FAQ

Why not just hire a gig for directory submissions?

Gigs can be cheap, but seller quality and process vary widely and there's rarely a status report. We use a consistent, curated process and send status updates with listing URLs for every campaign.

How do I know a gig seller submitted correctly?

You usually don't until you check yourself. We track pending and needs-attention states so you can see submission status without following up.

How do I start?

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