The problem
Submitting your tool to an AI directory is not the same thing as being listed in one. A submission can sit in a queue for weeks. It can be quietly rejected. It can be published with a nofollow link, or never indexed by Google, or stripped of the description you wrote. The existing submission services promise outcomes — "your tool to 100+ directories" — and stop measuring the moment they hit submit. Nobody tells you which ones actually worked.
What we do
We track the directories you submit to and re-check each listing every day. For every one we currently verify two signals: is the listing still live (we fetch the directory page and look for a link back to your product URL), and is that backlink dofollow (we read the link's rel attribute). The status you see is timestamped and updated automatically. If fewer than half of your submissions go live within 30 days, you get your $99 Audit fee back — that is the portfolio refund guarantee. Google indexing and anchor-text fidelity are on the methodology roadmap but are not checked today; we will not gate refunds on signals we do not actually verify.
The principle
We call it "Verified, not promised." Wherever a number appears on this site, it should be either a third-party measurement or something we re-checked ourselves. Domain authority comes from Ahrefs. Traffic estimates come from SimilarWeb. Each directory page shows its own lastEditorialReviewdate so you know when our notes were last looked over by a human. If we do not have data, we say so — we'd rather show "—" than invent a confident-sounding number.
Who runs this
An indie team building in public. No marketing department, no customer logo wall, no claims of company size or year of founding — those things would just be filler. The honest answer is: small enough that the same person who writes the directory reviews also reads the support email.
