What you actually get
A page at /w/<slug> with your name, logo, tagline and founder tag, and two dofollow links out. The public leaderboard ranks by verified monthly views and defaults to hiding anything on zero, so until you connect a traffic source you are listed but not on the board.

How to submit to TrustViews

  1. Sign in
    WorkOS AuthKit: Google, or an email link. Identity scopes only.
  2. Create the website
    Name, URL, tagline, logo, and at least one founder tag. It publishes immediately and says so.
  3. Decide about tracking
    Afterwards it offers their own script tag or a GA4 connection. Neither is required to stay listed, and both are decisions about your analytics rather than about the listing.

Gotchas

A founder name and a founder URL are both required, and they go on a public leaderboard. There is a Hide identity toggle on the dashboard afterwards, but the fields cannot be skipped at creation.
Their badge is an iframe, not a link, so putting it up displays your view count and passes nothing. The links on the listing itself are dofollow whether or not you use it.
The board hides zero-view sites by default, so a listing with no traffic source connected is invisible to anyone browsing.
Connecting traffic means either their script tag on your site or a GA4 connection: a third-party tracker on your pages, which is a bigger decision than the listing.

Let your agent submit to TrustViews

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the TrustViews playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.

What it does for this platform
Checks your product against the 5 TrustViews rules above, so you find out you would be rejected before you open a tab.
Hands your agent all 3 fields this form asks for, none of them optional, already filled from your pack.
Tells you what paying buys here, so you pick it on purpose: listing is free and instant. The paid tiers on /pricing buy placement; the badge is free and is an iframe rather than a link.
Types it into TrustViews in your own browser, and stops for you when the form wants a sign-in.
Records what it sent, so the dashboard can answer "did I ever submit to TrustViews?".
