Get your startup
listed everywhere.

Submitly is a startup directory submission service. We help founders get their products listed on 100+ high-authority AI, SaaS, and startup directories — either by doing it entirely for you (Done-For-You), or by giving you our full curated database so you can submit at your own pace (Directory Database). We exist because manually researching and submitting to every relevant directory is one of the most time-consuming, repetitive tasks a founder faces at launch — and it shouldn't be.

The Directory Database gives you instant access to our curated list of 100+ directories with all details (Name, DR, Monthly Visits, Pricing, Directory Link, Submission Link) so you can submit your startup yourself at your own pace. The Done-For-You plan means we handle absolutely everything — we manually submit your startup to every directory, create accounts, optimize listings, and deliver a full report.

SaaS products, AI tools, developer tools, mobile apps, Chrome extensions, APIs, no-code tools, and any tech startup. If you have a product with a live website, you can submit it.

For the Done-For-You plan, most submissions are completed within 10–14 days. You'll start seeing new inbound links appear in Ahrefs/Moz within 2–4 weeks, and noticeable DR improvements within 4–8 weeks as search engines crawl and index the new listings. For the database, you can start submitting immediately.

Yes. Every Done-For-You order includes a detailed submission report delivered alongside your completed work. The report lists each directory we submitted to, the status of the listing (live, pending, or under review), the directory's Domain Rating, and a confirmation link or screenshot where available. You'll have complete visibility into exactly what was done — no black boxes, no vague promises.

Domain Rating (DR) is a metric by Ahrefs that measures the strength of a website's backlink profile on a scale of 0 to 100. A higher DR means your site is more authoritative in the eyes of search engines, making it significantly easier to rank on Google and attract organic traffic. For startups, going from DR 0 to DR 20-30 can be the difference between being invisible and appearing on the first page for your target keywords.

No — and we'll be upfront about that. We guarantee the work: your startup will be manually submitted to 100+ real, high-authority directories, and you'll receive a full report as proof. What we can't guarantee are specific outcomes like traffic numbers, DR increases, or customer conversions — those depend on your product, market fit, niche competitiveness, and how search engines index your new listings over time. Directory submissions are a powerful, proven foundation for SEO authority, but they're one part of a broader growth strategy — not a magic switch. If you're looking for reliable, white-hat link building with full transparency, this is exactly that.

Yes. We only include established, long-running directories that maintain their listings permanently. The inbound links you receive are real, indexable links from legitimate websites. Unlike paid link schemes, directory listings are a natural, lasting part of the web ecosystem.

Absolutely safe. Directory submissions are a recognized white-hat SEO strategy recommended by SEO experts worldwide. We only include legitimate, high-quality directories — no PBNs, no link farms, no spam networks. This is the exact strategy used by well-funded SaaS companies to build their initial authority.

Each entry includes: Directory Name, Domain Rating (DR), Monthly Traffic, Pricing (free or paid), a direct link to the directory, and a direct submission link to list your startup. We update the database regularly to add new directories and remove dead ones.

If you buy the Done-For-You plan, no — we handle absolutely everything including account creation, profile setup, listing optimization, category selection, and submission. All account credentials created on your behalf are included in your final report, so you always have full access to your listings. If you buy the Database, you'll submit yourself using the provided links, which may require creating accounts.

Yes. The Done-For-You plan comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If we fail to deliver the agreed number of directory submissions, or if you're genuinely unsatisfied with the work, contact us within 14 days of delivery and we'll issue a full refund — no questions asked. The Directory Database is a digital product delivered instantly, so refunds are handled case by case; reach out and we'll make it right.

Absolutely. If you start with the Directory Database and later want us to take over the submissions, you can upgrade to the Done-For-You plan at any time — just reach out and we'll apply a credit for your original purchase toward the upgrade price. If you're on the Starter or Growth DFY tier and want to expand to more directories, upgrading to a higher tier is straightforward too. Just contact us before or after your order and we'll sort it out.

A dedicated Gmail address is created to handle all directory sign-ups, confirmations, and communications on your behalf, keeping everything organized and separate from your personal inbox. Once the process is complete, you'll receive full login credentials for this email along with your final report. Prefer to use your own address? You're welcome to provide us access to a @domain.com email instead.

No — every submission is done manually, by hand. This ensures each listing is accurate, complete, and properly optimized for each directory's requirements. Automation tools often produce low-quality, incomplete listings that directories reject or ignore. We don't cut corners.

While we can't guarantee a specific number, a DR increase is a realistic outcome for most websites. The amount varies depending on your current DR — sites starting from a lower baseline typically see more significant jumps, while higher-DR sites may experience more modest but still meaningful gains.

We're happy to help. Reach out directly at contact@submitly.pro and we'll get back to you within 24 hours. Whether you're unsure which plan fits your startup, have questions about a specific directory, or want to discuss a custom arrangement — just ask.
