Get into the lists
AI quotes.

Yes. Anyone can submit a product at /submit and it costs nothing — it goes into a human review queue, and if it is a fit it gets a page. Paying skips the queue and buys the part that takes work: structured data written properly, the "best for" and "not for" lines assistants quote, internal links, IndexNow submission, and a confirmation that the page actually landed in the Google and Bing indexes. You are buying the structure AI reads, not a link.

You can, and you should — but assistants weight it differently because you are the interested party. A comparison hosted by a third party is treated as an outside assessment. It is not a content difference, it is a source-identity difference. That is the entire reason this service exists.

Live and indexed are different things. Live means the page exists at its URL and you can share it — 2 to 5 business days depending on tier. Indexed means Google and Bing have crawled and stored it, which is out of my hands and typically takes days to a few weeks; new pages on an established site land faster than on a new domain. I check, and I tell you when it happens rather than leaving you to wonder.

No, and this is not negotiable. Ordering is deterministic and never touches who paid. The moment a list is ordered by money it stops being worth citing, and then the placement you bought is worthless too. Paying decides whether you are included and reviewed properly — never where you sit.

Comparison pages are scoped separately, and no — not unless it is true, and it usually is not true across the board. Every comparison page splits by scenario: when to pick you, when to pick them, and where both fall short. One-sided comparisons do not get cited and readers do not believe them, which means a page that declares you the winner is the fastest way to waste your money.

No. Paid placements carry rel="sponsored", which is what Google requires. This costs you nothing that matters here: AI crawlers do not read rel attributes, so citation value is unaffected. You are buying a citable third-party page, not link equity.

I refuse the listing and refund in full. This directory covers AI, developer and agent tooling; if a product sits outside that, adding it makes the whole list read as generic and every page on it becomes less citable. I would rather keep the list credible than take the money.

Delivery and indexing — not rankings. Two different clocks, and the page states both: your listing is live in 2–5 business days, which is when you can see and share it. Getting into the Google and Bing indexes is a separate event that I do not control the timing of; it usually takes days to a few weeks. The 90-day figure is not how long it should take, it is the point at which I stop arguing and refund you. I will not promise a citation-share number, because no publisher controls what an assistant says and anyone promising one is guessing.

Partly, and it is worth knowing exactly how far the proof goes. Bing Webmaster Tools reports publisher-side AI citation data for this site — which queries triggered citations and what share cited us. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini publish nothing comparable to publishers, so for those the evidence is referral traffic, not citation counts. Anyone selling you a guaranteed "ChatGPT citation" number is inventing it. What ships with every placement is the indexing check; deeper citation reporting is part of the consulting work, which is scoped on a call.
