The Index Desk · Seal Licensing

License your ranking. Say it everywhere.

If your brand ranks top-3 on any Index, that claim is worth money in your marketing — and using it accurately requires a license. The Ranked Seal license grants 12 months of commercial use: ads, website, sales decks, property collateral.

Direct answer: $7,500/yr per index seal, top-3 brands only, current edition only. The license buys the right to say what the table already says — it cannot buy the ranking, and it lapses automatically if a re-score drops you from the top 3 (pro-rated credit toward the next edition, no refunds of position).

Included

The official seal artwork (“#1 on the US50 — The Sales Traveler, 2026” style) · usage guidelines · a verification link to your entry · renewal priority for the next edition.

The rules, published

Current edition and exact rank only · label must include the year · misuse or post-drop use = license revoked and noted on the entry. Scores are governed by /governance/; the seal desk never touches them.

License your seal

Charter rates · locked by buying now

Ranked Seal license: $7,500 now → $12,500 from July 1, 2027. Today's price is the charter rate, held until the first annual re-score edition. Buy at charter and your rate is grandfathered for every uninterrupted renewal. Increases are announced here first — never invoiced retroactively. The step-up isn't a discount trick; it's the published cost of the desk's growing record.
