Displaying your badge
Every listing can carry our badge on your website. Visit your listing's badge page to pick a design—you can adjust the shape, choose light or dark mode, and select the size that suits your layout. Copy the HTML code provided and embed it on your site. The badge points back to your listing page here.
Publishing a free listing
Free listings require this badge to go live. Once our crawler detects the badge on your website, we publish your listing automatically. We re-check every 7 days to confirm it remains in place.

Questions people ask
- Do I have to use the badge?
- Free listings require the badge to publish. Paid launches do not.
- What happens if I take down the badge?
- Your free listing moves back to 'waiting for badge' status and we'll email you. Replace it and the listing re-publishes immediately.
- Will my badge link be followed?
- It starts as nofollow. It switches to dofollow if your Domain Rating (Ahrefs) reaches 20 or higher and our spam checks pass. Paid launches receive dofollow on their listing page link; free listings stay nofollow.
