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 scattered directory submission work into a structured, tiered campaign with readiness checks, positioning variants, and review acquisition protocols. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Readiness Assessment: Runs a 9-question Phase 0 audit to verify landing pages, assets, and destination pages exist before any submission. - Tiered Submission Plans: Selects from 13 directory tiers (Product Hunt, G2, TAAFT, MCP registries, integration marketplaces) matched to product type, with per-tier positioning variants. - Product Hunt & Reviews Playbooks: Maps a 3-week PH launch timeline and the 10-in-30 G2/Capterra review protocol with report cutoff deadlines. - Use Case: An AI SaaS founder launching in three weeks gets a readiness audit, a week-by-week submission schedule across Tiers 1-4, per-tier copy variants, and KPI targets for day 30 and day 90. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a directory submission plan 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 distinct positioning variants per tier, and batch-submit while logging each listing in a tracker.

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

Begin three weeks early: warm up your account by commenting on daily launches, create an Upcoming page, and prepare gallery assets. Launch at 12:01 AM Pacific on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, secure 50+ supporters in the first two hours, and ask for feedback rather than upvotes.

Can I use the same description on every directory?▼

No. AI engines cross-reference directories and down-weight duplicate content, and each audience responds to different framing. Lead with outcomes on startup directories, competitor-alternative framing on SaaS directories, and AI-first architecture on AI directories.

Should I pay for a directory submission service?▼

No. Paid submission services typically blast low-quality directories with DR under 10, which dilutes your backlink profile and risks Google spam penalties. Manual submission to curated tiers takes a few hours and produces far more valuable links.

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

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

When should I not submit to directories yet?▼

Hold off if your product lacks a public pricing page, privacy policy, screenshots, or destination pages like competitor-alternative and use-case pages. Submitting before these exist wastes the first-submission advantage and sends link equity to pages that cannot convert.
