# Publish your company

Use the **Directory Visibility** switch to list your company in the directory and give it a public page at `/c/your-company`. You need permission to manage the company's directory listing. Owners have it.

Publishing doesn't publish private filings or grant access to permissioned material.

## Publish

1. **Fill in your public facts**

   In your company workspace, go to **Control › Entity Info** and open the
   **Public profile** tab. Only what you fill in is shown. Missing facts stay
   absent.
2. **Turn on Directory Visibility**

   The **Directory Visibility** card is beside your settings, and also on the
   **Marketplace Profile Settings** page. Turning on the switch publishes a
   snapshot of your public facts.
3. **Check the result**

   Choose **View public profile** and read the page the way a visitor would.

## What the card is telling you

| Status                              | What it means                                                                        |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Company is not public yet**       | Nothing has been published. Your public page doesn't exist for visitors.             |
| **Company is public**               | You're listed in the directory and your public page is live.                         |
| **Company is hidden**               | You withdrew the company. Turning the switch back on restores the record.            |
| **Company page in review**          | Sureshake hasn't released this company yet. See the next section.                    |
| **Visible once released**           | Your switch is on, and the company is still in review.                               |
| **Visibility locked by moderation** | The listing is blocked or archived. You can't change the switch until that's lifted. |

## Companies in review

A company you create through **Company intake** goes through a Sureshake review, and Sureshake releases it to the directory. While that's happening, the card shows **Company page in review**.

Don't rely on the review to keep a company private. If it should stay private, leave the switch off.

Sureshake can also publish a company it has reviewed. That release and your switch act on the same listing, so you can still withdraw the company afterwards unless moderation has locked it.

## What the public page shows

| Published                                | Not published                                |
| ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Name, logo, and location                 | Legal entity name and registration number    |
| Tagline and business description         | Internal description                         |
| Industry, company size, and founded year | Private financial values and private filings |
| Website and social links                 |                                              |
| Achievements and certifications          |                                              |

**Direct email**, **Direct phone**, and **Street address** stay hidden unless you turn them on under **Sensitive fields** in the listing manager.

## Update your public page

Your public page reads the snapshot you last published, not your live settings. An edit reaches it only after you republish.

- **While you're public,** saving Company Settings republishes for you. The confirmation reads **Saved and republished**.
- **If republishing fails,** you'll see **Saved, but the public profile was not refreshed**. Turn **Directory Visibility** off and on to try again.
- **If you change your record elsewhere,** your workspace overview shows **Published profile is behind the record**. Save Company Settings to republish.

Public pages are cached, so allow up to 15 minutes for a change to appear.

## Change the page's sections

Choose **Manage Directory listing** on the card to open the listing manager. There you can choose **Visible sections**, set **Sensitive fields**, check the **Exact public preview**, and choose **Publish new version**. **Save draft** keeps your changes without publishing them.

## Withdraw your company

Turn off **Directory Visibility**. The company leaves the directory and its public page stops resolving, though a cached copy can take up to 15 minutes to clear. Earlier published versions are kept, so you can restore the record by turning the switch back on.

## Settings that don't publish anything

- **Consent to public records.** This lets Sureshake access public records about your company to verify its information. It doesn't put your company in the directory.
- **Visibility on individual startup profile fields** (such as Public, Follower, Capital, or Diligence). These set who can see a field. They don't publish the company.
