How to submit to Launching Next
Open the Launching Next 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 Launching Next (Startup enthusiasts, founders and idea hunters), 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 Launching Next
- Submissions are reviewed daily and you only get an email if you're published, so don't expect a rejection notice.
- The form asks about your planned marketing spend and your own details; these aren't published.
- Use the $99 upgrade only if timing matters; the free route still gets reviewed.
From Launching Next’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for 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
- Your stage (idea, beta, launched) and the year you started
- Founder names and a short founder story (2–3 sentences)
- Funding status, only if you share it publicly
- A launch or beta date if you are not live yet
Is Launching Next worth it?
Good for discovery, not link equity
Links from Launching Next 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: 54 (strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #986,546: a smaller site, near the end of the top 1 million.
- 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.
