading your membership, create a dedicated post featuring your certificate and tag Facilitiesline. Acknowledge your team’s efforts and explain its significance for buyers – improved compliance and enhanced safety standards. Share what value it brings to your company. 

• Optimise your profile: Complete your information thoroughly and update it at least annually with accurate details and regular posts showcasing your current projects. Add ‘Facilitiesline Certified’ or ‘Facilitiesline Gold Certified’ to your bio on platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. On LinkedIn, include it in the ‘Licences & Certifications’ section for both company and individual staff profiles.

 

 

 

• Maintain Relevance: Continue mentioning your certification in posts about safety, quality, or project successes.

Example: “Our team operates on-site today under the robust standards verified by our Facilitiesline membership – ensuring compliance and safety across all facilities management operations. We have obtained our Once For All Health & Safety SSIP too!”

Free design tools like Canva are excellent for creating branded graphics for announcement posts. 

 

4. Equip your sales team

 

• Display your certificate in your office: Print and frame your certificates at work – display them with pride where clients can see them during meetings. 
• Create Sales Materials: Create a one-page document that clearly explains your Facilitiesline membership. This will help your sales team communicate its value to potential buyers who might not be familiar with the scheme. 
• Share Resources: Ensure your team knows where certificates are stored internally, in case a buyer requests proof. 
• Refer to your membership in Case Studies: Highlight how your verified standards contributed to project success in case studies. Example: “As a Facilitiesline member, our compliance helped us secure contracts with [facilities management organisation] for [project type].” 
• Use it in outreach communications: When contacting potential buyers, include content highlighting your Facilitiesline credentials to demonstrate your commitment to compliance and safety.

 

5. On-Site, On-the-road and On the Go: Show it off! 

 

 

Your credibility extends beyond the digital realm. Reinforce your professional status in the physical world and on-site, where buyers, partners, and the public will observe it. 

• Workwear and PPE: Add your Facilitiesline badge to uniforms; provide constant reinforcement of your commitment to quality and safety on-site. 
• Printed Materials: Add your Facilitiesline profile URL as a QR code on business cards, brochures, and letterheads, making it easy for potential buyers to verify your credentials instantly. 
• Vehicle Graphics: Consider adding your Facilitiesline certification to company vehicles to increase visibility whilst travelling between sites.

6. Share your Facilitiesline profile directly

Complete your Profile Fully:  

-Fill out every section of your Facilitiesline profile.  

-Add detailed company descriptions

Maintain a Verified Profile: Keep your certificates up to date to avoid an Unverified status, ensuring you continue pre-qualifying for projects without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What do facilities managers check on a Facilitiesline profile? 

Facilities managers use Facilitiesline to verify supplier facilities management compliance efficiently. They check financial stability, health and safety (SSIP) certification, insurance levels, and other key details required for supplier pre-qualification. A complete, current profile simplifies their evaluation process and demonstrates your commitment to maintaining high standards. 

How do I maintain my membership level and verification status? 

Facilitiesline requires annual renewal and verification. Keep all documentation, including insurance certificates and safety policies, updated on the platform to maintain your active status and avoid duplicate information requests. The platform will proactively monitor your policies and alert you when expiry dates approach. 

Can smaller businesses benefit from Facilitiesline membership? 

Absolutely. For SMEs and sole traders, Facilitiesline helps level the playing field by demonstrating the same high standards as larger firms, opening doors to contract opportunities that might otherwise be inaccessible. Facilities managers value verified compliance regardless of company size.
