Submit by Hand

Submit by Hand is a done-for-you directory submission service for indie makers, SaaS founders and AI tool builders. If you have just launched a product and need the first wave of listings and backlinks, you paste your website once and we take the rest from there.

How it works

1. Paste your URL. We write a complete listing for you: product name, tagline, short and long descriptions, categories, tags and key features, all in a voice that sounds like a founder rather than a template.

2. Review the copy. You check the listing, add your logo and screenshots, and tell us which directories you are already on so we skip them.

3. We submit by hand. Your product goes to 50, 100 or 200 hand-picked startup, SaaS and AI directories over 2-3 weeks at a natural pace, instead of dumping everything in one burst.

4. You get the report. Your order page is a live report: every directory gets its own row with the submission date, a screenshot of the submitted form, the listing link once it goes live, and the login we created so you can take over any listing later.

What you get

- Listing copy written for your product: tagline, short and long descriptions, categories, tags and key features.

- 50, 100 or 200 hand-picked directories, chosen because they fit your product, not pulled from a bulk list.

- A screenshot of every single submission, taken on the directory's own confirmation page.

- A live report with submission dates, listing links and logins, exportable to CSV at any time.

- A free list of 300+ directories with domain rating, pricing and a direct submission link, whether you order or not.

Why founders use it

A brand new domain needs links and mentions before it can rank, and most product directories still send real referral traffic from people browsing for new tools. Doing it yourself means creating dozens of accounts, filling in the same description again and again, and chasing forms that reject or silently drop your submission. Submit by Hand removes that busywork: you keep the positioning, we handle the repetitive form filling and give you the evidence that it happened.

Who it is for

- Founders launching a new SaaS or AI tool who would rather spend their first month talking to users than filling forms.

- Indie makers who want early backlinks for a new domain without buying a spammy link package.

- Small teams that want a predictable, one-time cost instead of another monthly subscription.

What it is not

We do not sell links, we do not promise a directory will accept you, and we do not promise rankings. Directories review submissions on their own schedule. What we promise is that the submission is made, on the free path wherever a free listing exists, and that you get a screenshot and the listing link for every single one.

Pricing

One-time payment from $149 for 50 directories, with 100 and 200 directory packages for larger launches. No subscription, no per-directory upsell, and you can order again later when you want a second wave of directories.
