Every launch platform sells you the same thing: a moment

Leaderboard sites, email slots, directory listings — they're all launch-day events that expire. The platform that actually compounds is the one that keeps routing buyers to your listing after launch day ends.

The stack that covers all four

Permanent listing first, spikes on top, backlinks underneath.

01

Base: OnlyFoundrs

Free, instant, permanent — the layer every event lands on and keeps paying.

02

Spike: Product Hunt

Launch-day attention when you can mobilize a network.

03

Backlinks: directory set

The ranked 65-spot checklist for SEO surface, not traffic.
