Get started with BASIC BOOST

Did you know you can get more exposure for your software page on SourceForge for free by placing a SourceForge badge on your website? If you don't have a page on SourceForge yet, see our BASIC getting started guide first.

To set up a badge, log in and go to your SourceForge software listing. Click on "Admin" and then in the left menu click on "Badges"

When you place a SourceForge badge on your company website, your product page on SourceForge will automatically start to rank higher in our category and software search results. The badge also shows off your SourceForge user reviews.

The badge is available in a dark or light theme, which you can see below:

Placing the SourceForge badge on your company website is the best way to show off your user reviews to potential customers visiting your website. It also encourages current customers to leave you a review on your SourceForge software review page. The star rating on your badge will automatically reflect the star rating on your SourceForge page. If you do not have any reviews yet, you can still place the badge on your site, and the stars will be replaced by a “Write a Review�? button until you have at least one customer review.

Once the badge is placed on your site, our system automatically recognizes that and will begin to rank your software above all other pages that have not placed the badge on their company website. This entire process is free of charge.
