Submit your tool to Maomu (猫目)

Maomu is a large Chinese-language AI tools index with rankings, news and an open-source trends section. Makers submit a product for free through a short form that goes to manual review, with paid promotion slots offered alongside.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free; paid promotion slots, price shown on request

Is Maomu (猫目) worth it?

Worth it for AI products that have, or want, Chinese-speaking users. Product pages are indexable and link out with a followed link, and the free form is short. For an English-only product the listing mainly gives a backlink and little relevant traffic, since the whole site and its descriptions are in Chinese. Leave the paid promotion box unticked unless you mean to buy, and give an email if you have no WeChat.

Who should submit to Maomu (猫目)?

Suits AI tools that support Chinese, sell into China, or target Chinese-speaking developers and creators. Also works for well-known global AI tools that Chinese users already look for. Weak fit for English-only niche products, and no fit for non-AI software, since the site only covers AI tools.
