If your organization has a reference profile you can claim it, so that you control its public facts and can file reports and share them. A claim covers organizations. Reference profiles for people can’t be claimed this way.
What you need
| Evidence | What you provide | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Work email match | Sign in with a verified email on the organization’s website domain. | The claim is approved at once. |
| Supporting evidence | At least one URL, plus at least 20 characters on your role and authority. | A person reviews the claim. |
| Review without links | At least 20 characters on your role and authority. | A person reviews the claim. |
Personal mailbox providers, such as Gmail, never count as a domain match. If your email domain doesn’t match, your claim goes to review.
Make a claim
Through the API. Send a signed-in request to the claim endpoint. See Authentication for tokens. The company’s ID is entity.id in GET /v2/entities/public/{slug}.
curl -X POST "https://api.sureshake.com/v2/entities/$ENTITY_ID/claim" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"evidence": {"method": "authenticated_email_domain"}}'For a reviewed claim, use one of these as evidence:
{
"method": "entity_evidence",
"evidenceUrls": ["https://example.com/team"],
"notes": "I am the CEO and manage our public information."
}{
"method": "operator_review",
"notes": "I am the CEO and manage our public information."
}The response’s status is approved or pending.
Through Sureshake. If you can’t use the API, contact us with the company’s page and your evidence.
During review
The profile shows Claim under review and the public reference record stays visible. Nothing is hidden or replaced while the decision is pending.
After approval
The profile becomes a managed profile. You can maintain its public facts, file reports, and configure permissioned sharing. Next, publish your company to refresh the page with your own facts.
In Sources and verification, Profile control then reads Managed; identity verification not completed, or Identity verified by Sureshake with a date once that’s done.
What a claim doesn’t do
A claim changes who controls the profile, and nothing else.
- It doesn’t make private financial information public.
- It doesn’t certify the facts on the page. Facts the company supplies are still the company’s own.
- It doesn’t grant access to anyone’s restricted reports.
If you later need to give up control, an owner can use Unclaim or delete this entity in Company Settings.
