Verified Company Squads
A Verified Company Squad is your company's official home on daily.dev. It works like any other Squad, with members, posts, and comments, but daily.dev has confirmed who runs it. Developers see a Verified Company Squad badge next to its name, so they know the posts and replies come from you and not from a fan page or an imitation.
Companies use it to put their engineering content where developers already read, to answer questions in the comments under their own name, and to be the first thing developers find when they look up their products.
What you get
A badge developers recognize
The Verified Company Squad badge, a seal with a check mark, follows your Squad around daily.dev: on the Squad page, in the Squads Directory, in search, on post pages, and on tool pages. Your Squad page also gets a Verified Company Squad card at the top of the sidebar.
Reach from day one
A new Squad usually has to build up activity before daily.dev starts showing it around. A Verified Company Squad does not wait. It shows up in the Squads Directory, in daily.dev search, and to search engines as soon as it is set up.
It also gets priority. When developers browse a directory category or look at which Squads use a tool, verified Squads come first. In Squad search, they sit right below exact name matches.
Followed links back to your site
Your website appears in the Squad header, and a Links card in the sidebar holds up to 10 more links: your docs, GitHub, Discord, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, or anything else. These are followed (dofollow) links, so search engines count them as links from daily.dev to your site. Links inside posts on daily.dev are nofollow.
Your website and links are also added to the Squad page's structured data, which helps search engines connect the Squad to your company.
Your products, with your Squad attached
Add up to 20 products to your Squad. Each one gets a page in the daily.dev tools catalog, and your Squad becomes its official Squad. When a developer looks up your product on daily.dev, your Squad appears at the top of the page with its badge, member count, and a Join button.
You control how each product is presented: name, tagline, description, pricing (Free, Freemium, Paid, or Open source), logo, and up to 5 links. Your Squad page shows the products on a shelf, with a page that lists them all.
No competitor ads on your page
Ads and sponsored placements do not appear on your Squad's feed, in search inside your Squad, or on your Squad's posts. Nobody can buy a spot in front of your audience on your own page.
Your blog, brought in for you
We can connect your blog so new posts land in the Squad automatically, and members get notified when they do. You keep publishing where you already publish.

Verification does not change the rules. A Verified Company Squad follows the same content guidelines as every other Squad, and your posts are organic posts, not ads.
How to get a Verified Company Squad
You cannot switch verification on from your Squad settings. The daily.dev team sets it up with you.
- Go to business.daily.dev and book a call with our team. If your company already runs a Squad, share its handle.
- We agree on what your company needs and sign the plan with you.
- We send you a short onboarding form for your page details: logo, description, website, links, and products. You can change anything later.
- We verify your existing Squad, or build a new one for you, and switch on your features. Your admins then manage the Squad from Manage on the Squad page.
