Overview
LaunchDirectories is a done-for-you directory submission service designed for startups, SaaS companies, and indie hackers who want to build high-quality backlinks and improve their search engine visibility without spending hours on manual submissions. The service handles the entire process of getting your product listed across curated online directories, from filling out forms to optimizing descriptions for each platform. By leveraging a database of over 200 vetted directories, LaunchDirectories selects the most relevant ones for each product type, ensuring higher acceptance rates and better results.
The core problem it solves is the time-consuming and tedious nature of directory submissions. Founders often lack the time or expertise to research directories, create accounts, and craft unique descriptions for each listing. Automated tools exist but often fail due to CAPTCHAs and generic content, leading to low acceptance rates. LaunchDirectories positions itself as a premium manual service that delivers permanent backlinks, improved domain authority, and increased visibility in both search engines and AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Compared to alternatives like doing it yourself or using automated software, LaunchDirectories offers a hands-off experience with a reported average delivery time of 4-6 days and a typical domain rating increase of 15-25 points within 1-3 months. The service is built by Krzysztof, a founder who understands the challenges of launching a product, and it has already served over 100 happy customers, building more than 15,000 backlinks.

Curated Directory Database: LaunchDirectories maintains a database of over 200 vetted directories. The team selects different directories for each project based on the product type, whether it's a SaaS tool, AI product, mobile app, or Chrome extension.
