SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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 directory submissions into a structured, sequenced campaign instead of random one-off listings. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Readiness gating: A 9-question Phase 0 assessment blocks submissions until landing pages, pricing, assets, and destination pages (alternatives, use cases, templates) are live. - 13-tier directory catalog: From Product Hunt and BetaList to AI directories (TAAFT, Futurepedia), MCP registries, G2/Capterra review sites, and niche verticals, with DR and dofollow data per listing. - Positioning variant library: Per-tier tagline, short, and long description templates so copy is never duplicated across directories. - Product Hunt playbook: A 3-week warm-up timeline, launch-day execution rules, and post-launch recap steps. - Reviews protocol: The 10-in-30 method for reaching the G2 Grid threshold, plus KPI targets for day 30 and day 90. - Use Case: A founder launching an AI SaaS in three weeks gets a readiness check, a tiered submission schedule mapped to calendar dates, per-tier copy variants, and a G2 review drive plan. ## 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 confirming your pricing page, legal pages, screenshots, demo video, and destination pages are live. Then select tiers by product type, prepare per-tier positioning variants, and batch submissions using a tracker spreadsheet over weeks one through three.

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

How do I launch on Product Hunt successfully?▼

Warm up your account for three weeks by commenting on daily launches, create an Upcoming page two weeks out, and launch at 12:01 AM Pacific on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Ask for feedback instead of upvotes, reply to every comment within 30 minutes, and never DM strangers.

Can I use the same description for every directory?▼

No. AI engines cross-reference directories and penalize duplicate content, and each audience responds to different framing. Lead with outcomes for startup directories, competitor-alternative framing for SaaS directories, AI-first architecture for AI directories, and ROI language for B2B review sites.

When is it too early to list on G2 or Capterra?▼

Listings without reviews are effectively dead, and 10 reviews is the threshold for G2 Grid appearance. If you cannot identify roughly 20 active users to request reviews from, delay submission or claim the listing while running a review drive in parallel.

Should I pay for a directory submission service?▼

No. Paid mass-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 produces far better results.
