SubmitToDirectories vs DIY Directory Submissions

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.

Why switch

Teams choose managed submissions for clarity, not just volume.

We stopped babysitting a submission spreadsheet. Assets went in once, and we always knew what was queued, live, or waiting on a directory reply.

Priya NairFounder, Northlane Analytics

Checkout was simple, intake was clear, and the report actually had listing URLs instead of vague ‘done’ emails. That alone was worth it for our launch week.

Marcus EllisonHead of Growth, Relaystack

We needed coverage across review sites and niche directories without burning founder time. The campaign felt organized from day one.

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 25–150 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.
