How to submit to Curated
Open the Curated submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Have your assets ready
Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse Curated (Designers browsing references for product and marketing sites), not for search engines.
Wait for review
A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.
Tips for Curated
- Explain what makes the site worth studying; the form asks for it and a person reads every word.
- Paying only changes how soon you hear back, not the bar for acceptance.
- Tick 'Product is mine' if you are submitting your own site.
From Curated’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for design directories.
- Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
- A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
- Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
- 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
- The exact page you want the link to point to
- Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
- High-resolution screenshots or preview images (no blurry crops)
- A short loop or video if your product has motion
- Links to a Figma community file, Dribbble or Behance page if relevant
- Licence terms if you sell assets or templates
Is Curated worth it?
Good for your SEO foundation
Curated reviews listings by hand and the listing link we inspected was followed. That combination is what makes a directory link worth having for a new site.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 52 (strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
- A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
- There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
