SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Launching a product without a directory strategy wastes the highest-leverage source of dofollow backlinks, domain rating growth, and AI-engine citations. This Skill turns scattered directory knowledge into a sequenced, tiered submission plan with readiness checks, positioning variants, and review-generation playbooks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Readiness Assessment: Runs a 9-question Phase 0 audit covering pricing pages, legal pages, assets, GEO-ready landing pages, and destination pages before any submission. - Tiered Directory Catalog: Organizes 300+ directories into 13 tiers (Product Hunt, G2/Capterra, TAAFT/Futurepedia, MCP registries, no-code, integration marketplaces) with DR values and dofollow status. - Product Hunt Playbook: Maps a 3-week prep timeline, launch-day execution rules (12:01 AM PT, Tue/Wed/Thu), and post-launch recap steps. - Reviews Protocol: Implements the 10-in-30 G2/Capterra review drive with direct-link emails and allowed incentives. - Use Case: A founder launching an AI SaaS in three weeks gets a readiness assessment, a week-by-week submission batch plan, per-tier positioning copy, and day-30/day-90 KPI targets. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to plan directory submissions for your product launch, including which directories to target, in what order, and with what positioning for each tier.

Frequently Asked Questions about directory-submissions

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan directory submissions for a product launch?

Start with a readiness assessment covering pricing page, legal pages, assets, and destination pages. Then select tiers by product type, prepare distinct positioning variants per tier, batch submissions over weeks 1-3, and track results in a spreadsheet.

How do I launch on Product Hunt successfully?

Warm up your account for 2-3 weeks by commenting on other launches, create an Upcoming page, then launch at 12:01 AM Pacific on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Secure 50+ supporters in the first two hours, reply to every comment quickly, and ask for feedback rather than upvotes.

Can I use the same description for every directory submission?

No. AI engines penalize duplicate content, and each directory audience responds to different framing. Lead with outcomes for startup directories, competitor-alternative framing for SaaS directories, AI-first architecture for AI directories, and ROI language for B2B review sites.

How many G2 reviews do I need before the listing matters?

Ten reviews is the threshold for G2 Grid appearance, so listings without reviews deliver little value. Use the 10-in-30 protocol: email 20 active users a direct review link, offer a modest allowed incentive like a $25 gift card, and follow up once.

Are paid directory submission services worth it?

No. Legitimate directories are free to submit to, and paid mass-submission services typically target low-DR spam directories that dilute your backlink profile and risk Google spam penalties. Manual submission to quality tiers takes a few hours.

When should I not submit to directories?

Do not submit before destination pages exist, including competitor alternative pages, use-case pages, and a pricing page. Backlinks need somewhere useful to land, and submitting prematurely burns the first-submission advantage on many directories.
