What Is an SSL Site Seal?

An SSL Site Seal is a visible badge or icon provided free of cost along with a legitimate SSL certificate. This seal serves as a trust mark on your website, offering additional assurance to visitors that your site is secured with a reliable SSL certificate issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).

By displaying an SSL site seal on your website—whether on your homepage, checkout pages, or any high-importance pages—you signal to your visitors that their sensitive data is protected through strong encryption. This helps build customer confidence, reduce hesitation, and increase conversions, especially on pages where users are expected to share personal or payment information.

Most SSL providers allow you to customize where and how the site seal appears, giving you the flexibility to place it anywhere on your site as needed.

If you host your website with providers like govaio.com, you can easily manage and install SSL certificates, along with their accompanying site seals, directly via cPanel, making the process straightforward even if you’re not a technical expert.
