Stay easy to find

Use your permanent listing for SEO, alternatives pages, and ongoing sharing.

A Launchpadly launch is not finished when the week resets. The permanent listing is the asset.

Make the listing complete

  • Clear description (Markdown) with what it does, who it is for, and what is next
  • Screenshots that show the real product
  • Demo video when the product is hard to understand still
  • Pricing model, tags, tech stack, and social links filled in
  • Founder profile completed so the Person entity behind the product is real

Internal surfaces that keep sending traffic

  • Category pages (/category/...)
  • Tag pages
  • Built-with pages when your tech chips match curiosity searches
  • Alternatives pages for comparison intent
  • Editorial review pages if you purchased Premium

Off-site habits

  1. Add UTM tags when you share (?utm_source=...) so dashboard analytics teach you what works.
  2. Mention the listing in your changelog and launch retrospectives.
  3. Keep the site badge compliant if you are on the free tier.
  4. Update the listing when pricing or positioning changes.

SEO basics for founders

Your own domain still matters most. Use Launchpadly as a high-intent referral and dofollow citation β€” not as a substitute for original content, comparisons, and documentation on your site.

FAQ

Does my listing stay online after launch week?
Yes. Approved startups keep a permanent /startup/{slug} page and can appear on category, tag, built-with, and alternatives pages.
How do alternatives pages help?
/alternatives/{slug} surfaces same-category and tag-overlapping peers. Link it when people ask β€œwhat is like X?”
Should I put my Launchpadly URL on my site?
Free listings require the badge. Even paid listings benefit from linking to your Launchpadly page for social proof.
