Directory Submissions for First-Time Founders
Building your first product is hard enough. Directory submissions are one of the first marketing tasks you should tick off — and with SubmitWell, you can do it without expertise or time.
Why This Matters for First-Time Founders
First-time founders often don't know where to start with marketing. Directory submissions are the right first move because they're foundational — they build the backlink profile that makes every other marketing effort more effective. Getting listed on high-authority directories early is something experienced founders do instinctively, and it's something SubmitWell makes easy even if you've never done it before.

Frequently Asked Questions
I don't know much about SEO — will directory submissions help me?
Yes, and you don't need to understand SEO to benefit. Every directory submission we make creates a backlink to your site. Backlinks are one of the most important factors Google uses to decide how authoritative your site is. More high-quality backlinks = better search rankings over time.
What information do I need to provide?
After purchase, you'll fill out our onboarding form with your product name, URL, description, tagline, category, and logo. That's all we need to complete all your submissions.
Is there a risk that directory submissions could hurt my site?
No. We only submit to legitimate, established directories. Spammy or low-quality link building can hurt SEO, but that's not what directory submissions are — we target platforms with real traffic and genuine domain authority.
Ready to get your startup listed?
Manual submissions to 50–200+ directories. Screenshot proof of every listing. Starting at $35.
