Frequently Asked Questions

Click Submit Startup in the navigation. Fill in your product details and choose between a free listing (requires a backlink) or a paid listing. Free listings are reviewed manually once the backlink is verified.

Free listings require a do-follow backlink to sellwithboost.com from your website. Our system checks for the backlink automatically. Once verified, your listing is reviewed and approved within 24–48 hours.

Free listings are typically approved within 24–48 hours after the backlink is verified. Paid listings are reviewed within a few hours of payment. If you've been waiting longer, check your email for a follow-up or contact us.

Make sure the link is do-follow and on a publicly accessible page (not behind a login). Sometimes it takes a few hours for crawlers to index a new page. You'll receive follow-up emails if there's an issue, and an admin can manually recheck from the listing page.

Yes — we accept "coming soon" and early-access products. Just make sure your listing description accurately reflects the current stage of your product.

Standard listings ($49) give you a do-follow backlink and 7 days of front-page visibility. Premium listings ($149) include a homepage highlight badge, 30-day front-page placement, and a do-follow link from a higher-DR page.

It's a one-time fee. Your listing stays live indefinitely — the featured placement lasts for the stated period, then your listing remains in the directory without the highlight.

Because this is a digital service delivered immediately, all sales are final. Please review our Refund Policy before purchasing.

Yes — once your free listing is approved, you can upgrade to Standard or Premium from your dashboard. Streak milestones may unlock discount codes for Premium upgrades.

Every registered user can upvote up to 10 startups per day. Upvotes determine the ranking on the homepage. You can toggle an upvote off if you change your mind.

Users who maintain a 5-day login streak earn 2x voting power — their upvote is displayed as more impactful. This is a cosmetic multiplier that rewards active community members.

No. Upvotes are only cast by real community members. Paid features (highlighted placement, featured badge) affect visibility but not the organic upvote count.
