Our reviewers look at hundreds of submissions every month. Most of the rejections are for the same handful of reasons — and almost all of them are fixable before you hit submit. Here's exactly what we check, and how to make sure your submission passes first time.
1. Is the Site Actually Live?
This sounds obvious, but it's the most common failure point. We check the URL at time of review — not at time of submission. If your site was live when you submitted but is down when we review it (maintenance mode, expired hosting, a botched deploy), it gets rejected. Make sure you're on reliable hosting before submitting.
2. Is There Real Content?
A landing page with one paragraph of Lorem Ipsum, a "coming soon" page, or a parked domain doesn't qualify. We're looking for a site that actually does something — a working product, a real service, or substantial informational content. If you're pre-launch, wait until you have something real to show.
3. Does the Description Match the Site?
We auto-crawl your metadata, but reviewers read the actual page. If your description says "AI-powered CRM for enterprise teams" but the site is clearly a basic contact manager with no AI features, that's a mismatch we'll flag. Write what your product actually does right now — not your 18-month roadmap vision.
4. Is the URL Clean?
Submit your root domain: https://yourproduct.com — not a subpage, not a UTM-tagged link, not a path like yourproduct.com/en/landing. We index the root domain only. If your product lives on a subdomain (like app.yourproduct.com), submit that subdomain as the primary URL.
5. Is It Categorised Correctly?
Choosing the right category affects discoverability. Browse our full category list before submitting and pick the most specific category that fits. A generic "Business" category gets less targeted traffic than "Project Management" or "HR Tools." If nothing fits well, use our contact form and suggest a category — we add new ones regularly.
6. No Prohibited Content
We don't list gambling sites (outside licensed jurisdictions), adult content, cryptocurrency schemes, link farms, or any site that exists primarily to rank in search rather than serve users. If your site's primary purpose is manipulating search rankings — even white-hat techniques — it's not a product listing, it's an SEO play. We'll catch it.
