Submit your tool to IndieFame

IndieFame is a small reviewed SaaS directory. You sign in with Google, draft a listing with a long SEO profile, add an IndieFame badge to your homepage or footer, verify it, and then an admin approves the listing.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link Free, but an IndieFame badge on your site is required

Is IndieFame worth it?

Worth it only if you are fine adding a badge to your homepage for a small directory. The site showed 31 listed products in November 2026. The link is nofollow by default and only turns dofollow when an admin enables it for a listing, which in practice applied to most badge-verified owners checked. Fill the full SEO profile, since the product page is built from it, and keep the badge in place.

Who should submit to IndieFame?

Suits indie SaaS and AI founders who control their site's HTML and want a detailed, indexable product page with an alternatives and FAQ section. Not a fit for products where you cannot add a badge to the homepage, for anyone wanting real traffic now (the directory is very small), or for makers who avoid reciprocal badges.

What you need before you submit

  • A Google account (the only sign-in method)
  • An IndieFame badge on the product homepage or footer, verified before submitting
  • A logo in JPEG, PNG, WebP or SVG, max 2 MB
  • At least one category, max 3
  • Product name, URL, tagline and description

How to submit to IndieFame

  1. Sign in with Google at indiefa.me/dashboard
  2. Create a draft at /dashboard/products/new
  3. Fill the details and the SEO profile (keyword, audience, use case, features, alternatives, FAQs)
  4. Upload a logo and pick up to 3 categories
  5. Add the IndieFame badge to your homepage or footer and run the badge check
  6. Submit for admin approval
