When should I pay for managed submissions instead of DIY?
When you need coverage across many directories, want requirement review and follow-up tracking, and would rather buy back founder time than fill forms yourself.
Submitting yourself is free in cash but expensive in founder time. DIY works for a few high-priority listings; managed campaigns make more sense when you need consistent coverage and follow-up.
| Feature | SubmitToDirectories | DIY Directory Submissions |
|---|---|---|
| Time cost | We handle repetitive form work | You fill every directory yourself |
| Requirements handling | Reviewed per directory before submit | Easy to miss category or asset rules |
| Follow-up | Tracked pending and needs-attention states | Easy to lose track across tabs |
| Best fit | 25–150 target campaigns | A handful of must-win directories |
| Start | Checkout online, send assets after pay | Start researching forms immediately |

No. Directory editors control approvals. We prepare stronger submissions, track outcomes, and revise once when a rejection is fixable and resubmission is allowed.
Buy Starter or Growth on the pricing page. After payment we email the asset checklist and begin submissions.
