How to submit to SaaSHub, and alternatives

What SaaSHub does for a launch

A directory is the slow, permanent kind of listing: a page about your product that stays up, gets indexed and keeps being found by people searching for tools like yours. One listing won't change much on its own; a dozen relevant ones get a new site discovered and understood.

How to get listed on SaaSHub

1. Check that SaaSHub lists your kind of product before you write anything; directories reject products outside their focus.
2. Create an account and find the submit or "add product" page.
3. Choose the most specific category that fits. Broad categories bury you under hundreds of listings.
4. Write the description for someone searching: what it does and who it's for in the first line, then the main features.
5. If SaaSHub lets you name competitors or tools you replace, add them. That's how people searching for those tools find you.
6. Come back when your product changes and update the listing: a stale description is worse than none.

Tips for SaaSHub

• Add the tools you replace as alternatives: people find SaaSHub by searching "[tool] alternatives".
• Claim and verify your listing so you can keep it up to date.

What to prepare before you submit

You'll paste the same things into every launch platform and directory, so write them once:

• A tagline under 60 characters that says what it does (see how to write a product tagline).
• A description under 160 characters, plus a longer one of two or three short paragraphs.
• A square logo (at least 256×256) and three or four screenshots at the same size.
• Your pricing in one line, including whether there's a free plan.
• A spreadsheet of where you submitted, the listing URL and whether the link is followed.

Frequently asked questions

Is listing on SaaSHub free?

Many directories have a free listing with paid upgrades for a featured spot or faster review. What SaaSHub charges, and what you get for it, changes over time, so check its submit page.

Does a SaaSHub listing help SEO?

Modestly. A listing helps a new site get discovered and indexed and gives search engines and AI assistants consistent facts about your product. Whether the link to you is dofollow depends on SaaSHub's current policy; check a live listing.

How long until my SaaSHub listing is live?

Anything from minutes to weeks, depending on whether SaaSHub reviews submissions by hand and how long its queue is. Submit early in your launch plan so the listing is up when you need it.
