# Email or snippet: which claim method should I choose?

Both methods give you full control of your profile; only the snippet method makes you a verified partner. Choose based on what you want:

**Email verification** is the fastest route into your dashboard: confirm a work email on your agency's domain and you can edit your profile immediately.

**The snippet method** (a small link to pickanagency.com placed on your site) does everything email does, plus it unlocks what verification is actually worth: the Verified badge buyers filter by, top-of-list ranking among agencies with reviews, a dofollow backlink from our domain to yours, monthly Google rating sync, and delivery of matched buyer briefs in full, free.

You can also do both in sequence: claim by email today, then add the snippet later from your dashboard to upgrade. The upgrade path is one click under "Get the Verified badge".
