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 and AI answer engines. This Skill turns directory submissions into a structured campaign: readiness checks, tiered directory selection, per-tier positioning variants, Product Hunt launch execution, and review generation on G2 and Capterra. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Readiness Assessment: Runs a 9-question Phase 0 audit (pricing page, assets, destination pages, GEO readiness) and blocks submission until hard requirements are met. - Tiered Directory Catalog: Selects from 13 tiers covering Product Hunt, SaaS directories, AI directories, MCP registries, no-code directories, integration marketplaces, and niche verticals, with DR and dofollow data in references/directory-list.md. - Positioning Variants: Generates distinct taglines, short and long descriptions per directory type from references/positioning-variations.md to avoid duplicate-content penalties. - Product Hunt Playbook: Maps a 3-week prep timeline, launch-day execution rules, and post-launch recap steps. - Reviews Protocol: Implements the 10-in-30 G2/Capterra review drive with direct review links and allowed incentives. - Use Case: A founder launching an AI SaaS in three weeks gets a readiness assessment, a week-by-week submission batch plan across Tiers 1-4, per-tier copy variants, a Product Hunt calendar, 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, legal pages, assets, and destination pages. Then select tiers: Product Hunt and BetaList for launch week, SaaS directories like AlternativeTo and SaaSHub next, plus AI directories if the product is AI-native.

What directories should an AI product 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 agents, also list on Glama and the Linux Foundation MCP Registry.

Can I use the same description for every directory submission?▼

No. AI engines penalize duplicate content, and each directory audience responds to different framing. Startup directories lead with outcome, SaaS directories with competitor-alternative positioning, AI directories with AI-first architecture, and B2B review sites with ROI.

How many reviews does a G2 listing need to be useful?▼

Ten reviews is the threshold for G2 Grid appearance, so a zero-review listing provides little value. The 10-in-30 protocol asks 20 active users via personal email with a direct review link, optionally offering a small allowed incentive like a $25 gift card.

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 directories with proper positioning takes a few hours and is free.

When should I not submit to Product Hunt?▼

Do not launch without a warm audience, destination pages, or the 3-week account warm-up. Avoid weekends, which get 60-70% less traffic, and never ask for upvotes since the algorithm penalizes it; ask for feedback instead.
