Directories

A checklist of free directories and launch sites, with copy written for each one. Work through it and tick Done.

1 min readUpdated

Directories, launch sites and "tools list" communities are some of the easiest backlinks and first visitors you'll get. The Directories tab turns them into a checklist, with the copy for each one already written.

#Where the list comes from

  • Starter lists. A vetted seed list of free places, filtered by the tags you ticked on the Profile tab: general, games, dev, saas, ai, wordpress, fintech, africa and education. Everyone gets general.
  • Search. Twice a day, your directory campaign's queries look for more places that fit. Click Find more + write content to run it now.
  • You. Know a good one? Use Add a place you know at the bottom of the tab.

#Working through it

  1. Open the place. Each item links to its submission page.
  2. Write the content. Click Write content and Larvabot drafts everything that site usually asks for: Title, Tagline, Short description, Long description and Tags, written for that particular site. Rewrite content gives you a fresh version.
  3. Paste and submit. Copy each field into their form. Adjust anything that doesn't fit.
  4. Tick Done. The item moves to Done with the date, and the progress bar at the top grows.

Not a fit? Skip (not a fit) hides it under Skipped. Unskip brings it back.

Batch it

Directories are perfect for a Sunday afternoon with a cup of tea. Do five at a time, and give the ones with a review queue a few weeks before you expect a listing.

#Does it work?

Directory hosts you've listed are recognised in your reports: visits referred by them count under Directories, and the Reports tab shows Directories done out of the total.
