Eligibility

Who InstantLaunch accepts

You need
A live URL that clears their own eligibility score, an internal OpenPageRank-style check run on the URL before pricing unlocks
A tagline of at least 50 characters
A description of at least 200 characters
A logo under 500KB and at least one wide screenshot
Their badge on your site, if you want the free tier's link to be dofollow
You'll be rejected if
Nothing published, but the submission form is invisible until an account exists, so there is no way to check the rules first.

What you actually get
A page of your own at /<product-name> with your logo, tagline, description, screenshots and a Visit button, published the second you press the button with nobody reading it first. The link carries UTM parameters and is rel="noopener nofollow" until their badge is verified on your site, at which point it becomes a dofollow they call permanent. What it is not is an audience: the board had four live products the day SubmitMap went on, one of them a Delaware bail bonds firm, so nothing about being listed here puts you in front of anybody. The reason to do it is the badge-for-dofollow trade, and that is the whole of it.

How to submit to InstantLaunch

  1. Sign in with Google
    /submit bounces to a Sign in to continue dialog offering Google and nothing else. The account is created on the first sign-in.
  2. Paste the URL and let it score you
    Every plan including Free is locked behind Enter an eligible URL to unlock pricing. Typing the URL is not enough and neither is blurring the field: the check only runs when you press Autofill beside it.
  3. Undo what Autofill wrote
    The same button that unlocks pricing rewrites the listing. It set the name to Submitmap, invented a tagline and a description, and pulled a logo and a screenshot. The assets were right; the words were not. Replace all three text fields from your own copy.
  4. Choose Free, because it is not chosen for you
    Premium+ at $13 is preselected and the button reads Pay $13 - Launch. Free sits last and unhighlighted. Click it and confirm the button changes to Launch for Free before pressing anything.
  5. Publish, then trade the badge for the dofollow
    It publishes immediately with no review. The product page then shows the badge snippet and a Verify now button, and the link stays nofollow until that verification passes.

Gotchas

A paid tier is preselected. Premium+ at $13 is chosen for you when the form loads and the button reads Pay $13 - Launch, with Free last in the list and unhighlighted. Nothing warns you, and the checkout is Dodo Payments with all sales final by their own terms.
The dofollow is conditional and the condition is permanent. The free listing publishes nofollow and only becomes dofollow once their badge is verified on your site, so taking the badge down takes the link value with it.
The button that unlocks pricing also writes your listing. Autofill is the only way to pass the eligibility gate, and it fills the name, tagline and description with its own copy: it capitalised the product wrong and wrote two sentences nobody at the company had approved. Diff all three fields before publishing, because it publishes instantly and with no review.
The eligibility score can refuse you before you see a price. It is their own OpenPageRank-style number, not Ahrefs or Moz, no threshold is published, and until it passes every plan including Free is greyed out.

Let your agent submit to InstantLaunch

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the InstantLaunch playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.

What it does for this platform
Checks your product against the 6 InstantLaunch rules above, so you find out you would be rejected before you open a tab.
Hands your agent all 9 fields this form asks for, 2 of them optional, already filled from your pack.
Warns you that InstantLaunch looks for its badge on your site, so it has to be live before you submit rather than after.
Tells you what paying buys here, so you pick it on purpose: free publishes instantly and links nofollow until you carry their badge, which flips it to dofollow. Paid removes the badge instead: Premium is $5 (from $10) for one dofollow, Premium+ is $13 (from $26) for three including a listing on ListBulb, and Featured is $35 (from $70) for a month on the homepage plus four. All one-time through Dodo Payments, and their own terms say all sales are final.
