From startupmag.de’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 startupmag.de worth it?
Good for your SEO foundation
startupmag.de 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: 36 (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.
- 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.
