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 backlink and discovery channel available to early-stage products. This Skill turns scattered directory knowledge into a sequenced, tiered submission plan that builds domain rating, referral traffic, and AI-engine citations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Readiness Assessment: Runs a 9-question Phase 0 audit to verify landing pages, assets, pricing, and destination pages exist before any submission. - Tiered Submission Planning: Selects from 13 tiers covering Product Hunt, SaaS directories, AI directories, MCP registries, review sites, and niche verticals, with per-tier positioning variants. - Product Hunt Playbook: Maps a 3-week prep timeline, launch-day execution rules, and post-launch follow-through for the anchor launch event. - Reviews Protocol: Implements the 10-in-30 G2/Capterra review acquisition plan with incentive and follow-up rules. - Use Case: A founder launching an AI SaaS in three weeks asks for a directory plan and receives a readiness assessment, tier selection, week-by-week submission batches, positioning copy per tier, and KPI targets for days 30 and 90. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a directory submission plan for your product launch, including tier selection, positioning variants, and a Product Hunt timeline.

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 confirming your landing pages, pricing, legal pages, and destination pages are live. Then select tiers by product type, prepare distinct positioning variants per tier, and batch submissions over three weeks with Product Hunt as the anchor event.

What is the best way to launch on Product Hunt?

Warm up your account for three weeks, launch at 12:01 AM Pacific on Tuesday through Thursday, and secure 50+ supporters in the first two hours. Ask for feedback instead of upvotes, reply to every comment within 30 minutes, and never message strangers.

Should I pay for a directory submission service?

No. Paid submission services typically target low-DR spam directories that dilute your backlink profile and risk Google spam penalties. Manual submission to quality tiered directories takes a few hours and produces far better results.

Can I use the same description for every directory?

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, and AI-first architecture for AI directories.

When should I list my product on G2 or Capterra?

List only when you can realistically gather 10 reviews, the threshold for Grid appearance. Use the 10-in-30 protocol: email 20 active users a direct review link, offer a small allowed incentive, and follow up once after five days.

What should I do after submitting to directories?

Verify each backlink is dofollow, then shift to destination pages like competitor alternatives and use-case pages, GEO optimization for AI citations, and ongoing community distribution. Track DR, referring domains, and signups weekly rather than submitting more directories.
