Get your tool listed

Be the page Google ranks and AI assistants quote

When a founder searches for a tool like yours, or asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Google's AI overview which one to use, the answer gets built out of pages those systems can read and trust. A listing here is written to be one of them.

  • SEO. A fast, crawlable page on an indexed publication, with clean heading structure and a canonical URL, so it can earn its own place on searches for your name and your category.
  • AEO. Answer engine optimization: SoftwareApplication and FAQPage structured data, so assistants can cite your facts rather than infer them.
  • Written for you. You answer plain questions, our editors write and check the page, and you approve the preview before anything publishes.

Listings

What you get for $19.95 a year

A listing is a full page about your tool at a permanent URL on artofthestart.com, built to hold up for readers and for the crawlers and assistants reading alongside them. The subscription pays for the editorial work behind that page: research, writing, review, markup, and hosting.

How it works

  1. Answer the questions. Plain answers are fine. You do not need polished copy.
  2. Subscribe. $19.95 a year, renewing until you cancel.
  3. Read the preview. Our editors write the page and send you a private link.
  4. Approve. We publish, and the page is indexed from there.

Questions worth asking first

What does the fee actually pay for?

Editorial work. Our team reads what you send, checks it against public sources, writes the profile, edits it, marks it up, and keeps it at a permanent URL for the length of the subscription. That work is the product. The fee does not buy placement in our coverage, a position in any ranking or category order, or a favorable write up.

Will a listing improve my search rankings?

One page and one link will not move a competitive keyword on its own, and anyone who promises that is selling you something. What a listing does is put an indexed, well structured page about your tool on a publication with editorial history, linking back to you. That pays off most on searches for your brand name, on long tail category searches, and in the AI answers that get assembled from pages like it.

What does AEO mean here?

Answer engine optimization. Ranking a page for a query is one job. Being the source an assistant draws from when it writes the answer is a different one. Assistants favor pages with clean structure, plainly stated facts, and machine readable markup, so every listing ships with SoftwareApplication and FAQPage structured data as well as a written FAQ section.

Do you publish every submission?

No. Our editors read each one and come back with questions when something is thin or unclear. If we decline a submission before publication, the first year is refunded in full and the subscription is cancelled.

Can I supply my own copy?

You supply the substance and our editors write the page. That is the whole point of the format. A profile written in editorial voice carries more weight with readers, and with the systems reading it, than marketing copy pasted into a template.

How long does the listing stay up?

For as long as the subscription is active. Cancel whenever you want and the page stays live through the end of the paid term.
