How do I claim and verify my company's listing?
Take ownership of your listing and earn the Verified badge by proving domain control.
Updated
Claiming your listing
Go to /claim/<listing> or open the listing page and select "Claim". You'll need to demonstrate that you operate the company's domain using one of these methods:
- Receive an email at your company domain and follow the secret link we send
- Place a DNS TXT record on your root domain
- Add a meta tag to your homepage
- Upload a small verification file to your website root
Your verification code remains valid for 14 days. If it expires before you complete verification, start the process again.
After verification
Once verified, you become the listing owner (if it was previously unclaimed). This gives you the right to edit the listing details and add your company information.
You'll receive the Verified badge, which signals that you control the company's domain. This badge is permanent and cannot be removed. It is distinct from any paid placement or community voting—verification is solely about domain ownership.
What the badge represents
The Verified badge only confirms domain control. It does not indicate ranking, endorsement or any form of paid promotion. Other launch and discovery sites use their own verification processes; this badge applies only here.
