SubmitToDirectories vs DIY Directory Submissions

TL;DR: Submitting yourself is free in cash but expensive in founder time. Key difference: We handle repetitive form work. DIY Directory Submissions: You fill every directory yourself.

Submitting yourself is free in cash but expensive in founder time. DIY works for a few high-priority listings; managed campaigns make more sense when you need consistent coverage and follow-up.

FAQ

When should I pay for managed submissions instead of DIY?

DIY works for a handful of must-win directories. Managed submissions make more sense for 25 or 74 target campaigns when you want requirements reviewed per listing and pending or needs-attention states tracked so you do not lose follow-up across tabs.

What does managed save versus filling forms myself?

You still provide assets after checkout, but we handle the repetitive form work and review category or asset rules before each submit—easy to miss when you research every form yourself.

How do I start?

Buy Starter, Growth, or Scale on the pricing page. After payment we email the asset checklist and begin submissions.
