SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Launching a product without directory coverage leaves backlinks, domain rating, and AI-engine citations on the table. This Skill turns directory submissions into a structured, tiered campaign so link equity lands on pages that actually convert. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Readiness Assessment: A 9-question Phase 0 checklist that blocks submission until landing pages, pricing, legal pages, assets, and destination pages are live. - 13-Tier Directory Catalog: A full reference of directories organized by tier (Product Hunt, G2, TAAFT, MCP registries, integration marketplaces, and more) with DR, dofollow status, and submission notes. - Positioning Variants: Per-tier copy templates (tagline, short and long descriptions, tags) so each directory gets distinct framing instead of duplicate content. - Product Hunt & Reviews Playbooks: A 3-week PH prep timeline, launch-day execution rules, and the 10-in-30 G2/Capterra review protocol. - Use Case: A founder launching an AI SaaS asks for a directory plan and receives a readiness assessment, tier selection, week-by-week submission batches, positioning copy per tier, and a tracker CSV. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a directory submission plan for your product launch, including tier selection, positioning variants, and a Product Hunt prep timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions about marketing-directory-submissions

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I submit my product to directories for backlinks?▼

First pass a readiness check: live pricing page, privacy policy, logo assets, screenshots, and destination pages like competitor alternatives. Then submit in tiers, starting with Product Hunt and BetaList in launch week, followed by SaaS and AI directories in weeks 1-3.

What directories should a SaaS product be listed on?▼

Core SaaS directories include AlternativeTo, SaaSHub, G2, Capterra, GetApp, SourceForge, and Slashdot. AI-native products should add TAAFT, Futurepedia, and Toolify, while products with integrations should target the Zapier, HubSpot, and Slack marketplaces.

How do I launch on Product Hunt successfully?▼

Start a 3-week warm-up by commenting on other launches, create an Upcoming page, and prepare gallery assets and a first comment. Launch Tuesday through Thursday at 12:01 AM Pacific, reply to every comment quickly, and ask for feedback rather than upvotes.

How many G2 reviews do I need before my listing matters?▼

Ten reviews is the threshold for appearing on G2 Grid reports. The recommended approach is 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 use the same description on every directory?▼

No. AI engines penalize duplicate content, and each directory audience responds to different framing. Lead with outcomes on startup directories, competitor-alternative framing on SaaS directories, and AI-first architecture on AI directories.

When should I not submit to directories?▼

Do not submit before destination pages exist, since backlinks need somewhere useful to land. Also skip spam directories with DR under 10, avoid paid submission services, and never force a listing into a category where the product is not a genuine fit.
