List your FBA prep center.
fbaprepfinder is a curated, manually verified directory. We list prep centers that clear 4 specific checks before going live. Operators update their own details directly via the claim-this-listing flow. We run automated liveness checks and re-verify on user reports. Verified listings are free, and nothing you pay us can change whether you get listed, how you are verified, or where you rank. We review applications within about 2 weeks; recent ones have taken 1-3 days.
We turn down most applicants. Read the disqualifiers below before you write to us.
Already listed? Claim it. Featured is optional.
Claim your listing, free. Find your center in the directory and use the "Claim this listing" button on its profile. A claimed listing keeps its own details current, and its dashboard lists the seller requests we shortlist it for.
Featured, an optional paid upgrade. A Featured listing sits above the standard list on the pages where Featured appears, clearly labeled: "Featured since" plus the month you start, then "Paid placement; editorial verification unchanged." When a seller on its shortlist agreed on our match form to share their contact details, a Featured center's referral notice carries the seller's name, email, company and website. Featured never changes who we shortlist, how we verify you, or your editorial rank.
The checkout page shows the price and the money-back terms before anything is charged, and you can cancel anytime.
What we verify.
Every listing on the site is checked against all 4 of these before going live, and flagged on its profile if it later fails one. After listing, operators update their details directly through the claim-this-listing flow on their profile. We run automated liveness checks and re-verify any time a user reports an issue.
- 01
Business operating > 12 months
State business registry check, LinkedIn-confirmed founders, and a first listing on a competing prep directory dated no later than 12 months before your application.
- 02
FDA registration confirmed from your documents
If you claim FDA registration (required for facilities that pack or hold food or dietary supplements), send the registration confirmation FDA issued to you. Food facility registrations are not publicly searchable, so a claim we cannot confirm stays your statement and is not printed as fact.
- 03
Website returns 200 + matches Amazon-FBA keywords
Your domain resolves, your homepage returns HTTP 200, and your site's own visible text names your Amazon FBA prep service (Amazon, FBA or FNSKU). General prep-services or 3PL wording alone doesn't qualify, and neither do hidden page tags.
- 04
Manual editor review on listing + on user reports
A human reads your listing before publication and cross-checks against seller forums and complaints. We re-review any time a seller reports an issue, and automated liveness checks flag a dropped site between reviews. The listing flips to flagged at the first credible red flag.
We will turn you down if any of these are true.
We share them up front so operators don't waste their time or ours.
- Operating less than 12 months under the same business name.
- No working email or contact form anywhere on the website.
- Website is a single-page form with no FBA-specific copy.
- Reddit, BBB, or seller-forum complaints about lost inventory within the last 6 months, with no public response.
- A 3PL with no priced FBA prep line at all. Full-service 3PLs that publish a real prep offer are listed and labeled Full 3PL on /fba-prep-3pl/; they are not ranked on the editorial prep-specialist list.
Three steps to a verified listing.
Submit your URL
Fill out the form below with your business name, website URL, year founded, primary services, and headquarters city, region, and country. Everything except the required fields just helps us triage.
Complete verification
We review applications within about 2 weeks; recent ones have taken 1-3 days. We email you if anything fails; most clarifications resolve in 1 email. We don't ghost; if you don't hear from us, write us again.
Your listing goes live
On verification, your profile publishes at /prep-centers/[your-slug]/ with a freshness badge dated to your most recent check. You appear in city, state, and service pages relevant to your offering.
What a listing actually delivers.
Inbound seller traffic. The site launched in May 2026. Sellers sent 18 match requests in September 2026. Each request is now hand-matched to the verified centers that fit it best (usually 5 to 7), and every shortlisted center gets a referral notice describing what the seller is looking for. When the seller asks to be contacted directly, a Featured center on that shortlist also receives their contact details; paying never changes who we shortlist. No exclusivity, no revenue share.
A full profile page. Name, address, phone, email, hours, services list, certifications, capacity, pricing tier, last-verified date, and a verification log table. LocalBusiness JSON-LD with your geo coordinates emitted server-side.
Appearances in geo pages. Your listing shows up in city, state, and service-type pages relevant to your operation. As we publish more geo pages, your listing flows into them automatically.
A trust signal we don't fake. Stale listings get visibly flagged. Centers that fail re-verification get a visible flag on their profile, and a business that has closed comes off the directory. We don't pretend everyone is verified forever.
What it costs.
Verified Listing tier: $0. A full profile page with NAP, services, capacity, certifications, and a freshness badge. No charge to list, no charge to maintain. The only ongoing requirement is staying current on re-verification.
Featured placement: for sale, and always labeled. Listed operators can pay for a Featured slot. It is disclosed on every page where it appears, flagged at the entry, and it never buys a rank position, a shortlist pick, or a verification outcome. Beyond the labeled placement, Featured changes only what a shortlisted center receives afterwards: the seller's details, when the seller asked to be contacted. Getting listed stays free and stays editorial. We don't accept affiliate commissions from listed centers.
