Free listing or paid launch?

What you get with each option, side by side.

Updated

The free listing

You get a basic profile published on Business Listing Info. Paid sections—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 be on your website before we publish it. For a free listing the founder profile must be complete too. Your profile will sit in the free queue for about 1-2 weeks. Once live, you'll have a nofollow link to your website. These free pages can be thin, and a thin free page may be kept out of search results until it has enough content.

The paid launch

Pay $5 to go live now or in the week you choose. No badge required. Your full profile unlocks at once—all sections visible—and you receive a dofollow link. Search engines will index your page.

Add-ons let you feature your listing for $19, add extra categories, or choose bundles. For a free listing there is one upgrade, 'Upgrade to a full launch', at $5: it becomes a paid launch and can choose its week.

Upgrade anytime

You can move from a free listing to a paid launch whenever you want. Visit /account/listings to make the change.

Questions people ask

When does a free listing go live?
Free listings wait about 1-2 weeks in the queue before publication.
What's the main difference in search visibility?
Free listings use nofollow links, and a thin free page may be kept out of search results until it has enough content. Paid launches get a dofollow link and a page open to indexing by search engines.
Do I need a badge for a paid launch?
No. The badge is required only for free listings before they're published. A free listing waits for two things, the badge and a complete founder profile.
