How to submit to Dang.ai
Open the Dang.ai submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Create an account
Dang.ai asks you to sign up before you can submit.
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 Dang.ai (People comparing AI tools by category), not for search engines.
Decide on the link back
They ask for a link or badge on your site. Decide whether you’re happy to add it before you submit.
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 Dang.ai
- The free tier only stays live while your backlink to dang.ai stays live, so don't remove it later.
- The backlink must be crawlable: avoid placing it where JavaScript or a login hides it.
- Paid tiers skip the backlink requirement and cut review from up to 4 weeks to 2-4 days.
- Outbound 'View tool' links use an l.dang.ai short-link redirect, so don't expect a direct link to your site.
From Dang.ai’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for AI tool 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
- The main task your AI does, in one plain sentence (e.g. “turns podcasts into short clips”)
- Your pricing tiers, and whether there is a free plan or free trial
- Which models or providers you use, if you say so publicly
- 2–3 concrete use cases, each one sentence
Is Dang.ai worth it?
Good for your SEO foundation
Dang.ai 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: 82 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #238,844: a mid-sized site, inside the top 500,000.
- 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.
- They ask for a link back to their site. One reciprocal link is common, but Google’s spam policies list excessive link exchanges as a problem, so don’t do this for every directory.
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.
