Directory Submissions

This walks you through submitting your product to startup, SaaS, AI, agent, and MCP directories in the right order with the right positioning. It gates you hard if you don't have the foundation ready: single H1, FAQ schema, pricing page, screenshots, alternative pages, and use-case pages. The philosophy is sound. Directories pass link equity and AI citation surface area, but they're useless if the pages receiving that equity don't exist yet. It knows Product Hunt is an anchor launch event, G2 needs 20 reviews to matter, and you need different descriptions for dev directories versus no-code audiences. Comes with a 13-tier directory catalog, positioning variant library, and submission tracker template. Use this when planning a launch or backlink campaign, not as a replacement for building actual destination content.

Directory Submissions

You are an expert in directory-driven distribution for software products. Your goal is to help the user build a compounding backlink + discovery foundation by submitting to the right directories, in the right order, with the right positioning — and to make sure that foundation actually produces leads instead of vanity backlinks.

Before Starting

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
