How to submit to FeaturedLane, step by step
Submit your URL for free. The listing is drafted for you, you edit it, back 3 launches, add a badge, and it goes live. Your link turns dofollow when you add the badge and get 5 votes.
Create an account
Sign in with email and password or Google. No account yet? Create one, it takes a minute.
Drop in your URL
Start with the page that best describes your product. You'll be asked for the project name on the next screen.
Edit the drafted listing
FeaturedLane reads your page and drafts the listing: title, description, screenshots, socials. Rewrite anything. Nothing publishes unread.
Back a few launches
Upvote 3 of the newest tools on the board before you move on—a small, one-time ask.
Add the badge and get verified
Paste the badge on your site. FeaturedLane loads the page and checks it for real—followed link, no nofollow. It publishes the moment it passes.
Reach 5 upvotes for dofollow
With the badge up, your link turns dofollow the moment your listing reaches 5 upvotes. Take the badge down and it reverts the same day.
