How Submi works

What happens from the day you pay to the day your plan's target is live, and who does each part.

Submi lists your SaaS product on directories for you. You pay once, approve one product profile, decide about the badge, choose your directories or take our recommended list, and press Start. From then on the listing work is ours: we submit your product, follow each directory's review, and record the live URL of every listing on your dashboard.

The number on your plan is live listings, not submissions. A listing counts only when we have opened its page and found a working link to your product. We keep working, at no extra cost, until your plan's target is live.

  1. 1

    You choose a plan and pay

    Both plans are one payment for one product. Foundation is $99 USD for 100 live listings, and Authority is $399 USD for 300. Dodo Payments takes the payment. Plans and what counts as live explains what each includes.

  2. 2

    You approve your product profile

    Type your website and we draft the details directories ask for: name, tagline, description, category and logo. You check and change every field, then save. This profile is the copy used on every listing.

  3. 3

    You decide about the badge

    Some directories publish a listing only when their badge is on your site. You can add one short piece of code that carries all of their badges, or continue without it. Your target is the same either way.

  4. 4

    You choose your directories

    Your plan's places open already filled with our recommended list. Keep it, swap some, or pick every directory yourself.

  5. 5

    You press Start

    You tick a box to confirm your details and press Start my campaign. Your profile and directory list lock, backup directories are kept ready, and work starts within 24 hours.

  6. 6

    We list your product

    Each directory on your list is submitted from Submi's own directory accounts, either by our listing software or by a person on our team. You never need an account on a directory. Many directories review each submission by hand, so listings go live over days and weeks, not all at once.

  7. 7

    We check each listing

    When a listing is published we open its page, check that the link to your site is there, and record the live URL on your dashboard. A directory that refuses, closes or only offers paid listings is replaced, and your target does not change.

  8. 8

    You follow it on your dashboard

    Listings shows every directory in your campaign with its DR, status, link type, indexing state and live URL. We email you when your first listings go live, at a quarter, half and three quarters of your target, and when it is met.

Questions

Is anything submitted before I press Start?
No. Nothing is submitted until you have reviewed your setup and pressed Start my campaign.
Do I need accounts on the directories?
No. We submit from Submi's own directory accounts.
Do you promise rankings or traffic?
No. We promise live listings and keep working until your target is met. We do not promise a ranking, traffic, search indexing of any page, or any change in your domain rating.
