Prepare the submission kit
Written once, pasted fifty times. Skipping this turns a 3-hour batch into a 3-day slog.
Inside this
- Write a tagline under 10 words20m
Outcome first. Every form has this field and most have a hard character limit.
- Write the 50-word short description20m
What it does and for whom, in the words a directory’s own search results show. Forms with a 60-character limit take the tagline instead.
- Write the 250-word description, and vary its opening per form1h
One text, three ways in: lead with the outcome on one directory, with the alternative it replaces on the next, with the mechanism on the third. Never paste the same first sentence everywhere — duplicates get down-weighted.
- Pick 5–8 category tags20m
Use the tags buyers browse, not the ones that describe your architecture.
- Write the founder story in three sentences25m
Curated directories reject listings without one. Reused verbatim on launch day.
- Set up the submission tracker20m
Directory, date, listing URL, status (live, submitted, skipped and why), dofollow verified. A marketinque project has it built in: the directory sprint on the plan page, checked nightly. You will be back here quarterly.
