Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse SelectSoftware Reviews (HR, people-ops and talent acquisition leaders buying HR software), not for search engines.

Tips for SelectSoftware Reviews
- Their own blog says fewer than about 1 in 10 vendors who ask get into the buyer guides, so apply with proof of customer outcomes.
- Only HR and recruiting products fit; other B2B tools will not be considered.
- If editorial inclusion is not possible, their newsletter and pay-per-lead syndication reach the same HR audience.
From SelectSoftware Reviews’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for software review sites.
- 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 company email on your own domain (most review sites verify it)
- Company details: legal name, founding year, headquarters, team size
- A short list of real customers you can ask for an honest review
- Screenshots and a pricing summary for the profile
Is SelectSoftware Reviews worth it?
Good for discovery, not link equity
Links from SelectSoftware Reviews listings carry rel="sponsored", 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: 75 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #210,864: a mid-sized site, inside the top 500,000.
- 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.
