How to Submit to AI Marketing Directory, and What to Write
AI Marketing Directory (aimarketing.directory) takes submissions at /submit through five required fields. No account, no captcha, nothing to upload and nothing charged. Ahrefs rates the domain 12, and it holds around 60 listings.
We submit customers here, so this is the walkthrough for doing it by hand. The form itself is about as quick as they come, but it ships with no placeholder text in any field, so nothing tells you how long the description should be or what to put in it. That gap is most of what this page is for. The good news up front: on the listings we checked, the link you get is a real followed one and it has stayed that way for years.
The field is empty and unlabelled beyond its title, with no stated minimum. Aim for two or three sentences: what the tool does, who it is for, and what it replaces or saves. Long enough to read as a genuine entry, short enough that nobody needs to cut it down. Write it before you open the form and paste it in.

Per aimarketing.directory/submit, its listings, /fast-track, /partnership, /partner, robots.txt, the sitemap and archived copies, read on 10 August 2026. Domain Rating is Ahrefs' figure via submitator.com/domain-rating-checker; no second provider was queried. Field names, types and required flags are read from the embedded Tally form's own served configuration; nothing was submitted through it. The link audit covers 60 outbound anchors on published listings, all of which carried rel='noopener' with no nofollow, sponsored or ugc among them; the links are server-rendered rather than script-inserted, and three pages re-fetched under a Googlebot user agent matched a same-agent control. Ten of those 60 point at a drp.li short link that redirects onward rather than at the listed tool's own domain, and 39 carry tracking parameters. Durability is from five listings traced back roughly two years, unchanged in href and rel, with no removals observed. The absence of any review, approval or turnaround statement for a standard submission is scoped to a search across the eight page texts we captured; the 48-hour figure that does appear belongs to the paid tiers and is qualified there with 'if you meet our quality standards'. Whether a submission is accepted, when, and whether any acknowledgement is sent are behind the form and were not tested. Submitator submits here as part of its catalog: $29 for 30 directories, $49 for 60 and $79 for 100, one-time, chosen by you in the dashboard with DR shown, badges installed and kept live, a live link per completed listing, rejections credited back as +1 directory and a 30-day refund policy on the conditions in our terms.
How to submit to AI Marketing Directory, step by step
- 1
Write the description first
The form gives you nothing to work from, so drafting outside it saves a stalled tab. Two or three sentences: what it does, who it is for, what it replaces. Have it on the clipboard when you open the page.
- 2
Open aimarketing.directory/submit
The form is a Tally embed inside the page, so it loads in a frame. There is no sign-in step and no captcha, and nothing asks for a logo or a screenshot.
- 3
Fill all five fields
Tool Name, Tool Website, Tool Description, Your Full Name and Your Email, each marked with an asterisk and each genuinely required. The website field is typed as a URL, so include the https:// or the browser will stop you.
- 4
Press Submit and read the next screen carefully
What appears is not a confirmation. It asks 'Are you interested in a guaranteed spot on our directory and the #1 spot for 5 days?' and links to their paid fast-track. You can close it; your submission has already gone.
- 5
Note the date and check back yourself
No turnaround is published for a standard submission and no confirmation email is described. The 48 hours mentioned elsewhere on the site attaches to the paid tiers, so treat the free path as open-ended and look in on the directory later.
The form, field by field
Five inputs, in this order: Tool Name, Tool Website, Tool Description, Your Full Name and Your Email. Each carries a visible asterisk and each is genuinely marked required in the form's own configuration, so there is no ambiguity about what you can skip. The answer is nothing.
Two of them are typed rather than plain text, which helps: the website field expects a URL and the email field expects an email, so your browser catches the obvious mistakes before anything is sent. What none of them have is placeholder text. Every field ships empty, with no hint, no example and no stated minimum, which is unusual and is the single thing most likely to slow you down. Hence the advice to write the description somewhere else first.
There is no category selector, no logo upload and no screenshot field, so unlike most directory forms there is nothing to prepare beyond the text itself. That is the trade being made here: less to fill in, and less control over how your entry looks.
What the listing link looks like
This is the part worth the minute. We parsed 60 outbound anchors across published listings and every one carried rel="noopener" and nothing else. No nofollow, no sponsored, no ugc, and no inconsistency between them. The links sit in the HTML the server sends rather than being added by scripts afterwards, the listing pages are indexable, and three pages we re-fetched under a Googlebot user agent matched a same-agent control, so nothing is being varied for crawlers.
