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 directory submissions into a structured, tiered campaign that builds domain rating, referral traffic, and AI citations instead of vanity listings. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Readiness Assessment: A 9-point Phase 0 checklist (pricing page, screenshots, FAQ schema, destination pages) that blocks submissions until the landing pages can actually convert the link equity. - Tiered Directory Catalog: 13 tiers covering Product Hunt, G2/Capterra, AI directories like TAAFT and Futurepedia, MCP registries, integration marketplaces, and niche verticals, each with DR, dofollow status, and submission notes. - Positioning Variants: Per-tier copy templates (tagline, 60-char short description, 150-word long description, tags) so every listing uses distinct framing that AI engines do not penalize as duplicate content. - Use Case: A founder launching an AI SaaS tool gets a week-by-week submission plan: Product Hunt anchor launch with a 3-week warm-up timeline, 50 Tier 2 SaaS listings, 40 AI directory submissions, and a 10-in-30 G2 review protocol. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a directory submission plan for your product, including readiness assessment, tier selection, and a Product Hunt launch timeline.
