Smart Filtering and Search

This feature ensures you instantly surface the most relevant platforms for your product, saving hours of manual research.

Managed "Auto Submit" Service

Go beyond DIY with our hands-free submission service. We manually submit your product to a network of 30, 60, or 100+ pre-vetted directories. This done-for-you service accelerates your reach, ensures professional and consistent listings, and builds a diverse set of high-quality backlinks to strengthen your domain authority, all while freeing your team to focus on product and users.

Use Cases of LaunchDirectories.com

Streamlining a SaaS Product Launch

A SaaS founder preparing for launch can use LaunchDirectories.com to identify the top 50 high-DR, software-specific directories offering dofollow links. By filtering for "SaaS" and "High DR," they can create a prioritized submission calendar, ensuring their tool gains immediate visibility in front of targeted early adopters and secures valuable SEO backlinks to boost search rankings from the start.

Building SEO Backlinks for an AI Tool

An indie hacker who has built a new AI tool needs to build domain authority quickly. They can use the platform to filter for "AI Directories" and "Dofollow" links. This allows them to systematically submit to niche-relevant platforms that pass SEO link equity, creating a strong backlink foundation that improves their tool's credibility and search engine performance in a competitive niche.

Executing a Cost-Effective Launch Strategy

A bootstrapped startup with a limited marketing budget can filter directories by "Free" submission cost. This enables them to plan a comprehensive launch across numerous platforms without upfront costs, maximizing initial exposure and user acquisition. They can later use the "Freemium" filter to identify strategic paid upgrades for additional promotion.

Saving Time with Managed Submissions

A busy startup agency managing launches for multiple clients can leverage the "Auto Submit" service. Instead of manually submitting each client to dozens of sites, they can purchase a package, provide the product details once, and let the service handle the tedious work. This ensures consistent, high-quality submissions for every client, improving results and agency scalability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LaunchDirectories.com and how can it help my startup?

LaunchDirectories.com is a curated database and strategic platform designed to help startups, SaaS products, and digital tools get discovered. It helps by providing a centralized, data-rich list of over 100 places to launch your product. Instead of searching the web aimlessly, you get key metrics like Domain Rating and backlink type to make smart decisions, saving you time and ensuring your launch efforts generate real visibility and SEO backlinks.

What is Domain Rating (DR) and why is it important for SEO?

Domain Rating (DR) is a metric developed by Ahrefs that scores a website's backlink strength and authority on a scale from 0 to 100. A higher DR indicates a more powerful, trustworthy site in the eyes of search engines like Google. Submitting your startup to directories with a high DR can provide more valuable backlinks, which are crucial for improving your own site's search engine rankings and organic visibility.

How does the 'Auto Submit' service work, and what are its benefits?

Our 'Auto Submit' service is a done-for-you solution. You select a package (e.g., 30, 60, or 100+ directories), provide your product details, media, and description. Our team then manually submits your listing to each vetted directory in our network. The benefits are significant: it saves you dozens of hours of manual work, ensures professional and consistent submissions, and accelerates the build-up of a diverse, high-quality backlink profile to boost your SEO.

What is the difference between dofollow and nofollow links, and which should I prioritize?

A "dofollow" link allows search engines to follow the link and pass authority (SEO "link juice") to your website, directly helping your rankings. A "nofollow" link includes an attribute that tells search engines not to pass that authority. You should prioritize dofollow links for building domain authority, but a healthy backlink profile includes a mix of both. High-authority nofollow links from sites like Product Hunt can drive significant referral traffic and credibility.
