Directory Submissions for International & Non-US Startups
You don't need to be based in Silicon Valley to benefit from startup directories. SubmitWell submits products from founders worldwide — the directories we target are globally accessible.
Why This Matters for International Startups
The startup directory ecosystem is predominantly English-language but globally accessible. Founders from India, Europe, Southeast Asia, and beyond regularly launch on Product Hunt, SaaSHub, and similar platforms with great results. The SEO backlinks from these directories benefit your domain regardless of where you're based, and the referral traffic often converts well because directory visitors have high purchase intent.
Common Challenges
- Unsure whether international startups are treated differently on directories
- Want access to global buyer audiences, not just local market
- Need a US-accessible web presence to compete with US-based products
- Time zone differences make manual submission coordination difficult
How SubmitWell Helps
- We submit products from founders worldwide — location doesn't matter
- All directories we target are globally accessible
- No US address or incorporation required for the directories we use
- Results page and communication are fully async — no timezone coordination needed

Frequently Asked Questions
My startup is based in India (or Europe, or Southeast Asia) — will directories accept it?
Yes. Most startup directories are global platforms that accept products from any country. A few have geographic restrictions, but the large majority of the directories we submit to are open to international founders.
Do I need a .com domain to get listed on directories?
No. Country-code domains (.in, .io, .co.uk, etc.) are accepted by most directories. The product quality and description matter far more than the domain extension.
My product targets a non-English-speaking market — should I still submit to English directories?
Yes for the SEO backlinks — they benefit your domain regardless of your target market. For referral traffic, it's less targeted, but the domain authority benefits are universal.
