What verification establishes

Connect your website to your company profile.

FirmsDirectory verifies control of the specified company domain so an authorized owner can manage the matching published profile.

01

Establish profile control

Complete the domain check to claim the published company profile.

02

Unlock owner tools

Manage the profile, receive company inquiries, and access available verified-company features.

03

Show the verification state

The public profile can display the Domain Verified badge after successful verification.

Verification is limited in scope. It confirms control of the specified domain. It does not establish licensing, financial condition, product quality, safety, or general legitimacy.

How verification works

Choose one of the implemented checks.

Start from the published company profile, request a claim, and complete one verification method.

A

DNS TXT record

Add the exact FirmsDirectory verification value as a TXT record at the root of the company domain. Return to the profile and check the record.

The record must match exactly; DNS publication time depends on the provider.
B

Website text file

Create the named plain-text file with the supplied verification value and upload it to the public website root. Then use the profile to check the required URL.

The public file URL must load without a login and return the exact value.
After verification

Manage your profile and use eligible features.

Verified companies receive the free owner tools. A paid subscription is optional and adds separate plan-based capacities.

✓

Manage your company profile

Edit company details, select the permitted industry and tags, and upload one profile thumbnail.

✉

Receive company inquiries

A public contact form appears on the verified company profile; inquiries are emailed to the company manager.

500

Verification star-vote bonus

Successful domain verification adds 500 popularity votes. Votes are not review ratings and do not guarantee ranking.

↗

Company analytics

See measured profile views, outbound website clicks, and company search appearances in the dashboard.

RSS

Fetch company news

Connect a feed on the verified domain and fetch up to 3 recent articles every 24 hours.

24h

Temporary homepage feature

The free verified tier can have one active feed article feature at a time for 24 hours.

Verification and subscription

Two different steps with different purposes.

Verification connects an authorized account to a company domain. Standard and Premium subscriptions add paid profile and Newsroom capacities but do not verify a domain automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know before you begin.

What does domain verification mean?

It means the account completed the DNS TXT or website text-file check for the specified domain and can manage the associated published company profile.

Does verification prove the company is legitimate or licensed?

No. It confirms control of a domain only. Visitors should independently check licensing, claims, products, services, and business practices.

Does verification guarantee search rankings?

No. Verification and the 500 popularity-vote bonus do not guarantee search engine rankings, directory position, traffic, or impressions.

Is verification the same as a paid subscription?

No. Verification is free. Standard and Premium subscriptions are optional monthly products with additional plan-specific limits.

What happens if my company is not listed yet?

Submit the company profile for review first. After publication, open the profile and request a claim to begin domain verification.
