Yeah. For many people I interact with Facebook, and to a lesser extent Google, are the internet. So they’d never see the seal unless Google put the sites in their top three results and didn’t scrape the relevant info.

Or someone posted a meme with the seal in it on Facebook.

For apps at least, you could add the branding seal to the Appstore metadata that you upload for your app to the Apple/Android App Store.

For websites, agreed google would have to display it or it'd have to be after the initial page load which means you'd be tracked the first time you visited the site and you'd know not to visit a second time.

Perhaps for websites, a browser add-on that checked a certified ad tracking free database registry could be used.
