FAQ
How is this different from DIY Directory Submissions?
The DIY comparison page explains when to pay versus do it yourself. This checklist page is for founders searching for a step-by-step submission process—we show what a solid checklist covers, then offer to run that process as a managed package.
What belongs on a manual directory submission checklist?
At minimum: product URL, short and long descriptions, logo, screenshots, categories, pricing notes, contact email, and a tracker for queue state, approval, listing URL, and follow-up date per directory.
Can I keep using my own checklist after I buy?
Yes. After checkout we still ask for assets once; you can mirror our status report in your own tracker if your team wants dual visibility.
How do I start?
Buy Starter, Growth, or Scale on the pricing page. After payment we email the asset checklist and begin submissions.
