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: A 9-question Phase 0 checklist that blocks submissions until landing pages, pricing, assets, and destination pages (alternatives, use cases, templates) are live. - Tiered Directory Catalog: 13 tiers covering launch platforms, SaaS directories, AI directories, MCP/agent registries, no-code directories, integration marketplaces, and niche verticals, with DR and dofollow data in references/directory-list.md. - Positioning Variants: Per-tier copy templates (tagline, 60-char short, 150-word long description, tags) from references/positioning-variations.md to avoid duplicate-content penalties. - Product Hunt Playbook: A 3-week prep timeline, launch-day execution rules (12:01 AM PT, Tue/Wed/Thu), and post-launch recap guidance. - Reviews Protocol: The 10-in-30 plan for reaching the 10-review G2 Grid threshold, plus KPI targets for DR, referring domains, and signups. - Use Case: A founder launching an AI SaaS in three weeks gets a full submission plan: tier mix, calendar-mapped PH prep, positioning copy per directory type, and a review-generation schedule. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to plan a directory submission campaign for your product launch, including tier selection, positioning variants, 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 (launch platforms, SaaS directories, AI directories), prepare per-tier positioning variants, batch submissions over 2-3 weeks, and track results in a spreadsheet.

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

Warm up your account for 2-3 weeks by commenting on daily launches, create an Upcoming page, and prepare gallery assets. Launch at 12:01 AM Pacific on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, reply to every comment quickly, and ask for feedback rather than upvotes.

Can I use the same description for every directory?▼

No. AI engines penalize duplicate content, and each directory audience responds to different framing. Lead with outcomes for startup directories, competitor-alternative framing for SaaS directories, and AI-first architecture for AI directories.

How many reviews do I need on G2 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 modest allowed incentive, and follow up once after five days.

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 is free.

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. Link equity needs converting destinations, and Tier 1 directories reject listings missing pricing, privacy policy, or real screenshots.
