Directory submissions: the foundation layer of distribution that passes backlinks and discovery surface area into your marketing…
What it does
- A single <h1> and sequential heading hierarchy — pages with clean hierarchy have 2.8× higher AI citation rates, and 87% of ChatGPT-cited pages use a single H1.
- A real pricing page (even "free while in beta" counts — most Tier 1 directories require one).
- Privacy policy + terms.
- Logo assets in PNG + SVG + square 1024×1024 + favicon.
- 5–8 real product screenshots at 1920×1080 (not marketing mockups).
- A 60–90 second demo video — products with video on Product Hunt get 2.7× more upvotes.
- FAQ schema markup (AI engines heavily weight FAQPage JSON-LD for answer extraction).
Requirements & configuration
- A real pricing page (even "free while in beta" counts — most Tier 1 directories require one).
- Directories are the source of link equity. You need destinations that can convert the resulting traffic. Minimum destinations before submitting to anything:
- First 2 hours are everything. Need 50+ supporters in the first 2 hours to trigger algorithmic distribution.
- "Users Love Us" badge is still free: requires 20 reviews at 4.0+ average.
- Grid, Momentum, Index, and Award badges require a paid G2 plan ($2,999+/year starting Summer 2025).
