We built a tool that lists your startup on 300+ directories (manual, not bots ๐)
Hey makers ๐,
Iโve been working with early-stage startups for a while, and I kept seeing the same problem:
After launching on Product Hunt, traffic flatlines. ๐จ
Most founders donโt have time to:
Research directories
Fill out endless submission forms
Track which sites actually accepted their startup
But the truth is โ directories still drive meaningful traffic, backlinks, and SEO juice when done right.
So I built StartupSubmit ๐ก
A manual submission service that lists your startup on 300+ high-quality directories.
โ What you get:
100% manual submissions (no bots)
Airtable delivery report with live links + screenshots
Backlinks for SEO, early organic traffic & exposure
Refund guarantee if submissions arenโt delivered
๐ Some client results:
Reply for client showcase results
๐ฐ Pricing (Founder Deal):
300+ submissions โ $99 (normally $999)
150+ submissions โ $49
Weโre currently running this as a Founderโs Offer for early adopters here.

Would love to hear your thoughts & feedback ๐ โ
Do you think directories still work in 2025 for discovery/SEO?

I gave StartupSubmit a try for my SaaS launch, and honestly, the value for money is insane. They manually submitted my product to 300+ directories, and within a few weeks I started seeing referral traffic and backlinks showing up in Ahrefs. The process was smooth, they shared a detailed Airtable report with live links, and I appreciated that they replaced any sites where I was already listed.
If youโre in the early traction phase and donโt want to spend $$$ on ads, this is a smart way to get visibility, SEO benefits, and some early signups. Definitely recommend!
