Verification

Paste this into your footer, your about page, or anywhere else on your own domain. Replace your-tool with your listing’s slug, your dashboard generates the exact snippet with it already filled in.

We fetch your site, look for an anchor whose destination resolves to your listing, and record where we found it. The check re-runs weekly. Because we serve the image ourselves, we also see it load every time somebody visits your page, which is a live signal in between crawls.

• The Verified mark on your listing card and detail page
• A dofollow outbound link on a free listing
• The ability to publish a changelog and answer questions
• Deals and offers attached to your listing

One OAuth flow, and it puts a second mark on your listing. It is worth doing for developer tools, where the audience actually checks, and worth skipping otherwise.

We removed revenue-band, traffic-band and government-ID verification from the roadmap entirely rather than leaving them marked Coming. A permanent “coming soon” is just a claim with a delay attached.

Verification proves control of a domain or an account. It is not an endorsement of the product. A verified listing can still be for something that does not work, is badly supported, or shuts down next month. We check who is speaking, not whether what they built is any good, and a directory that blurred those two would be selling something it cannot deliver.
