Features > Startup Directory

They're not just great for connecting with investors and partners but also work wonders for boosting your online visibility through improved SEO. It's like giving your startup a friendly and vibrant online neighborhood to thrive in! 🚀


✏️ Write your pitch(es)

- Check the 🔖 segment (if there is any) before you start - some of those directories are developer/AI oriented and they won’t accept you if you don’t fit their target audience

- The table is sorted by **highest link strength first


WebsiteDescription

It took us 2 minutes just to find the URL for submission. Here it is to save you time: https://trendystartups.com/members/submitstartup. However, the submission process is quite frustrating. The tagline must be a specific length, and even when I was under the limit by 5 characters, it still complained. Additionally, the image cannot be uploaded and must be hosted on my server, which took another 10 minutes to figure out.


After all that, I found out that it costs $29 for the cheapest option. Alternatively, I could have it for free if I upvoted some other products. I went to the homepage and upvoted the first 10 products, but there's a 10-second counter I had to wait through for each one.


When I returned to the submission page, it said it only counted 2 upvotes because I was too fast, so I would need to come back 4 days in a row and do the same thing. What a joke.


As for backlinks, there's no good backlink from this site. With a strength of 1, you'd get more strength from a backlink on your mom's website.

If you provide a free tier for developers, showcase it on freestuff.dev and receive a backlink with a Domain Authority of 48 (note: this is due to continued listing on the homepage).


Consider offering a free tier or a complimentary free side product as a strategy. Many indie hackers have found success with this approach.


You can also launch these on ProductHunt as standalone products.


Target audience: developers and builders.
