Claiming ownership of a site already present

Do you find one of your sites already listed on the marketplace, but under an organization other than yours? You can claim ownership of it directly from your publisher space.

Starting an ownership claim

From the "My sites" page, a dedicated button opens an ownership request popup offering you two methods to prove that the site belongs to you.

The automatic method, instant

You place a specific text file provided by the platform at the root of your site, so that it's publicly accessible online, then you trigger the verification. The system looks for this file directly online: if it finds it, ownership of the site is transferred immediately to your organization, with no further validation.

The manual method, with validation

If you can't place a file, you instead provide proof: a domain name certificate, or a screenshot from your host showing that the domain is registered under your name. Unlike the automatic method, this request isn't processed instantly: it goes into pending status and must be validated by the SEO Jungle team. As long as a request is pending on a given site, you cannot submit a new one for that same site.

The decision by email

Once the manual request is reviewed, you receive an email with the decision. If accepted, the site is officially attached to your organization and becomes manageable from your publisher space. If rejected, the email tells you why.

What this process doesn't cover

Claiming ownership of a site only concerns that specific site. There is no feature to transfer ownership of an entire organization (with its history, offers, and payments) from one account to another — see transferring a site or merging two accounts for these special cases.
