What a Badge-Verified Listing Actually Signals

Badges are easy to dismiss as link swaps. Here is what verification checks on Launch Your SaaS, and why we look at the raw HTML of your homepage.

Free listings on Launch Your SaaS ask for one thing in return: a small "Featured on Launch Your SaaS" badge on your site. It helps the directory grow, and it tells visitors your product is maintained by someone who reads their own homepage.

What we check

  • The badge link points at your Launch Your SaaS profile or our homepage
  • The link is present in the server-rendered HTML, not injected later by JavaScript
  • The link is not marked nofollow
  • Your site responds with a normal page, not an error or parked domain

What verification does not do

A verified badge does not publish your listing on its own. Every product still goes through a human review queue. Verification adds half a point to the 0–4 editorial score and unlocks the free plan; it does not buy ranking.

Skip the form-filling

We'll submit your SaaS to 60+ or 100+ directories by hand and send a screenshot report.
