Resources
Product directories
Directories work when they give you a lasting product page, a relevant audience, or a real launch spike, not when they pad a 500-site spreadsheet. This list favors curated and launch-oriented places indie founders still use. Skip mass auto-approve dumps, reciprocal-link traps, and anything that looks abandoned. Verify link attributes and indexing yourself before you count a listing as SEO progress.
