How badges and links work with your listing

Display our badge on your site to activate and maintain your free listing. The badge link may become dofollow when your domain's authority meets our criteria.

Updated

Displaying the badge

Every listing can present our badge on your website. Visit your listing's badge page to select a design—choose the shape, light or dark finish, and size that suits your maison. Copy the HTML snippet provided and place it on your site; it links directly to your listing here.

Badge requirement for free listings

Free listings are published only once our crawler detects a link to your listing page on your website. Any badge design fulfils this requirement. We check automatically and re-check every 7 days. Should the badge disappear, your listing returns to "waiting for badge" status and we'll email you. Reinstate it and your listing re-publishes automatically—no manual intervention needed.

Link authority: dofollow or nofollow

The badge link begins as nofollow. Our script assesses live whether it becomes dofollow based on your site's Domain Rating (Ahrefs) reaching 20 or higher, provided our spam checks pass. Otherwise it remains nofollow. Paid launches receive a dofollow link on the listing page; free listings receive a nofollow link.

Award badges

Launch of the Week, Featured, Launched and Verified badges appear automatically when you earn them.
