# How do I claim, change or remove my startup's listing on ShowMRR?

> To claim a listing, publish a token file on your startup's website to show you control it, then connect the payment provider that bills the product. Once claimed you can edit or remove it. To have an unclaimed listing changed or removed, email support@showmrr.com. To stop ShowMRRBot reading your site, disallow it in robots.txt.

Source: https://showmrr.com/solutions/claim-or-remove-a-startup-listing (updated 2026-11-13). ShowMRR does not audit businesses and gives no financial advice.

## Why a listing may already exist

Some listings are created by ShowMRR from a number the company publishes itself, such as an open-startup page. They show as Unclaimed listing and the figure is self-reported. ShowMRRBot reads one number a day from that page, checks the site's robots.txt first and never makes the figure Verified.

## Options

1. **Claim it**: publish the token file on your website, then connect your payment provider with a read-only key. See [how to verify](https://showmrr.com/solutions/how-to-verify-a-startup-mrr).
2. **Change or remove it**: email [support@showmrr.com](mailto:support@showmrr.com) and it is done.
3. **Stop the bot**: add `User-agent: ShowMRRBot` with `Disallow: /` to your robots.txt.

More on the bot is on the [About page](https://showmrr.com/about#self-reported).

## FAQ

### Does claiming cost anything?

No. The Free plan covers one startup, including verification.

### What does ShowMRRBot read?

One number per site, once a day, from a page the company publishes itself. It stores the number, the page address and the date.

### How long does a bot-read figure stay up?

It keeps the last good value, and a figure that could not be re-read for 30 days is withdrawn.
