# Build your listing

> Build your Referly Marketplace listing: add branding, product details, the reward affiliates earn, a listing body and FAQs, then preview and publish to get discovered.

Your listing is the page affiliates see when they find your program in the [Marketplace](/docs/help-center/grow/marketplace/overview). This is where you make your pitch: who you are, what affiliates earn, and why they should promote you. You build it in the listing editor, section by section.

Open the **Grow** section in your dashboard and select **Marketplace** to reach the editor. As you work, your changes are saved as a **Draft** until you're ready to publish — so you can take your time and preview before anyone sees it.

<Tip>
  A complete, polished listing doesn't just look better — completeness directly lifts your ranking in the marketplace. See [Visibility and boosts](/docs/help-center/grow/marketplace/visibility). Fill in every section before you publish.
</Tip>

## Add your branding

The **Branding** section is the first thing affiliates notice.

* **Logo** — your product or company logo. It appears on your listing card and page.
* **Cover image** — a wider banner shown at the top of your listing page. Use it to show your product or brand in its best light.

A sharp logo and cover image make your listing look established and trustworthy, which affiliates weigh before joining.

## Fill in the details

The **Details** section is the core information about your program.

* **Name** — your program or product name, as affiliates will see it.
* **Product website** — the public website of your product. Affiliates use it to check out what they'd be promoting. It defaults to your program's landing page.
* **Business type** — the kind of business you run, chosen from the options shown. It helps affiliates and the marketplace categorize you.
* **Category** — the single niche your program belongs to. This is how affiliates browsing a category find you, so pick the one that fits best.
* **Description** — a short pitch shown on your listing card and at the top of your page. Keep it tight and compelling; it's often the deciding line for whether someone clicks in.

<Note>
  Changing your business type or category here also updates your affiliate program itself, since your listing and program share this information.
</Note>

## Set the reward

The **Reward** section decides two things at once: what affiliates earn, and where they land when they join.

You choose an **affiliate group**, and affiliates who join through your listing are placed into it. That group's [commission plan](/docs/help-center/getting-started/commissions/overview) sets the reward they get — and that same reward is what your listing advertises. So the group you pick here is both the offer on the page and the terms new joiners start on.

Choose a group whose commission plan represents the deal you want to make to the open market.

## Write the listing body and FAQs

The **Listing body** is the main content of your listing page, and it's **required** — you can't publish without it.

* **Body** — the full write-up of your program. Explain your product, who your ideal affiliate is, what makes your offer worth promoting, and anything that helps an affiliate decide. This is your space to sell.
* **FAQs** — add the questions affiliates commonly ask, like "How often are payouts?" Each becomes an expandable question-and-answer on your listing page. Add as many as you need and drag them into the order you want.

Good FAQs remove hesitation and cut down on questions you'd otherwise field one by one.

## Preview your listing

Before you publish, select **Preview** to see your listing exactly as an affiliate will. It's the quickest way to catch a missing image, a thin description, or a section you meant to finish. Make your edits, then preview again until it reads the way you want.

## Save and publish

You have two controls in the top bar:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Save Changes">
    Saves your work as a **Draft**. Nothing is public yet — this is safe to do as often as you like while you build.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish">
    Makes your listing **live** in the marketplace. To publish, your listing needs a filled-in body and an active marketplace license. Once live, the button becomes **Unpublish** if you ever need to take it down.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  If you publish without an active **marketplace license**, your work is saved as a draft and you're prompted to get one. See [Marketplace licenses](/docs/help-center/grow/marketplace/licenses).
