SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manually submitting products to online directories is time-consuming, unstrategic, and often yields low-quality backlinks, rejected listings, or missed high-intent discovery opportunities. This Skill eliminates that friction by providing a structured, tiered workflow, pre-built positioning templates, and tracking tools to turn directory submissions into a compounding source of backlinks, product discovery, and AI engine citations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tiered Directory Catalog: Access a curated list of 100+ directories organized by launch phase, domain rating, and dofollow status, including flagship launch platforms, SaaS directories, AI tool directories, MCP registries, and integration marketplaces.
  • Positioning Variant Library: Pre-built description templates tailored to each directory type (startup, SaaS, AI, no-code, dev, B2B review) to avoid duplicate content penalties and match audience intent.
  • Readiness Assessment: A 9-point checklist to verify all required landing pages, assets, and social proof are in place before submitting, preventing wasted submission efforts.
  • Product Hunt Launch Playbook: A 3-week prep timeline, launch day execution rules, and post-launch recap framework to maximize Product Hunt visibility and algorithmic distribution.
  • Review Protocol: The 10-in-30 G2/Capterra review playbook to hit the 10-review threshold for Grid appearance in 30 days, including incentive guidelines and follow-up cadence.
  • GEO Optimization Tactics: Built-in guidance to optimize destination pages for AI citation, including heading hierarchy, FAQ schema, and structured data requirements.
  • Use Case Example: A founder launching a new AI customer support tool can use this Skill to prioritize Tier 1 launch directories, craft unique positioning for AI directories vs B2B review sites, and track submission progress via the included CSV tracker.

Quick Start
