FAQ

Everything founders ask before ordering

What exactly do I get?

Your product submitted to 50, 100 or 200 directories that fit it — startup launch sites, SaaS and software lists, AI tool directories and niche catalogs. Before we start we write your listing copy (tagline, short and long descriptions, categories, tags, features) and you can edit every word. Your order page becomes a live report: each directory with its status, submission date, a screenshot of the submission, the listing link once it is published, and the login we created there.

How long does it take?

We start the day you press "Start submissions" and spread the work evenly over 2–3 weeks. A steady pace looks natural to search engines and to the directories themselves, and it gives each site the attention its form needs. You can watch the report fill up day by day.

Do you guarantee my product gets approved or ranks higher?

We guarantee the submissions: if a directory turns out to be paid-only, closed, or unable to accept your product, we replace it with another matching directory until your full count is submitted. Each directory decides on its own what it publishes and when, and no honest service can promise approvals, rankings or a domain rating number.

Which directories do you use?

Our public list is on the Directories page — every site we submit to, with its domain rating and categories. We check each one by hand and only keep directories that are live and offer a free listing. When you start, we pick the best matches for your product first, and you can leave out any directory before we begin.

Are these free directories? Will I be charged anything else?

Your one-time payment covers everything. We only use directories with a free submission option and never pay for listings on your behalf, so there is nothing else to buy. Some directories offer optional paid upgrades — we never purchase those.

What do you need from me?

Just your website address to start. After payment you can review the listing we wrote, upload your logo and a few screenshots, and press start. That takes about five minutes.

What email do you use to register on directories?

Each order gets its own dedicated inbox on our domain, so directory confirmations and newsletters never flood your mailbox. Every login is in your report, so you can take over any listing later — update it, answer reviews or claim it.

Is the free preview really free?

Yes. Paste your URL and you get your listing draft and the number of matching directories on the spot — no signup and no card.

What kinds of products can you submit?

SaaS products, AI tools, developer tools, browser extensions, mobile and desktop apps, newsletters and online services.

Can I get a refund?

If we have not started, you get a full refund. After we start, we refund the part of your order we have not delivered. Write to support@submitbyhand.com — the full policy is on the Refund policy page.
