How to submit to PHP Weekly

  1. Open the PHP Weekly submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. 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.

  3. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse PHP Weekly (PHP and Laravel developers), not for search engines.

  4. 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 PHP Weekly

  • Send links to the address shown behind the 'email us' link on the home page (articles@phpweekly.com).
  • Articles, news and blog posts are the main format, so a tutorial built around your package fits well.
  • Issues are curated by hand, so keep the email short and explain why your link matters to PHP developers.

From PHP Weekly’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for newsletters that feature tools.

  • 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 two-sentence pitch written for that newsletter’s readers, not a press release
  • One concrete detail an editor can quote: a feature, a number from your own product or a use case
  • A short link to the exact page you want readers to land on
  • A budget and date range, if you’re considering a sponsored slot

Is PHP Weekly worth it?

Good for your SEO foundation

PHP Weekly 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: 39 (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.
  • 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.
