Win a place in project discovery

Getting a project or brand listed becomes an ongoing distribution task.

32 projects

Different approaches

Directories offer editorial discovery, community voting, paid ranks or scarce visual slots. Submission assistants reduce the labor of placing a product across multiple destinations. These mechanisms differ substantially, and buying rank does not demonstrate customer demand.

What brings them together: Placing, promoting or submitting a project, product or brand on a discovery directory or ranking surface.
Outside this wave: General advertising agencies, job boards and tools whose only role is search optimization.
