Inside this
- Submit to AlternativeTo25m
Nofollow, but it ranks for “[competitor] alternatives” and feeds AI answers heavily.
- Submit to SaaSHub20m
Dofollow, and ranks well for alternatives queries with genuinely high buying intent.
- Create the G2 listing40m
Listing only for now — it stays invisible until the review drive in 2.6.
- Create the Capterra listing40m
Bought by G2 from Gartner in early 2026 (agreement 29 Jan, close reported 5 Feb). Same review mechanics, separate listing, separate review count.
- Claim the GetApp listing20m
Often auto-populates from Capterra. Claim it rather than creating a duplicate.
- Claim Software Advice20m
Gartner property; syncs with Capterra in several categories.
- Create the TrustRadius listing30m
Lower volume than G2, higher review quality, and reviewers write real detail.
- Submit to SourceForge25m
Legacy, unglamorous, DR 92, and takes twenty minutes.
- Submit the company profile to Slashdot20m
Same operator as SourceForge — do them back to back with the same copy.
- Submit to TheSaaSDirectory15m
DR 88, clean categorisation, fast approval.
- Submit to Tech.co15m
Directory plus media surface — occasionally turns into editorial coverage.

- Create the Indie Hackers product page25m
Doubles as the home for your build-in-public updates from Phase 3 onward.

Used by accelerators; the profile outranks a lot of things for your brand name.
- List on StackShare20m
Publish your own stack too — that is what gets the profile crawled.
