How to submit to Startup Ranking
Open the Startup Ranking submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Create an account
Startup Ranking 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 Startup Ranking (Founders, investors and researchers tracking startups by country), not for search engines.
Wait, then check
We couldn’t confirm how listings are reviewed. Once yours is live, check the details and that the link points to the right page.
Tips for Startup Ranking
- Registration starts with validating your startup's URL, so use your main domain.
- The free profile's link is no-follow; only Premium gives a do-follow link.
- Cancelling Premium doesn't remove your listing, per the site's FAQ.
From Startup Ranking’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for 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
- Your stage (idea, beta, launched) and the year you started
- Founder names and a short founder story (2–3 sentences)
- Funding status, only if you share it publicly
- A launch or beta date if you are not live yet
Is Startup Ranking worth it?
Depends on the listing
Startup Ranking uses followed links on some listings and not others. Read the evidence above and check which kind your listing gets before you pay for anything.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 61 (strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #224,599: a mid-sized site, inside the top 500,000.
- There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.
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.
