Display the badge on your site
Every listing can display our badge. Head to your listing's badge page, pick a design (shape, light or dark, size), then copy and paste the HTML snippet onto your website. The badge links straight back to your listing here.
Make your free listing live
Free listings need the badge to go live. A free listing also needs its owner's founder profile to be complete before it goes live. We'll crawl your site automatically and check every 7 days for the link. If it disappears, your listing pauses and we'll email you. Add it back and it'll publish again—no manual work needed.
When your link becomes dofollow
The badge starts as nofollow. Our script checks live: if your site's Domain Rating (Ahrefs) hits 20 or higher and passes spam checks, it flips to dofollow. Paid launches always get a dofollow link on the listing page; free listings stay nofollow.
Award badges
Launch of the Week, Launched and Verified badges appear automatically when you earn them. A Featured badge is bought with a paid Featured period; it is not won.
