The directory grind is a founder time-sink
Conventional advice says submit your startup to 100+ directories. In practice: 100 accounts, 100 forms, weeks of review queues — and half the directories are abandoned or charge $29–$299 for placement that does nothing. Agencies charge $299+ just to do the grind for you.

One high-quality listing beats 100 dead ones
OnlyFoundrs gives you a permanent slug page, structured data for Google, community feed distribution, and category leaderboard ranking — in a 60-second submission. That's the reach directories promise, without the graveyard.
60-second submission
Paste your URL — we scrape title, description, logo, and category. Review and done.
Structured for Google
Canonical URL, JSON-LD, dynamic OG cards, sitemap inclusion — your listing is built to rank.
Feed distribution included
AI routes your product into buyer communities — distribution other directories don't offer at any price.
Embed badge loop
Put the badge on your site — it sends your traffic back to a listing that converts it into votes and users.

FAQ
Should I still submit to other directories?
Submit to the 5–10 that matter (Product Hunt for launch spike, niche directories for your category) — but make your permanent home a listing that compounds, not 100 thin pages.
Is submitting to OnlyFoundrs free?
Yes — free submission, permanent listing, no credit card. Pro ($5/mo) skips the 4-week review.
What do I get that other directories don't give?
A canonical slug URL, community feed distribution, category leaderboards, structured data, a dynamic OG card, and an embed badge — all standard.
How fast can I submit?
60 seconds — paste your URL and the details auto-fill. Review and publish.
