How to submit to WebCatalog
Open the WebCatalog submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Create an account
WebCatalog 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 WebCatalog (Desktop users looking to run web apps as standalone apps), 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 WebCatalog
- You only need the app's name and URL to submit; they set up the listing after review.
- Verify ownership in the Developer Console to edit the page and unlock analytics.
- You do not have to be the developer to submit, but verification is required to manage it.
From WebCatalog’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 WebCatalog worth it?
Good for discovery, not link equity
Links from WebCatalog listings carry rel="nofollow", 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: 59 (strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #51,050: an established site, inside the top 100,000.
- A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
- Free to list, so the only cost is your time.
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.
