Launch directories tracking
A catalogue of more than 20 launch directories with the status of each submission per project, so none is forgotten or sent twice. Tracking, not submitting.
In this article
LaunchSuite keeps a catalogue of 21 launch directories (Product Hunt, Hacker News, catalogue directories, AI-tool directories, B2B review sites and MCP server registries) and stores, per project, the status of each submission: planned, draft, submitted, published, rejected or dropped. It is tracking: LaunchSuite does not submit anything for you.
What it does
It replaces the spreadsheet with forty half-filled directories. Each directory in the catalogue carries its link, the submission link, the cost, whether the link is "dofollow" when that has been checked, who it is for and useful notes, such as that Product Hunt is a one-day launch or that Hacker News only accepts a "Show HN" if it can be tried without signing up. On top of that catalogue, each project keeps its own list with the status of each submission.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Planned | It is on your list and you have not started |
| Draft ready | You have the listing prepared |
| Submitted | You have sent it and are waiting for a reply |
| Published | It is live |
| Rejected | The directory did not accept it |
| Dropped | You decided not to use it, so you never reconsider it |
Which directories enter each project is decided by your site's analysis: a business product also gets B2B review directories, an AI tool gets AI-tool directories and an MCP server gets MCP registries. Submitted and published ones count as done tasks in the launch plan.
How to use it, step by step
- Open your project's directories: you will see the ones that fit the product type.
- Move each listing you prepare to "Draft ready" and open the directory's submission link to send it yourself.
- When you submit, mark "Submitted"; when it comes out, "Published" or "Rejected".
- Drop with one click whatever does not interest you, so the plan stops asking for it.
What it does not do
- It does not submit listings. Each directory has its own form and account; you do the submitting.
- It does not guarantee the catalogue data is current. Cost and "dofollow" change often and the catalogue starts from data that needs review; where unchecked it says "unchecked".
- It does not measure what each directory brings. For that, link each listing with UTM and read the results in your analytics.
- It does not manage reviews. It treats G2 and Capterra as two more directories; it does not request or answer reviews.
Which plans include it
It is in every plan. The limits enforced per plan are on the pricing page.
What problem it solves
It is one of the defences against the silent launch: event directories need a full day of attention and catalogue ones can go weeks later, and tracking the status of each avoids repeating or abandoning. How each platform works is in the guide to Product Hunt and launch directories; for review listings, reviews and social proof; and for tagged links to know what each brings, UTM links without mistakes.
Frequently asked questions
Does LaunchSuite submit my product to directories?
No. It tracks the status of each submission, but you send each listing yourself on the directory.
Which directories does it include?
Product Hunt, Hacker News, catalogue and AI-tool directories, B2B review sites such as G2 and Capterra and MCP server registries, among others.
Can I remove a directory I am not interested in?
Yes: you mark it as dropped and it stops appearing as a pending task in the plan.
Your whole launch, in one tool
One project per product, each with its own plan, accounts, calendar and directories. See the plans and start the trial.
