Match beats count
A listing helps when the directory's visitors could use your product. An AI writing tool belongs on AI directories and review sites. It gets nothing from a local business citation site.
Past the first fifty or so matched directories, each extra listing is on a smaller site with fewer visitors.
A reasonable order
Start with the directories for your product type. Add launch platforms when you have a date. Add general startup directories last.
What we do
StartupSeen orders are 50 or 100 directories, picked by product type from the list on this site. You see every one of them in your report.
