DirPilot
Hand-submit your product to 30 to 100+ startup and AI directories, verify every backlink, and track each listing until Google indexes it
A directory submission service that hand-submits products to 30 to 100+ startup and AI directories, verifies backlinks, and tracks listings until Google indexes
The pitch
DirPilot is a directory submission service that hand-submits your product to carefully selected startup and AI directories. The service picks directories based on your category and audience, submits applications manually with unique descriptions for each directory, and handles paid directory fees.
After submission, DirPilot tracks every listing through its lifecycle—from submitted to live to indexed by Google. The service checks that each listing is live, links to your site, uses dofollow links where available, and verifies which pages Google has indexed by day 30.
The company offers three one-time pricing tiers: Economy ($99 for 30+ directories), Business ($149 for 60+ directories with paid options included), and First ($199 for 100+ directories). DirPilot also runs the Hangar, its own tool directory where you can list a single tool for free or pay for priority placement, and Altitude, a pay-what-you-want ranking board with permanent spots.

Quick answers
Which directories will you submit my product to?
DirPilot picks from the directories it tracks based on your category and audience, then sends you the list before starting. You can swap any directory out.
Do you guarantee backlinks?
No one can promise every approval since each directory has its own moderators. DirPilot checks every listing and reports which are live, which links are dofollow, and which pages Google has indexed.
Will directory submissions hurt my SEO?
Not with DirPilot's approach. The service skips link farms, only uses directories with real traffic and moderation, and writes a different description for each directory to avoid duplicate content.
How long until my listings are live?
Most listings go live within two to four weeks. Some directories run long free queues, and the report shows each listing as it lands.
Is this only for AI tools?
No. DirPilot lists SaaS products, mobile apps, browser extensions, developer tools and newsletters, and chooses directories that fit each product type.
DirPilot has a free listing. The owner can unlock the full profile with a paid launch for $5:
- Founder story (locked)
- Milestones (locked)
- Demo video (locked)
- Dofollow website link (locked)
