How to submit to LaunchIt
Open the LaunchIt submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Create an account
LaunchIt 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 LaunchIt (Founders and makers of early-stage startups; the site says it has 1,376 newsletter subscribers), 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 LaunchIt
- Free Basic launches need a link to LaunchIt on your site before they're approved; Premium removes that requirement.
- Premium lets you pick your launch date and guarantees home page placement that day.
- Fill in the story and screenshots, since the listing page is permanent and shows up in the weekly and monthly leaderboards.
From LaunchIt’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for product launch platforms.
- 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
- A chosen launch date, with time blocked to reply to comments
- A maker comment: why you built it and what feedback you want
- Gallery images or a short demo video
- An optional launch-day offer for that platform’s users
Is LaunchIt worth it?
Good for your SEO foundation
LaunchIt 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: 46 (moderate). 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.
- 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.
