In short: No. While we can guarantee that we will do our best to get you the most amount of attention as possible, we can't guarantee that you will get picked up by journalists or go viral. It's also important to note that not all startup directories will feature your startup as each have their own set of criteria for managing submissions.
We create a custom list for each product, and share the list with you for approval prior to the submission process.
No. All submissions are done manually by our team based in the US. We DO NOT use bots as this can be counterproductive.
No. Quite the contrary - we stagger all submissions over a week long period to prevent any issues.
Send us an email and if the site has a good DA score then it's likely to be added. 😄
We submit over a week long period. Listing time varies - while some directories will list you instantly, for others it takes 1-4 weeks to feature your startup.
