Prove you control the company domain to become owner and earn the Verified badge.
Updated
Claim your listing
Go to the listing page and select "Claim", or visit /claim/<listing>. You'll need to prove you control the company's domain using one of these methods:
- Email: we send a secret link to an address at the company domain
- DNS TXT: add a record to your root domain
- Meta tag: place one on your homepage
- File: upload a small verification file to your site
Verification expiry
Your verification code expires after 14 days. If it expires before you finish, start the claim process again.
After verification
You become the owner (assuming the listing was unclaimed) and can edit it. You get the Verified badge, which signals that you control the domain. The badge is never sold and exists separately from paid placement and votes.
