Is RoboDebut worth it?
Worth it if you already use a coding agent and accept a badge on your homepage. The listing page links to your site with a plain followed link, it is free, and there is no account. The directory is very new and small, so expect a modest backlink, not visitors. Make sure the badge is in the server-rendered HTML of your homepage, or the check fails.
Who should submit to RoboDebut?
Suits developers and makers who work with Claude Code, Codex or similar agents and run a site on their own apex or www domain. Not a fit for products hosted on a subdomain like app.example.com, sites that set nofollow at page level, people who do not want a badge on their homepage, or anyone looking for launch traffic.
What you need before you submit
- A public HTTPS homepage on the apex or www domain
- The RoboDebut badge as a visible, followed link in the raw homepage HTML
- No nofollow in robots meta or X-Robots-Tag on the homepage
- Name and tagline up to 80 characters, description of 20 to 2000 characters
- One category and a contact email
