Submit your tool to IndieMap

IndieMap is a world map of independent builders and startups. You sign in, drop a pin where you are building, add a logo, description and link, and pay $1 per pin.

Go to the submit page Link type not known $1 per pin, once

Is IndieMap worth it?

Cheap enough to add as a small extra for an indie product with a real founder and location. Expect little traffic and do not rely on it for SEO, since the pin links load inside the map and the rel value could not be confirmed. Keep your site online: the site says pins are removed if the linked site is down for two months or more.

Who should submit to IndieMap?

Suits solo founders and small indie teams who like being placed on a map next to other builders. It does not suit companies with no person or place to show, or anyone looking for a launch day audience or a confirmed dofollow link.

What you need before you submit

  • A live website
  • An account (sign in at /signin)
  • A location, logo and short description
  • $1 per pin

  1. Sign in at indiemap.world/signin
