Display the badge on your website
Every listing can show the Best Biz Launch badge. Visit your listing's badge page to choose a design—pick your shape, select light or dark, and set the size that suits your site. Copy the HTML snippet and paste it wherever you'd like it to appear. The badge links straight back to your listing page here.
Free listings must have the badge
If your listing is free, we publish it only after our crawler spots a link to your listing page on your website. Any badge design works. We check automatically and re-verify every 7 days.
If the badge goes missing, your listing moves to 'waiting for badge' and we email you. Put it back and the listing is re-published automatically. A free listing also needs its owner's founder profile to be complete before it goes live.
When the link is followed
The badge link starts as nofollow. It becomes dofollow when your site's Domain Rating (Ahrefs) is at least 20 and our spam checks pass; otherwise it stays nofollow. Paid launches get a dofollow link to your website on the listing page; free listings get a nofollow link.
Award badges
Launch of the Week, Launched and Verified badges appear automatically when earned. A Featured badge comes with a paid Featured period.
