displaying the badge
Each listing has a badge page where you choose a design—pick the shape, colour and size that suit your website. Copy the HTML snippet and place it on your site. The badge links back here to your listing.
publishing your free listing
Free listings need a link from your own website before we publish. Our crawler checks for the badge automatically every 7 days. Once we find it, your listing goes live.
If the badge is removed later, we email you and your listing moves back to waiting status. Add it again and it publishes itself.
how links are followed
Your badge link starts as nofollow. We check your site's Domain Rating (Ahrefs) and run spam checks while your listing is live. If your rating reaches 20 and you pass the checks, the link becomes dofollow.
Paid launches receive a dofollow link on their listing page by default. Free listings get a nofollow link.
earned badges
When you win Launch of the Week or Launched or Verified status, those badges appear on your listing automatically. You do not apply for them. A Featured badge is bought with a paid Featured period; it is not won.
A free listing goes live only when the founder profile is complete as well as the badge being found.
