How do I claim my listing and get verified?
Take ownership of your company's listing and earn the Verified badge by proving you control its domain.
Updated
Claim your listing
Find your company on Virela Launch and open the listing. Hit the "Claim" button, or head straight to /claim/<listing>. You'll prove you control the domain—pick one method that works for you:
- Email verification: We send a secret link to an address at your company domain. Click it to verify.
- DNS TXT record: Add a record to your root domain's DNS settings.
- Meta tag: Drop a meta tag onto your homepage.
- Website file: Upload a small verification file to your site.
Once you're verified
You become the listing owner (if it was unclaimed before), so you can edit everything about it. You'll get the Verified badge next to your name—this shows the community you actually control the company domain. The badge is never sold and stays separate from any paid placements or votes you get.
Keep your verification fresh
Your verification code expires after 14 days. If yours runs out, just start the process again from your listing.
