Two paths to the Best Biz list
Your launch can take the free route or the paid route. Both get you ranked, but they differ on timing, visibility and features.
The free listing route
You'll get a basic profile on the Best Biz list. Paid sections—your founder story, milestones and demo video—stay locked until you upgrade. None of that applies to your screenshots or comparisons, which a free listing shows openly.
Our badge must appear on your website before we publish your listing. A free listing waits for two things, the badge and a complete founder profile. You'll wait in the free queue about 1-2 weeks for your slot. We'll give you a nofollow link to your website. Thin free pages don't get indexed by search engines, so they won't drive organic traffic.
The paid launch route
Pay $5 and your full profile unlocks immediately. You go live now or in the week you choose—no badge required, no queue. You get a dofollow link to your website, and search engines index your page.
Add-ons are available: get featured placement for $19, add extra categories, or buy bundles. A paid launch picks its launch week for free. If you are on a free listing, 'Upgrade to a full launch' costs $5, the launch price, and lets you pick your week.
Switch anytime
Start free and upgrade to paid whenever you're ready. Visit /account/listings to make the change.
