SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Launching a product without a directory strategy wastes the highest-leverage backlink and discovery channel available, and submitting with the wrong positioning or before destination pages exist burns first-submission advantages and produces zero leads. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Readiness Assessment: Runs a 9-question Phase 0 checklist that hard-blocks submissions until landing pages, pricing, assets, and destination pages are live. - Tiered Submission Planning: Selects from 13 directory tiers (Product Hunt, G2, TAAFT, MCP registries, integration marketplaces) with per-tier positioning variants and batch submission order. - Product Hunt & Reviews Playbooks: Maps a 3-week PH prep timeline to calendar dates and runs the 10-in-30 G2/Capterra review protocol. - Use Case: An AI SaaS founder launching in 3 weeks gets a readiness audit, a week-by-week submission schedule across Tier 1–4 directories, distinct copy variants per tier, and KPI targets for day 30 and day 90. ## 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, assets, and destination pages, then select tiers by product type: Tier 1 launch platforms like Product Hunt, Tier 2 SaaS directories like G2 and SaaSHub, and Tier 3 AI directories like TAAFT. Batch submissions weekly and track results in a spreadsheet.

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

Begin a 3-week warm-up by commenting on daily launches, create an Upcoming page two weeks out, and launch at 12:01 AM Pacific on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Secure 50+ supporters in the first two hours, reply to every comment within 30 minutes, and ask for feedback rather than upvotes.

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

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.

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

Ten reviews is the threshold for G2 Grid appearance, so listings without reviews deliver little value. Run a 10-in-30 protocol: email 20 active users a direct review link, offer a permitted small incentive like a $25 gift card, and follow up once after five days.

Are paid directory submission services worth it?▼

No. Legitimate directories are free to submit to, and paid mass-submission services typically target low-DR spam directories that dilute your backlink profile and risk Google spam penalties. Manual submission to quality tiered directories takes a few hours per batch.

When should I not submit to directories?▼

Do not submit before destination pages exist, including competitor alternative pages, use-case pages, and a pricing page. Backlinks pointing at a generic homepage waste the link equity, and submitting to directories where the product is not a genuine fit gets rejected by moderators.
