LaunchDirectories is a directory database and launch service platform for startups and products. Its core goal is to help founders, marketers, and product managers find suitable platforms for launching products, thereby increasing exposure and building high-quality backlinks for SEO.
In terms of use, LaunchDirectories provides a curated list of 100+ startup directories, launch platforms, and high-authority websites. Users can browse these platforms and determine which channels are suitable for their product launch and promotion. The website also offers a manual submission service to help users submit their products to 100+ directories.
Main capabilities include: a searchable directory database covering 100+ startup directories, launch platforms, and high-authority websites; providing key metrics such as Domain Rating (DR), traffic statistics, and link type (dofollow/nofollow); marking whether directories are free or paid, and whether they support fast review; showing the last verification date for each directory, with data checked and updated monthly; offering an Auto Submit service, where users only need to submit product information once, and the team will manually submit the product to 100+ directories.
In terms of how to use it, users can browse and search the directory database, and use filters and metrics to select higher-priority directories. If using the manual submission service, product details need to be provided, and the team is responsible for submitting to relevant platforms. The website FAQ mentions that submitting to directories usually requires preparing: startup name, website URL, tagline/description (usually 100-200 words), logo (usually 200x200px or larger), screenshots or demo video, pricing information, founder information; some directories also require social media links, funding status, or launch date. It is recommended to start with 10-15 high-DR directories most relevant to the product category, focusing on quality rather than quantity.
Applicable scenarios include: channel research and selection before a startup product launch; SEO backlink building; increasing product exposure in directories, media, and communities; saving the time of manually submitting to directories one by one. The website claims it can help products appear on Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, AP News, and 500+ publications, improving domain rating, social proof, and AI visibility, but specific results vary by product and execution.
