Why Launchpad submissions get rejected or stall
- Submitting a product that is not a startup, SaaS, or AI tool may not fit the platform's focus.
- Free launches are limited to 5 slots per day; if slots are full, your launch may be delayed.
- If you require a dofollow backlink but choose the free plan, you may not get one unless you rank in the top 3 daily.
- Sponsored listings require a previously launched product on Launchpad.
Tips for a listing that gets approved
- Schedule your free launch well in advance, as only 5 slots are available daily and the queue can extend up to 360 days.
- If a dofollow backlink is important for SEO, consider the Basic or Premium plan to guarantee it.
- Premium launches get a featured homepage spot for 7 days, which can significantly increase visibility.
- The Review Package is a good option if you want a dedicated article with a guaranteed dofollow backlink.
Our take on Launchpad
Launchpad is a good fit for founders who want a simple launch platform with a dofollow backlink option. The free plan is limited but can work if you schedule early and don't need a guaranteed backlink. Paid plans are affordable and offer clear benefits for SEO and visibility.
