Requirements

Clutch lists B2B companies that provide services to other businesses (development, IT services, design, marketing, business services) — a pure product/SaaS without a services arm is a weak fit
Profile requires a verifiable business: company name, tagline, employee count, minimum project size, average hourly rate, website URL, location(s), contact info, company overview, service focus
Sign-in is via LinkedIn, Google, or a company email address
Clutch reviews the submitted website and online presence before publishing — the profile goes to their team for review, not instant live

Confirm the company qualifies as a B2B service provider; product-only companies should skip or position the services/implementation arm
Company details: employee count band, minimum project size, hourly rate, locations, contact email
A company overview paragraph and service-focus breakdown
Client references ready to submit for first reviews (vendor.clutch.co/vendor/reference/create) — reviews are the ranking currency

Open https://clutch.co/get-listed
Select a Profile Offering — Basic (free), Verified, or Advertiser
Sign in with LinkedIn, Google, or company email
Complete the company profile fields (name, tagline, size, rates, locations, overview, service focus)
Submit — profile goes to Clutch's team for review and publishing
After publishing, submit client references to collect verified reviews
If a profile already exists unclaimed, use the 'Claim Profile' button on it instead of creating a duplicate

Profile tiers at step 1 include paid Verified and Advertiser offerings — the free Basic tier is selectable
Some profile fields (social links, featured reviews, custom/tracking URLs) are locked behind Clutch Verified or paid products — they show a lock icon in the profile editor
Seed data says link=nofollow — free Basic profile links should be treated as nofollow
Do not create a second profile if the company is already listed; claim it instead
clutch.co pages return 403 to non-browser fetchers; the help center (help.clutch.co) is readable

The company profile is publicly reachable on clutch.co/profile/<slug> (not 'Unclaimed'/draft) and appears in its category directory pages
