Where the reach comes from
● 8.3M+ Google Search impressions — Since launch on 18 March 2026. Average position 7.1.
● 283K+ citations in Copilot answers — Six months to 10 November 2026, measured by Bing, not estimated.
● DR 45, 3K+ referring domains — 10K+ backlinks all time. Zero paid links, zero paid ads.
● 1,400+ tools, 300+ comparisons — Every listing sits inside a graph of related pages, not alone.
Most directory pitches end at the listing. You submit a tool, you get a page, the page sits there. This explains what the page is actually connected to, with the numbers behind it, including the parts that will not help you.
A listing is one of three surfaces, and it is the weakest
A product page alone is a thin page competing against every other directory listing for the same tool. It earns impressions, rarely clicks. What moves the needle is being referenced from pages that already rank.
| Surface |
What it is |
What it does |
| Product listing |
Your tool’s page in the directory |
Captures brand-name searches. Indexes fast. Low click-through on its own. |
| Editorial article |
A written piece that cites your tool among others |
Ranks for the problem your tool solves, where buyers actually search. |
| Comparison |
Head-to-head against named alternatives |
Highest intent on the site, and the format AI assistants quote most. |
Every listing is linkable from all three. Most tools only ever use the first.
What one ordinary day looks like
These are Search Console figures for 10 November 2026, a single 24-hour window across the whole site — not a best-ever month presented as typical:
| Page type |
Impressions in 24h |

| Whole site |
35K+ |
average position 7.6 |
| Top editorial article |
2,000+ |
5.7% |
| A single product listing |
1,700+ |
under 1% |
| Another product listing |
1,300+ |

| A comparison page |
300+ |
12.5% |
Read the last two rows together, because they are the whole argument. The listing was seen nearly six times more often than the comparison and produced a third as many clicks. Visibility and traffic are not the same purchase, and the cheaper surface is not the one that converts.
The difference is not budget. It is that a comparison answers a question someone was already asking, while a listing describes a product to someone who was not.
The number that is harder to buy elsewhere
283K+ citations in Microsoft Copilot and partner AI answers over six months, across 150+ cited pages on average. That figure comes from Bing Webmaster Tools counting its own ecosystem — a first-party count, not a sampled estimate.
Separately, Ahrefs records 250+ AI responses citing the site across 100+ pages on the platforms it tracks, and the site also appears in Google AI Overviews. Those come from a sampled panel rather than a census, so they are reported separately rather than added to the figure above.
This matters for a specific reason. When someone asks an assistant to recommend a tool, the assistant quotes pages it can ground an answer in — comparison tables, scored reviews, anything with named alternatives and stated prices. A product page that reads like marketing copy is not quotable. A comparison row that says what your tool costs and what it does not do is.
What this will not do for you
Worth stating plainly, because the opposite claim is what most directories sell.
- A listing will not rank you for competitive head terms. At DR 45 the site competes for long-tail and problem-shaped queries, not for one-word category searches.
- Impressions are not visits. Most impressions never become clicks, on this site or any other. Expect a listing’s traffic in the tens, not the hundreds, until it is linked from pages that rank.
- Nothing here is guaranteed placement in an AI answer. Citations are earned by the page being quotable and are counted after the fact. Anyone selling you guaranteed AI citations is selling something they cannot deliver.
- A bad product page stays a bad product page. A listing with two sentences of copy and no pricing will underperform regardless of what links to it.
- This is not a traffic firehose. The site is about eight months old. The honest frame is compounding discovery, not volume.
How to actually use it, in order
1. Make the listing worth citing
Real pricing with the free-tier limits stated. What it does not do. A specific standout feature rather than three adjectives. Listings that state prices get quoted; listings that say "powerful AI-driven platform" do not.
2. Get into a comparison, not just the directory
Comparisons are the highest-converting pages on the site and the format assistants quote. Being named alongside the alternatives a buyer is already considering is worth more than a standalone page, even when the comparison does not rank you first.
3. Accept an honest review
Reviews here state limitations. That reads as a cost and functions as an asset: a page that names a weakness is the kind of page an assistant trusts enough to quote, and the kind a buyer believes. Every tool reviewed is scored against the same 34 criteria.
4. Correct the record when it is wrong
Vendors have sent corrections on pricing, model versions and feature claims, and those pages were rebuilt — including one where the correction came with the vendor contradicting its own earlier claim, which was published too. Factual corrections are free and do not require a commercial relationship.
5. Give it months, not weeks
Indexing is fast; ranking is not. The pages producing the best numbers today were published weeks or months before they started converting.
Frequently asked questions
How many people will see my listing?
There is no honest per-listing answer, because it depends entirely on the search demand for your category. What can be stated: the site drew 35K+ impressions and 500+ clicks in a single day in November 2026 at an average position of 7.1, and individual product listings have drawn 1,700+ impressions in 24 hours. Your listing could be well above or well below that.
Is a listing free?
Yes. Submitting a tool costs nothing and listings are not ranked by payment. Submit a tool here. Paid placements exist separately and are labelled as such — they do not change scores or ordering in editorial pieces.
Do you accept payment for a better review score?
No. Scores come from testing against 34 criteria and the site runs zero paid ads. A vendor can pay for placement and still get a review that names its weaknesses, and that has happened.
What does getting cited by an AI assistant require?
A page an assistant can ground a claim in: stated prices, named alternatives, specific limits, a date. Comparison tables and scored reviews get quoted far more than product descriptions. You cannot buy it and neither can we.
How is 283K+ citations measured?
Bing Webmaster Tools reports citations in Microsoft Copilot and partner AI answers. The figure covers the six months to 10 November 2026 and is Microsoft counting its own surface. It does not include ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google, which are measured separately and are much smaller numbers.
I am a founder with no budget. What should I do?
Submit the listing, write the description as if a buyer were reading it rather than an investor, state your real pricing including the free tier, and name what your tool does not do. That is free and it is most of the work.
Where these numbers come from. Search figures are Google Search Console for this domain. The Copilot citation count is Bing Webmaster Tools, AI Performance. Domain Rating, referring domains, backlinks, AI Overviews and cross-platform AI responses are Ahrefs. Tool, comparison and review counts are live counts from this site’s own database. Figures read 10 November 2026.
Self-reported metrics about our own site. The weak numbers are published alongside the strong ones, because a pitch containing only flattering figures is not worth reading. Paid placement options are here and are kept separate from editorial scoring.
