What are profile sections and what does locked mean?
Free listings lock four sections until you upgrade. Paid launches open them all. Here's what each section does.
Updated
Sections on every listing
Your name, tagline, description, features, category, FAQs, social links, logo, homepage screenshot, your own screenshots and comparisons are always there. You can edit these any time from /account/listings.
Four sections that unlock
Free listings show four extra sections as locked:
- Founder story — your background and why you built this, with its own page on the site.
- Milestones — dated moments in your product's life.
- Demo video — a link to your video.
- Website link type — free listings use nofollow; paid launches get dofollow.
How locked sections work
When a section is locked, you can still fill it in. What you write saves and waits. The moment you unlock it, visitors see it straight away.
Unlock by upgrading
Pay for a launch ($5) and all four sections open at once. Your website link switches to dofollow too. Already running a free listing? Sign in, go to /account/listings, find your listing and pick 'Upgrades and extras'.
