Claim an Existing SaaS Profile
If your SaaS already has a product profile on HowToBuySaaS, an authorized representative can request control of the profile so factual product information can remain accurate, current, and useful to software buyers.

What Claiming a Profile Actually Means
A profile claim is an authorization and product-information workflow. It is not a promotional ranking service or an editorial endorsement.
Give the right company representative control of factual information
Product information changes over time. Features launch, screenshots become outdated, integrations change, pricing pages move, and positioning evolves. Claiming gives an authorized representative a clear process for keeping factual listing information current.
HTBS may still review requested changes for accuracy, marketplace consistency, relevance, and compliance with profile guidelines before they appear publicly.
What an Authorized Representative Can Help Keep Current
Supported updates should improve the accuracy and usefulness of the product profile for software buyers.
Company and product details
Correct the product name, company information, positioning, product status, and other supported factual information.
Product description
Request updates to factual descriptions of what the software does, who it serves, and the workflows it supports.
Features and integrations
Keep material product capabilities, integrations, and supported use cases aligned with the current product.
Screenshots and product media
Replace outdated visuals with appropriate logos, screenshots, interfaces, and approved product assets.
Official product destinations
Keep supported website, demo, pricing, signup, documentation, or contact destinations current where applicable.
Material product updates
Request factual changes when the SaaS materially changes, launches an important capability, or updates its product availability.
Claiming a Profile Does Not Give Control Over HTBS Editorial Content
Vendors should be able to correct facts without being able to purchase or rewrite independent editorial judgments.
Factual control and editorial control are deliberately separated
An authorized vendor can help keep its product information accurate. HTBS retains control over independent reviews, editorial conclusions, comparisons, recommendations, marketplace taxonomy, and other editorial decisions.
How HTBS Reviews a Profile Claim
The objective is to reasonably confirm that the requester is authorized to represent the SaaS before profile-management access is provided.
Identify the existing profile
Send HTBS the URL of the existing product page you want to claim.
Provide company and requester information
Share the official company website, your work email, role, and relevant contact information.
HTBS reviews authorization
We compare the request with available company information and may ask for additional evidence when needed.
Claim status is confirmed
Once authorization is reasonably established, HTBS can confirm the claim and enable the supported profile-management workflow.
Future factual changes can be managed
The authorized representative can keep supported product information current, while HTBS retains editorial control over independent content.
Who Can Request a Profile Claim?
Founder or company owner
A founder, co-founder, or other authorized company leader can request control of an existing SaaS profile.
Authorized employee
Marketing, product, operations, communications, or another appropriate company team member may submit the request.
Authorized agency or partner
An outside agency or representative may request a claim when it can reasonably demonstrate authorization from the company.
Your SaaS is not on HTBS yet?
Profile claiming is only for products that already have an HTBS product page. If your SaaS has not been listed yet, use the public marketplace listing process instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does claiming a SaaS profile do?
Claiming establishes that an authorized representative is associated with an existing HTBS product profile and enables the supported process for maintaining factual product information.
Does claiming mean HTBS endorses our product?
No. Authorization confirms the relationship between the requester and the product. It is not an endorsement, product-quality certification, review score, recommendation, or ranking.
What information can we request to update?
Supported factual updates may include company information, product descriptions, features, integrations, use cases, screenshots, product media, and appropriate official destinations. HTBS may review requested changes before publication.
Can we change an independent HTBS review after claiming?
Vendors may identify factual inaccuracies for HTBS to review, but claiming a profile does not give a company control over independent editorial conclusions, opinions, review scores, pros and cons, or recommendations.
Can claiming improve our position in an HTBS category?
Claiming does not purchase or guarantee a category position, comparison result, alternatives placement, best-software recommendation, or another independent editorial ranking.
Does claiming provide a backlink or SEO benefit?
Profile claiming is not sold as a backlink or SEO service. HTBS does not guarantee link equity, Google rankings, indexing, search traffic, AI-search citations, or other search-engine outcomes.
How does HTBS verify authorization?
HTBS may review the company website, work email domain, the requester's company role, existing public company information, or other reasonable evidence needed to establish authorization.
Can an agency claim a profile for a client?
Yes, an agency or other representative may submit a request when it is authorized to represent the company and can provide appropriate supporting information if requested.
What if our SaaS is not listed on HTBS yet?
Use the List Your SaaS page instead. Profile claiming is intended only for products that already have an existing HTBS marketplace profile.
Does HTBS guarantee claim approval?
No. HTBS may request additional verification, reject unauthorized requests, or decline a claim when the relationship between the requester and the product cannot be reasonably established.
