How to submit to FreshStart
Open the FreshStart 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 FreshStart (Readers interested in Pakistani startups and small tech businesses), 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 FreshStart
- Keep the description under the 100-word limit the form asks for
- Upload a logo because the directory is a visual list
- Many listed companies look old, so check your entry actually went live after applying
From FreshStart’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for regional startup 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
- Where the company is registered and where the team is based
- Founding year, team size and stage
- A description in the local language, if the directory publishes in one
- Links to local press, accelerator or programme pages, if you have them
Is FreshStart worth it?
Good for discovery, not link equity
Links from FreshStart listings carry rel="nofollow", so they pass little or no ranking value. Submit if its audience matches yours: the value is visitors and being findable where people browse.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 5 (very low). 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.
- Free to list, so the only cost is your time.
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.
