How does the listing badge work?
Get your free listing published by placing our badge on your website; we check it automatically and adjust the link type based on your Domain Rating.

Getting your listing visible
Every listing can display our badge on your website. Head to your listing's badge page to choose a design—we offer different shapes, colour schemes and sizes. Copy the HTML snippet and place it on your site.
Free listings follow a simple rule: we publish yours only once our crawler finds this badge linking to your listing page here. We check automatically every 7 days. If the badge disappears, your listing moves back to "waiting for badge" and we send you an email. Put it back and it republishes automatically, no manual step needed.
Link type: dofollow or nofollow
The badge link starts as nofollow by default. Our script reads your site's Domain Rating (via Ahrefs) live and decides on the spot. If your Domain Rating reaches 20 or above and pass our spam checks, the link switches to dofollow. Otherwise it remains nofollow.
Paid launches skip the badge requirement and receive a dofollow link on their listing page to your website.
Award badges
If your launch earns Launch of the Week, Featured, Launched or Verified status, those badges appear automatically on your listing. No setup needed.
Questions people ask
- Why does my free listing say 'waiting for badge'?
- The badge must be live on your website and linked to your listing page before we publish. Our crawler checks every 7 days. Once found, your listing goes live.
- Can I move my badge to dofollow?
- The link type updates automatically based on your Ahrefs Domain Rating. Reach 20 or above and pass spam checks, and it switches to dofollow live.
- Do paid listings need a badge?
- No. Paid launches are published immediately and already get a dofollow link to your website on the listing page.
