How do I claim my listing and get the Verified badge?
Take ownership of your listing by proving you control your company's domain. We'll give you the Verified badge.

Claim your listing
Head to the listing page and hit "Claim", or go straight to /claim/<listing>. We'll ask you to prove you actually control the company's domain—pick whichever method suits you:
- Email to an address at your domain (we send you a secret link)
- A DNS TXT record on the root domain
- A meta tag on your homepage
- A small verification file on your website
Verification codes expire after 14 days, so if yours has gone stale, just start the process again.
What claiming gets you
Once you're verified, you own the listing (if it wasn't claimed already). That means you can edit it—keep the details fresh, add screenshots, update what you're working on. You also get the Verified badge next to your name.
What the Verified badge means
The badge tells readers you control the domain. That's it. It's never for sale and stays completely separate from paid placement and votes. Readers still decide the order themselves.
Questions people ask
- Can I buy a better listing position with verification?
- No. The Verified badge only proves you control the domain. Readers vote on order, and payment never changes that.
- What if my verification code expires?
- Go back to /claim/<listing> and start again. Codes last 14 days.
- Do I lose the badge if I stop paying for anything?
- Verification is never paid for. The badge stays as long as you own the domain.
