SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Launching a product without a backlink and discovery foundation leaves it invisible to search engines, AI answer engines, and in-market buyers browsing directories. This Skill turns scattered directory submission into a structured, tiered campaign with readiness gates, positioning variants, and measurable KPIs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Readiness Assessment: Runs a 9-question Phase 0 audit (pricing page, screenshots, FAQ schema, destination pages) and blocks submission until the foundation is ready. - Tiered Directory Catalog: Selects from 13 tiers covering Product Hunt, SaaS directories (G2, Capterra, SaaSHub), AI directories (TAAFT, Futurepedia), MCP/agent registries, and niche verticals via references/directory-list.md. - Positioning Variants: Generates per-tier taglines, short and long descriptions, and tag sets from references/positioning-variations.md so no duplicate content is submitted. - Product Hunt Playbook: Maps the 3-week warm-up timeline, launch-day execution at 12:01 AM PT, and post-launch recap steps. - Reviews Protocol: Runs the 10-in-30 G2/Capterra review drive to reach the 10-review Grid threshold. - Use Case: A founder launching an AI SaaS in three weeks gets a readiness check, a week-by-week submission batch plan, per-tier copy variants, a PH launch timeline, and day-30/day-90 KPI targets. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to plan a directory submission campaign for your product launch, including readiness assessment, tier selection, 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 covering pricing page, screenshots, FAQ schema, and destination pages. Then select tiers: Product Hunt as the launch-week anchor, SaaS directories like G2 and SaaSHub, and AI directories like TAAFT if applicable, batched over three weeks.

What directories should AI tools submit to?

AI tools should target There's An AI For That, Futurepedia, Toolify, and Future Tools as flagship AI directories, plus mid-tier options like aitools.inc and AIStage. If the product exposes MCP servers or agents, Glama and the Linux Foundation MCP Registry are high-intent additions.

Can I use the same description for every directory submission?

No. AI engines cross-reference directories and penalize duplicate content, and each audience responds to different framing. Prepare distinct variants per tier: outcome-led for startup directories, alternative framing for SaaS directories, and AI-first architecture for AI directories.

How do I launch on Product Hunt for the first time?

Begin a 3-week warm-up by commenting on daily launches, create an Upcoming page two weeks out, and prepare gallery images and first comments a week ahead. Launch at 12:01 AM Pacific on Tuesday through Thursday, secure 50+ supporters in the first two hours, and ask for feedback rather than upvotes.

Is it worth listing on G2 with only a few customers?

A G2 listing without reviews has little value since 10 reviews is the threshold for Grid appearance. Wait until you can run the 10-in-30 protocol: email 20 active users a direct review link, offer a modest allowed incentive, and follow up once after five days.

Should I pay for a directory submission service?

No. Paid submission services typically mass-submit to low-DR spam directories that dilute your backlink profile and risk Google spam penalties. Manual submission to quality tiered directories with proper positioning takes a few hours and produces durable link equity.
