SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Launching a product without a directory strategy leaves backlinks, domain rating growth, 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: Runs a 9-question Phase 0 audit and blocks submissions until landing pages, pricing, assets, and destination pages are live. - Tiered Directory Catalog: Provides 13 tiers of directories (Product Hunt, G2, TAAFT, MCP registries, integration marketplaces) with DR values, dofollow status, and submission timing. - Positioning Variants: Generates per-tier description variants (tagline, 60-char short, 150-word long) so listings avoid duplicate-content penalties from AI engines. - 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 incentive and follow-up rules. - Use Case: An AI SaaS founder three weeks from launch gets a readiness check, a tier mix, calendar-mapped PH prep, positioning copy per tier, and day-30/day-90 KPI targets. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to plan directory submissions 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 by product type, prepare per-tier positioning variants, batch submissions over 2-3 weeks, and track results in a submission spreadsheet.

How do I launch on Product Hunt for the first time?▼

Begin a 3-week warm-up: comment on 3 launches daily, create an Upcoming page, and prepare gallery assets. Launch at 12:01 AM Pacific on Tuesday through Thursday, secure 50+ supporters in the first 2 hours, and ask for feedback rather than upvotes.

Can I use the same description for every directory?▼

No. AI engines cross-reference directories and penalize duplicate content. Each tier needs a distinct framing: outcome-led for startup directories, alternative framing for SaaS directories, AI-first for AI directories, and ROI language for review sites.

Should I pay for a directory submission service?▼

No. Paid submission services typically target 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.

How many G2 reviews do I need before listing is worthwhile?▼

Ten reviews is the threshold for G2 Grid appearance, so listings without reviews deliver little value. Use the 10-in-30 protocol: email 20 active users a direct review link, offer a small allowed incentive, and follow up once after 5 days.

When should I not submit to directories yet?▼

Hold off if your product lacks a public pricing page, privacy policy, screenshots, demo video, or destination pages like competitor alternatives and use-case pages. Backlinks need conversion-ready destinations, and premature submissions burn first-submission advantages.
