SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Launching a product without a directory strategy wastes the easiest source of dofollow backlinks, domain rating growth, and AI-engine citations. This Skill turns scattered directory options into a sequenced, tiered submission plan with readiness checks, positioning variants, and review-generation playbooks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Readiness Assessment: A 9-question Phase 0 audit that blocks submission until landing pages, pricing, assets, and destination pages (alternatives, use cases, templates) are live. - Tiered Directory Catalog: Seven tiers covering Product Hunt, G2/Capterra, AI directories (TAAFT, Futurepedia), MCP registries, no-code directories, listicle outreach, and integration marketplaces, with DR and dofollow data. - Positioning Variants: Per-tier tagline, short, and long description templates so copy is never duplicated across directories. - Product Hunt & Reviews Playbooks: A 3-week PH warm-up timeline and the 10-in-30 G2 review protocol with report cutoff deadlines. - Use Case: A founder launching an AI SaaS asks for a launch plan and receives a readiness assessment, week-by-week submission batches, per-tier copy variants, a PH launch-day schedule, and a review outreach plan. ## 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about 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, demo video, and destination pages like competitor alternatives. Then submit in tiers, starting with Product Hunt and BetaList in launch week, followed by SaaS directories like G2 and SaaSHub, then AI directories if applicable.

What directories should AI products submit to?▼

AI products 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 agent capabilities, also list on Glama, APITracker, and the Linux Foundation MCP Registry.

When is the best time to launch on Product Hunt?▼

Launch at 12:01 AM Pacific Time on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday to maximize the 24-hour window. Weekend launches get 60-70% less traffic. Prepare for 3 weeks beforehand by warming up your account, creating an Upcoming page, and drafting launch assets.

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

Ten reviews is the threshold for appearing on G2 Grid reports. Use the 10-in-30 protocol: email 20 active users a direct review link, offer a modest thank-you like a gift card, and follow up once after five days to convert about half into reviewers.

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, AI-first architecture on AI directories, and ROI language on B2B review sites.

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 submit to a category where the product is not a genuine fit.
