SubmitMap
What Is SubmitMap?
Overview
Every launch guide says "submit to directories". None of them say which ones accept your kind of product, what the form will ask, or what actually happens after you hit submit.
SubmitMap is that missing map. Every platform is a typed record: who it accepts, what disqualifies you, the exact submission steps, expected approval time and whether the backlink is dofollow. The route organises it all into seven phases, from getting launch-ready to the paid channels you should only open last. Connect it to your AI over MCP and it works out what you qualify for and fills the forms in your own browser.
No paid placement, ever. Reading the directory needs no account; editorial usefulness is the whole moat.
Key Features
Platform records, not link lists. Each entry carries eligibility (who the platform accepts and what disqualifies you), the submission steps in order, the requirements you need in hand, the gotchas that cost other makers a submission, the approval time, the pricing, the domain rating and whether the outbound link is dofollow.
A phased route, not a checklist. Seven phases, in the order they are worth doing:
Get launch-ready. Before you submit anywhere. Traffic to a broken page is wasted traffic.
Free directories with no gatekeeping. Week one. Low effort, immediate listings, permanent backlinks.
The big launches. The days that need a date in the calendar. Pick one, prepare properly, and treat the permanent link as the real prize.
Communities. The slowest channel on the route and the only one that compounds socially. Nothing here pays off this week.
Marketplaces and registries. Only some of this phase applies to you. Skip whichever platform your product cannot ship on.
Compounding visibility. What turns a launch spike into a slope. Slower than everything above it and worth more a year later.
Paid, only when it is worth it. Do not open this phase until the free channels are genuinely exhausted.
Curated lists. They cut through the directory by the question a maker actually has: which platforms are free and dofollow, which accept a product that has not launched yet, which want a repository rather than a product.
The submission pack. One set of answers, filled in once: name, tagline, three description lengths, categories, pricing line, maker bio, first comment, and every asset at the size forms ask for. Fill it once and every form after that is copy and paste.
An MCP server. Connect your AI agent and it reads the same directory, works out what your product qualifies for, and drives the submission forms in your own browser.
Use Cases
You shipped something and do not know where to submit it. Start at phase one and work down.
You want backlinks that survive. Filter for dofollow, read the approval time, and skip the platforms that charge for the link.
You are not launched yet. The eligibility rules say which platforms want you early and which reject a finished product as not newsworthy.
You want your agent to do the submitting. Point it at the MCP server and hand it your pack.
Getting Started
Open submitmap.com. No account, no email address. Browse the directory or start at the route. When you are ready to submit, fill in the pack once and work down the phases in order.
Pricing and Plans
Free. No paid tiers on the directory, no paid placement, and no platform pays to be listed or ranked.
