# JustGotFound Platform Help

Helps the user submit to, optimize listings on, and get the most from JustGotFound — a community-curated product discovery platform positioned as a Product Hunt alternative.

## Step 1 — Gather context


If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated knowledge.

Ask the user:

1. **What do you need help with?**
   - A) Submitting a product to JustGotFound
   - B) Understanding the backlink value (DR23 dofollow)
   - C) Evaluating paid promotion tiers ($50-$500)
   - D) Comparing JustGotFound with other directories
   - E) Something else — describe it

2. **What's your product?**
   - A) SaaS / software tool
   - B) Mobile app
   - C) API / developer tool
   - D) No-code / low-code tool
   - E) Something else

3. **What's your primary goal?**
   - A) SEO backlinks (dofollow)
   - B) Visibility and early users
   - C) Both
   - D) Just getting listed everywhere

**If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step.** Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.

## Step 2 — Route or answer directly

If the request maps to a different skill, route:
- Multi-directory launch strategy → `/sales-launch-directory`
- Product Hunt launch → `/sales-producthunt`
- Email marketing to subscribers → `/sales-email-marketing`
- Landing page optimization → `/sales-checkout`
- Audience growth strategy → `/sales-audience-growth`
- Other specific directory platforms → hand off to that platform's skill

Otherwise, answer directly from the JustGotFound reference below.

### When JustGotFound makes sense

**Good fit:**
- You want a free, instant listing with a dofollow backlink
- You're doing a broad directory sweep and want another free submission
- Your product fits one of the active categories (AI, Productivity, Marketing, Dev Tools)

**Not ideal:**
- Your primary goal is high-DR backlinks — DR23 is low compared to alternatives (SoloPush DR46, ProductBurst DR46, Open Launch DR65)
- You want high referral traffic — JustGotFound is a newer platform with modest traffic
- You need editorial curation / credibility signal — no editorial review process

## Step 4 — Actionable guidance

### For users submitting (free tier)

1. Create account at justgotfound.com
2. Prepare: clear product name, problem-focused tagline, screenshots of product in action
3. Submit your product to the most relevant category
4. Add UTM tracking: `?utm_source=justgotfound&utm_medium=directory&utm_campaign=launch`
5. Engage with any votes or comments
6. Share your listing link to drive community engagement

**Note**: The dofollow backlink from DR23 has modest SEO value. For higher-impact backlinks, prioritize SoloPush (DR46), ProductBurst (DR46), Open Launch (DR65), or MicroLaunch (DR59).

### For users considering paid promotion

**Compare with alternatives:**
- **$60 on JustGotFound (1 week)** = featured placement on a DR23 platform
- **$12 on Open Launch** = guaranteed DR65 dofollow backlink + next-day launch (one-time)
- **$9.90 on OpenHunts** = guaranteed DR50 dofollow backlink + next-Monday launch
- **$39 on CtrlAlt.cc** = 1-week homepage feature + dofollow backlink (DA30)

**Verdict**: The paid promotion tiers are expensive relative to alternatives. Unless you specifically need visibility on JustGotFound, better backlink value per dollar exists at Open Launch ($12 for DR65) and OpenHunts ($9.90 for DR50).

### For multi-directory launchers

JustGotFound fits into **Phase 1 — Instant listings** as a free, no-queue submission with a dofollow backlink. The DR23 is low compared to other instant-listing platforms (SoloPush DR46, ProductBurst DR46), but it's still a free dofollow backlink worth including in a broad directory sweep. Submit alongside other instant platforms on Day 1.

## Gotchas

*Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about pricing and features that may change.*

- **DR23 is low.** This is among the lowest DR in the directory landscape. The dofollow backlink has minimal SEO impact compared to DR46+ alternatives. Still worth submitting for free, but don't prioritize it over higher-DR options.
- **20% tax on all paid tiers.** The listed prices don't include the 20% tax JustGotFound charges to "cover payment processing fees and platform maintenance costs." A $50 promotion actually costs $60.
- **Very new platform.** Launched June 2025 with ~20 Product Hunt upvotes. Traffic data is unavailable. Set realistic expectations for referral traffic and community engagement.
- **No editorial curation.** Unlike curated directories (CtrlAlt.cc, LaunchingNext, Awesome Indie), JustGotFound has no editorial review. This means lower barrier to entry but also less quality signal for being listed.
- **Paid promotion is expensive relative to value.** $60/week for featured placement on a DR23 platform compares poorly to $12 for a guaranteed DR65 backlink on Open Launch.
- **Earnings program details unclear.** The platform mentions a content monetization/earnings program, but specifics on payouts and requirements are not documented.

- **Self-improving**: If you discover something not covered here, append it to `references/learnings.md` with today's date.

## Examples

### Example 1: Submit a product for free
**User says**: "I want to submit my AI writing tool to JustGotFound"
**Skill does**:
1. Walks through the submission process — account creation, materials prep
2. Recommends the AI & Machine Learning category (471 products, most active)
3. Notes the dofollow backlink is DR23 — modest SEO value
4. Recommends also submitting to higher-DR instant-listing directories (SoloPush, ProductBurst)
**Result**: Product submitted with realistic expectations about backlink and traffic value

### Example 2: Evaluate if paid promotion is worth it
**User says**: "Should I pay $180/month for JustGotFound featured placement?"
**Skill does**:
1. Explains what the 1-month promotion includes — priority ranking, social media promo, weekly reports
2. Notes the actual cost is $216 with 20% tax
3. Compares with alternatives: Open Launch $12 (DR65 dofollow), OpenHunts $9.90 (DR50 dofollow)
4. Recommends: spend $21.90 on Open Launch + OpenHunts instead for far better backlink value
**Result**: Clear cost-benefit comparison showing better alternatives exist

### Example 3: Compare JustGotFound with other free directories
**User says**: "Is JustGotFound worth adding to my directory submission list?"
**Skill does**:
1. Shows comparison table: JustGotFound DR23 vs ProductBurst DR46 vs SoloPush DR46 vs Open Launch DR65
2. Notes it's free and instant — no downside to including it in a broad sweep
3. Recommends: submit it as part of Phase 1 instant listings, but don't prioritize it over higher-DR options
**Result**: User understands where JustGotFound fits in the directory hierarchy

## Troubleshooting

### Low engagement after submitting
**Symptom**: Product listed but getting very few votes or views
**Cause**: JustGotFound is a newer platform (launched June 2025) with modest traffic. Community engagement is still building.
**Solution**: Don't rely solely on organic discovery. Share your JustGotFound listing on your own channels to drive initial votes. Focus your engagement efforts on higher-traffic directories (Product Hunt, ProductBurst, SoloPush).

### Backlink not appearing in SEO tools
**Symptom**: Submitted and listed, but Ahrefs/Moz doesn't show the backlink
**Cause**: New platforms take time to be crawled. JustGotFound's low DR means search engines crawl it less frequently.
**Solution**: Wait 2-4 weeks for crawlers to pick it up. Verify manually by inspecting the HTML of your listing page for a dofollow link. If the link is present but not indexed, it will appear in SEO tools eventually. Focus on higher-DR directory backlinks for faster indexing.

### Not sure if paid promotion is worth it
**Symptom**: Considering paid tiers but unsure of ROI
**Cause**: JustGotFound's modest traffic and low DR make paid promotion a harder sell compared to alternatives.
**Solution**: Unless you have a specific reason to invest in JustGotFound visibility (e.g., strong category match, existing community presence), redirect your budget to Open Launch ($12 for DR65 backlink) or OpenHunts ($9.90 for DR50 backlink). These offer better backlink value per dollar.
