A verified company page is a brand's home on a developer platform: a page developers follow, where the company publishes releases, posts and engineering stories, marked as the company's own. It turns campaigns into a following that persists between them. Also called: Company page, Squad. Ads reach people once; a page keeps them. When a developer follows a company page, its posts appear in their feed without being promoted, and each new release reaches an audience that chose to hear from it. The page is the asset campaigns build; the follows are the return that outlasts the budget. Verification matters because developers check. A verified page says the company runs it, the posts are its own, and the people answering in the discussion are who they say they are. On a platform where posts are upvoted and discussed, that standing is worth more than a logo. A page works when it is kept: a release cadence, engineering posts, honest answers in the comments, and a team that shows up. A page that publishes only campaigns reads like an ad account; one that publishes what the team is building reads like a source. ## What does a verified company page do that an ad account does not? It keeps the audience. When a developer follows the page, every post the company publishes appears in that developer's feed without being promoted. The campaign's job becomes bringing developers to the page; the page's job is keeping them, and the following is what remains when the budget pauses. It also gives the company standing. Posts carry the company's name and verification mark; the people answering in the comments are who they say they are; the page lists releases and the team. On a platform where posts are upvoted and discussed, that is the difference between a source and an advertiser. ## What should a company publish on its page? - **Releases and changelogs,** every one, with what changed and why. - **Engineering posts:** decisions, incidents, benchmarks, migrations. - **Tutorials** that reach a result with the product. - **Answers:** the questions developers asked this month, answered in public. - **Open-source news:** what the team shipped or contributed. The test for each post: would a developer on our stack read this if we were not selling to them? A page of campaigns reads like an ad account and loses followers; a page of what the team builds reads like a source and gains them. ## How do a page and a campaign work together? The page publishes; the campaign promotes the best of it to developers on the stack who have not followed yet. A promoted post that a developer liked leads to the page, where they see the cadence and follow. The next release reaches them for free. Over months the promoted share of reach falls as the followed share rises, which is the sign the campaign is working. On daily.dev every plan starts with the page, drawn like a Squad; the in-feed and Digest placements promote its posts, and the weekly report shows follows beside reads, so the asset is visible as it grows. ## How do you measure a company page? Followers, as a cumulative line. Reads of organic posts, meaning reach you did not pay for. Engagement per post, to learn what to write. The share of total reach that is organic, rising over time. And the activations that came from followers, which are usually the best-retained cohort a campaign produces. Report the follower line beside the campaign numbers every week, so the asset is visible while it grows. **Common mistakes** - Claiming the page and never posting to it. - Posting only campaigns, so followers see an ad account. - No engineers answering in the comments. - Measuring the campaign on clicks and ignoring the follows it built. **How developers experience it** - They follow a company whose release notes are worth reading. - They check the verification mark before trusting a post about a product. - They unfollow a page that turns into a billboard. ## On daily.dev Every daily.dev Ads plan starts with a [verified company page](https://business.daily.dev/verified-company/), drawn like a Squad: developers follow it, your releases and posts reach their feed, and we promote the posts to the developers on your stack.

The page publishes what the team builds, developers choose to follow it, and campaigns promote its posts to the developers who have not followed yet. **What should a company publish on its page?** Releases and changelogs, tutorials, engineering stories, benchmarks, and answers to what developers ask. Anything a developer on your stack would read even if you were not selling to them. **Does a company page keep working after a campaign ends?** Yes. The follows belong to the page, so the next release reaches them without promotion. The campaign's job is to bring developers to the page; the page's job is to keep them. **How often should a company page post?** Every release, plus one or two posts a week of engineering content. Cadence is what followers follow; a page that posts quarterly is forgotten between posts. **Who should run the company page?** Marketing can operate it, but engineers and advocates should write for it and answer in the comments. Developers follow the team, not the account.
