How to submit to ScotlandIS

  1. Open the ScotlandIS submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Create an account

    ScotlandIS asks you to sign up before you can submit.

  3. 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.

  4. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse ScotlandIS (Scottish tech companies, public bodies and partners across the Scottish digital sector), not for search engines.

  5. 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 ScotlandIS

  • Send case studies and news; members' content is shared with a network of 7,000+ organisations
  • Join the cyber or data clusters if you work in those areas

From ScotlandIS’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 ScotlandIS worth it?

We couldn’t verify the link

We didn’t find a live listing we could inspect, so we don’t know whether ScotlandIS links are followed. Judge it on audience and effort, and check your own listing’s link once it’s live.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Listing costs money. Pay for the audience, not the link: Google’s spam policies treat buying links that pass ranking value as a link scheme.

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.
