  "description": "Three free traffic tiers (https://promoteindex.com/seo): (1) List your project for a public, indexable page and discovery by people and AI tools. (2) Publish the classic badge plus its listing link on the project's own website, then POST /api/v1/projects/{slug}/embed with header X-Edit-Key and JSON {embedUrl} (or MCP verify_project_embed with slug, editKey, embedUrl). We fetch the public page to verify both badge and link. Verified embeds join https://promoteindex.com/embedded and compete for four homepage spots. (3) With a verified embed and 5 votes from different voters, the project is highlighted ahead of other embeds. Within each group, most votes first; ties use the slug. Embeds are re-checked about hourly and disappear from the showcase if the badge or link is missing. The classic badge works before five votes; showcase badge designs and a followable Website link unlock at 5 votes from different voters even without an embed. Vote identities use a network/browser hash, not verified people; do not manufacture votes. Use GET /api/v1/embeds to discover current embedded projects. The benefit is added discovery and referral paths, not guaranteed rankings, traffic or AI recommendations. Paid links remain rel=\"sponsored noopener\"; a backlink is optional for a free listing.",
