Frequently asked questions
Is listing my startup on Launchory really free?
Yes. Free listings stay live forever. Free listings start with a nofollow link and automatically unlock a dofollow link when you reach 10 community upvotes (or upgrade to Premium).
Why is the badge required for free listings?
The badge is how we verify you own the site and keep the directory spam-free. Premium listings skip the badge requirement entirely.
What does the premium listing include?
Premium is a one-time $29 payment that gets you instant approval (skip the queue), a guaranteed dofollow backlink with no badge required, and 90 days of featured placement across the directory.
What is a dofollow backlink and why does it matter?
A dofollow link passes SEO authority from Launchory (Ahrefs DR 50+ / Moz DA 40) to your website, helping your search rankings. Free listings start with a nofollow link and unlock a dofollow backlink when they reach 10 community upvotes. Premium listings receive a guaranteed dofollow link instantly from Day 1.
How long does approval take for free listings?
We review submissions continuously. Most free listings are approved within a few days — there is no waiting line and no queue you have to pay to skip. You get an email the moment your listing goes live.
Can I edit my listing after it is approved?
Yes, you can edit anytime from your dashboard. Content changes are re-reviewed briefly before going live again to keep directory quality high.
