Google Woman Identifictions Badge

This is from the ongoing Google advertiser verification program and now we are seeing Google test little blue checkmarks for advertisers who are verified.

When you click to learn more, it tells you a bit more such as that this advertiser is a "verified business" and repeats that blue checkmark circle icon.
