Is it free to claim a listing on ABA Rank?

Yes. Claiming a listing is free and needs no credit card. A claimed listing is ranked on exactly the same formula as a paid one: subscription plan is not an input to the Index, and no plan scores higher than another. Verified and Sponsor are optional paid plans that add features such as a reviewed badge and labeled placement; neither is needed to claim, edit, or keep a listing.

Who can claim a listing on ABA Rank?

The owners, operators, and employees authorized to represent the clinic, school, software company, service firm, or coach on the profile. Claiming needs a free ABA Rank account, which is created the first time you sign in with LinkedIn or a one-time email link. There is no password at any step.

How do I claim my listing on ABA Rank?

Search for the company by name or website at /claim/new, or open its profile and use the claim link at the top. Pick the listing, then sign in. If the address you sign in with is at the domain of the website on the listing, the claim is approved on the spot and the listing opens in your dashboard. With any other address the claim page offers whatever other check that listing supports, and otherwise sends the claim to a reviewer, who usually decides within one business day. Coach and therapist profiles are always reviewed by hand.

Do I need a work email to claim my listing?

No, but it is the fastest route. A work email at the same domain as the listing's website - name@yourpractice.com for yourpractice.com - is approved instantly. A personal address (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and similar) or one at another domain still works: the claim page shows any other self-service check that listing supports, and otherwise a reviewer confirms you represent the company, usually within one business day. Coach and therapist profiles are always reviewed by hand, whatever the address.

How long does it take to claim a listing?

A claim made with an email at the company's own domain is approved the moment it is submitted. A claim that goes to a reviewer is usually decided within one business day, and the decision is emailed to you. The sign-in link itself works once and expires after 15 minutes; request a new one if it lapses.

What can I do after I claim my listing?

Edit the public profile directly, including the facts your audience decides on that public sources never showed; request reviews from your clients and reply to published reviews; and receive inquiries. Every family inquiry to a clinic, school, or coach arrives in full, with contact details, on the free plan, and a software or service listing gets its first buyer inquiry in full and a preview of later ones. The profile shows a Claimed label, and every field you fill is republished in the machine-readable formats AI assistants read - schema.org structured data, a plaintext profile at /api/vendors/{slug}/md, the public /api/v1 API, and the MCP server - so the facts an assistant repeats about you are facts you chose.

Does claiming a listing improve its ranking?

Not by itself: claim status is not an Index input, and no plan scores higher than another. Claiming gives you the means to raise the score. The Index is 60 points from qualified public reviews, 35 points from decision facts, and 5 points from primary-category fit, and as the owner you can fill in the decision facts public sources never showed and ask your clients for reviews. The full method is published at /how-we-rank.

What if my company is not listed on ABA Rank yet?

Suggest it at /suggest-vendor - it is free. The editorial team reviews submissions weekly, approved listings typically appear within seven to ten days, and the submitter is emailed when the listing goes live. Once it is live you can claim it like any other listing. Individual coaches and therapists (BCBA, BCaBA, RBT) do not need to wait: they can create a free coach profile at /coaches/new.

Can a BCBA or RBT claim their ABA Rank profile?

Yes. Open the profile and use its claim link, or create one at /coaches/new if none exists. Coach and therapist claims are always reviewed by hand: you can add your BACB certificant number and registry link, and an ABA Rank admin checks them against the BACB registry - a review by ABA Rank, not a BACB endorsement. Most decisions land within one business day.

What if someone has already claimed my listing?

Ask the current owner to add you from Team in their ABA Rank dashboard - that is instant and needs no review. If the person who claimed it has left, request an ownership transfer from the listing's claim page instead: a reviewer checks every transfer request by hand, usually within one business day, and may contact the current owner first. An owner can also hand ownership to a teammate directly from the dashboard.

What a free claim gets you

Correct the record
Edit your services, insurance, locations, age bands, and hours. An unclaimed listing shows only what we could gather from public sources - and nobody on your side can fix it.
Earn your rank on merit
Qualified reviews are worth 60 of the 100 Index points and the decision facts buyers and families rely on 35. Claimed owners can add the facts public sources never showed, request reviews from clients, and reply to them publicly. Neither claim status nor plan is an Index input, so every listing earns its points the same way.
Hear from families and buyers
Every family inquiry through ABA Rank reaches you in full, with their contact details, on the free plan. Software and service listings get their first buyer inquiry in full; after that a preview, and reading every one is part of the Verified plan.
