Genuinely good for

support teams past the point where a shared inbox works, who need routing, a help centre and reporting in one place and have the volume to justify per-agent pricing

Work at Zendesk? This page is yours the moment you claim it.

Write your own description and it appears at the top of this page, in your words, free — no fee during beta and no strings. What does not change: our research stays exactly where it is, underneath, and you cannot edit it. That is the point of the page. Two honest caveats before you bother: our audience is still modest and growing, and the outbound link is nofollow ugc, so this is not an SEO play.

We have pre-filled the name, site and category we already have on file, so the only thing left to write is the description. A claimed page also drops the noindex we keep on research-only pages.
