Why LaunchIgniter submissions get rejected or stall
- Free launches are manually reviewed and only unique, high-quality products are approved
- Free launches require displaying the LaunchIgniter badge on your product homepage; failure to verify the badge leads to rejection
- Each product can be launched only one time; duplicate submissions are not allowed
- Free launch dates are not guaranteed and may change if there are not enough free slots for the selected week
- If the badge checker is blocked by Cloudflare or similar protection, you must manually confirm the badge and our team verifies it during review; failure to do so may stall approval
Tips for a listing that gets approved
- For a free launch, place the LaunchIgniter badge on your homepage before submitting, and if you use Cloudflare, tick the manual confirmation box and tell them which page the badge is on.
- Paid Basic launch at $12 gives you a guaranteed dofollow backlink from DR 75 without badge or review queue—worth it if you need a quick, reliable link.
- Engage with the community during your launch week: upvotes determine the top 3 winners who get the dofollow backlink on free plans.
- Consider the Pro plan at $15 if you want additional dofollow backlinks from StartupTrusted (DR 62) and SaaSGrow (DR 63) for just $3 more.
