How to submit to SoftGuide
Open the SoftGuide 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 SoftGuide (German-speaking SMBs and enterprises looking for business and industry software), 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 SoftGuide
- Content is in German; prepare German product descriptions and feature lists.
- Industry-specific software fits especially well because the directory is organised by sector.
- Request an offer first; they check whether your product qualifies before quoting.
From SoftGuide’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for SaaS 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
- A link to your public pricing page and your trial or free-plan terms
- A list of integrations (the names only, one per line)
- Who the product is for: team size, role or industry
- A support or contact email that someone actually reads
Is SoftGuide worth it?
We couldn’t verify the link
We didn’t find a live listing we could inspect, so we don’t know whether SoftGuide 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.
- Tranco rank #660,360: a smaller site, near the end of the top 1 million.
- 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.
