The Launch Directory

What is The Launch Directory?

The Launch Directory is a permanent archive of startup and product launches. Every listing becomes a dated page that stays on the record indefinitely, so search engines and AI tools (Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) can continue to find, quote, and cite it long after launch week ends.

How it works

Founders submit their product at thelaunchdirectory.com/submit. The system pulls public information from the site to pre-fill the listing, which can then be edited before publication.

There are two paths:

• Free listing — held in queue until the founder profile is complete and the Launch Directory badge is live on the product site.
• Paid launch ($5) — publishes immediately (or on a chosen week) with a full profile and a dofollow link.

Once live, listings appear in the weekly edition, can receive community votes, and remain permanently in the archive.

Why founders use it

• Lasting visibility — a permanent, dated page instead of temporary launch-day exposure.
• Search and AI citations — pages are structured so search engines and AI assistants can reference them over time.
• Strong domain signals — the site currently carries a Domain Rating of ~70 (Ahrefs).
• Community ranking — weekly leaderboards driven by votes, plus Launch of the Week badges for the top three.
• Optional promotion — paid billboard placement, category sponsorships, and newsletter slots for extra visibility.

Who it’s for

Solo founders, small teams, and SaaS builders who want a permanent home for their launch that continues to work for discovery and citations after the initial announcement.
