Do I need to display the badge to publish my listing?

Yes, free listings require a badge link on your website before they publish. Paid listings do not have this requirement.

What makes my badge link become dofollow?

Your link converts to dofollow when your Domain Rating (Ahrefs) is 20 or higher and passes spam verification. We check this live.

What happens if I remove the badge?

Your free listing will move to waiting status. We check every 7 days and will email you. Restore the badge and it republishes automatically.

How do badges and followed links work?

Badges display your listing on your site, free listings need them to publish, and your link becomes dofollow based on your domain rating.

Displaying the badge

Every listing can feature our badge on your own site. Head to your listing's badge page, select your preferred design (shape, light or dark, dark or light, size), and copy the HTML code provided. The badge links directly to your listing here on Biz Launches.

Publishing free listings

Free listings require the badge to go live. Our crawler searches for a link to your listing page on your website—any badge variant will do. We perform automatic checks every 7 days. Should the badge be removed, your listing returns to "waiting for badge" status and you will be notified by email. Restore it and your listing re-publishes automatically without further action needed.

Link follow status

Your badge link begins as nofollow. Our system evaluates it in real time: it converts to dofollow when your site's Domain Rating (Ahrefs) reaches 20 or above and passes our spam checks. If those conditions are not met, the link remains nofollow. Paid launches receive a dofollow link to your website on the listing page itself; free listings receive a nofollow link.

Earned badges

Launch of the Week, Launched and Verified badges appear on your listing automatically once earned. These are not customisable and do not require manual setup. A Featured badge is bought with a paid Featured period; it is not won.
