How it works
Four steps, one report
Directory submission is tedious form-filling. We do the forms, you get the report.
- 01
Niche matching
You tell us what you build. We pick directories that list products like yours: general startup lists, category directories and AI tool lists where they fit. Ones that don’t fit get skipped. - 02
Manual submission
A person fills in each form by hand and picks the right category every time. No bots. - 03
Live-link reportCSV
You get a CSV with every directory, its status and the live URL once your listing is published. - 04
Done in 5–7 business days
Submissions are finished within 5–7 business days. Some directories review slowly and publish later. The report marks those as submitted.

Honest expectations
What directory submission can and can’t do
Worth knowing before you pay anyone for this, us included.
- We guarantee submission, not acceptance.
- Every tier is submitted to at least the number of directories it lists. Each directory decides who it publishes.
- Links are a mix.
- Some directories give followed links, many use nofollow. Both can send visitors and put your product where people browse for tools.
- It’s a foundation, not a ranking guarantee.
- Directory listings help a new site get found and crawled. Rankings come from pages worth ranking, which is what Autopilot and Done for you work on.
- Timing is up to the directories.
- Some publish within days, some take weeks. Your report shows where each one stands.

FAQ
Directory submission questions
Which directories do you submit to?
It depends on your niche. We match from general startup directories, category directories and AI tool lists, and skip ones that don't fit your product. Your report names every directory we submitted to.
Are the links followed?
Some are, many aren't. Directories set their own link policies. Expect a mix of followed and nofollow links, and see exactly which is which in your report.
How long does it take?
Submissions are finished within 5–7 business days of payment. Directories publish on their own schedules, so some listings go live later.
Can I get a refund if a directory doesn't accept me?
Directory submission: we guarantee submission, not acceptance. Each tier is submitted to at least the number of directories it lists. Whether a directory publishes you is its decision.
What do I need to give you?
Your site, a short and a longer description, your logo, a few screenshots and your category. We'll ask for anything missing after you order.
Will this get me ranking on Google?
Not on its own. Directory links are a foundation: they help a new site get discovered and crawled. Rankings come from content and pages that match what people search, which is what Autopilot and Done for you are for.
Are paid directories' fees included?
No. Every tier covers the free listings, and that's where most of the list is. Some strong directories only list you for a fee (usually $19–$49), so there's an optional paid listings budget at checkout: $49 (about 2 listings), $99 (about 4 listings), $199 (about 8 listings). We pick the paid ones that fit your niche, pay their fees at cost with no markup, and itemise every fee in your report. Whatever we don't spend is refunded. VAT, where it applies, is added on top of the budget at checkout, so the whole budget goes to listing fees.
How do I pay?
By card, at checkout. Pick a tier below, enter your site and email, and pay on the Dodo Payments checkout page. Work starts once it's paid.
