Stork badge program

Add the badge. List free.

A directory listing on stork.ai normally costs $49 one-time. Put the “Listed on stork.ai” badge anywhere on your site — the footer works great — and the fee is waived entirely. Your listing stays free for as long as the badge stays up.

How it works

1. Submit your tool as usual.
2. Paste the badge snippet into your site and publish it — the footer is fine.
3. On the review step, before any payment, click “verify & list free”. We read your homepage and look for the link. No card required.
4. If your site renders with JavaScript, put the badge in your server-rendered markup — our checker only reads the initial HTML. A plain text link works too.
5. That’s it. We re-verify weekly; if the badge disappears you get a grace week before the waiver lapses.

The badge

Stork Verified is the program badge — it tells your visitors the listing is owner-verified and independently checked. Pick the style that fits your site:

Dark (for light sites)

<a href="https://www.stork.ai/" rel="nofollow" title="Stork Verified — stork.ai AI tools directory"><img src="https://www.stork.ai/badge/verified-dark.svg" alt="Stork Verified — stork.ai AI tools directory" width="216" height="44" /></a>

Light (for dark sites)

<a href="https://www.stork.ai/" rel="nofollow" title="Stork Verified — stork.ai AI tools directory"><img src="https://www.stork.ai/badge/verified-light.svg" alt="Stork Verified — stork.ai AI tools directory" width="216" height="44" /></a>

Prefer the launch-badge convention?

<a href="https://www.stork.ai/" rel="nofollow" title="Featured on stork.ai — AI tools directory"><img src="https://www.stork.ai/badge/featured-dark.svg" alt="Featured on stork.ai" width="216" height="52" /></a>

<a href="https://www.stork.ai/" rel="nofollow" title="Featured on stork.ai — AI tools directory"><img src="https://www.stork.ai/badge/featured-light.svg" alt="Featured on stork.ai" width="216" height="52" /></a>

Your site isn’t in English?

The badge ships in 8 languages — same program, same link. Append the locale to the filename, e.g. verified-dark.ja.svg, verified-light.de.svg (fr, es, de, ja, ko, pt, ru).

No badge at all?

A plain text link works too — any link to your stork.ai listing or to stork.ai qualifies for the waiver. The badge is what we recommend: it reads as a trust mark rather than an ad, and our check recognizes it instantly. But if your design can’t fit an image, a text link like <a href="https://www.stork.ai/" rel="nofollow">Stork Verified</a> is fine.

Already listed?

If your tool already has a page on stork.ai, point the badge at your own listing instead of our homepage — it makes the link more useful to your visitors. Just replace the href with your tool’s stork.ai URL.

The fine print

• The badge must be a real HTML link in your page source (not injected by client-side JavaScript). Our snippet carries rel="nofollow" — that is deliberate, and it qualifies.
• Your listing goes live immediately, and is submitted to search engines once the badge has been up for 72 hours.
• We check your site’s homepage automatically at verification, at 24 and 72 hours, and weekly after that.
• If the badge comes down, you get a grace period and an email. If it’s still gone at the next check, the listing comes down too — removed from stork.ai and from search. Nothing is deleted: re-add the badge and the next check restores it automatically. Or keep the listing without the badge for the one-time $49 fee.
• Submissions still go through our normal quality and content review.