They also last. Five listings we traced back roughly two years were unchanged in both the address and the rel attribute, and we found none that had been removed. For a small free directory that is a better record than several larger ones manage.
Two details to set expectations rather than to complain about. Ten of the 60 point at a drp.li short link that redirects onward instead of straight at the listed tool's own domain, so which of the two you get is not something you control. And the visible anchor text is Try Now on every listing rather than your tool's name, which is how the template is built.
What is knowable after you submit, and what is not
Honestly, not much. Across the eight pages of theirs we captured, the words review, approve and reject do not appear at all, and no turnaround is given for a standard submission. There is a 48-hour figure on the site, but it belongs to the paid tiers and carries its own qualifier there, if you meet our quality standards, so it would be wrong to read it across to a free submission.
The screen after you press Submit is worth flagging because it is easy to misread. It is an offer, not a receipt: Are you interested in a guaranteed spot on our directory and the #1 spot for 5 days? with a link through to their paid fast-track. Your submission has gone either way. No confirmation email is described anywhere, so note the date and check the directory yourself in a few weeks.
The paid options, and whether they change the link
They sell three things alongside free submission: a fast-track at $79 one-time, and partnership tiers at $150 and $1,995 a month. Whether the placement is worth it to you depends on what you want from a DR 12 directory, and that is a judgement rather than a fact.
The fact we can offer is narrower and useful: paying does not upgrade the link. Featured listings and ordinary ones carry the same rel attribute, so what the money buys is position and speed rather than a different kind of backlink. If the link is the reason you are here, the free path gets you the same one.
One form down, twenty-nine to go.
This one takes a minute. The other twenty-nine on your list also take a minute each, which is the part worth handing over.
Is it worth submitting?
For a free listing that takes under a minute, yes. The link is followed, it is in the served HTML, it is indexable, and the listings we could trace have stayed put for about two years. Those are the things that decide whether a directory listing does anything, and this one gets them right.
Set your expectations on the rest of it. It is a small directory with around 60 listings, nobody will tell you when or whether you have been added, and the anchor text will say Try Now rather than your name. Submit it, note the date, and carry on down the list.
Free, five fields, and the link lasts.
Five required boxes at aimarketing.directory/submit, no account, nothing to pay. The form offers no hints at all, so write your two or three sentences first. All 60 outbound links we parsed were followed and server-rendered, and the ones we traced were unchanged after two years. Browse the directories.
FAQ
Where do you submit a tool to AI Marketing Directory?
At aimarketing.directory/submit. The form there is a Tally embed rather than something built into the site, which matters only in that it opens inside a frame. You do not need an account, there is no captcha to clear, and there is nothing to upload.
What does the AI Marketing Directory form ask for?
Five fields, and every one of them is required. In order: Tool Name, Tool Website, Tool Description, Your Full Name and Your Email. The website field is typed as a URL, so your browser will object if you leave off the protocol, and the email field is typed as an email. There is no category picker, no logo upload and no screenshot field, which is why the whole thing takes under a minute.
How long should the AI Marketing Directory description be?
Nothing on the form tells you, so this is a judgement call. Every field on it ships with an empty placeholder, meaning there is no hint text, no minimum length and no example anywhere in the form. Two or three sentences covering what the tool does, who it is for and what it replaces is a sensible target: enough to be a real listing, short enough that nobody has to trim it.
Is it free to submit to AI Marketing Directory?
Nothing is charged for a standard submission and no payment step appears anywhere in the flow. Being precise, the site never actually uses the word free about submitting, so this is free in the sense that nothing asks you for money rather than free as an advertised feature. Paid options do exist separately: a $79 one-time fast-track, and partnership tiers at $150 and $1,995 a month. Worth knowing that paying does not change the kind of link you get, since featured and ordinary listings carry the same rel attribute.
What happens after you submit to AI Marketing Directory?
Less is knowable here than you might expect. The words review, approve and reject do not appear anywhere across the eight pages we captured, and no turnaround is stated for a standard submission. The 48-hour figure on the site belongs to the paid tiers and is always qualified with 'if you meet our quality standards', so it should not be read across to the free path. The screen you land on after submitting is an upsell rather than a receipt, asking 'Are you interested in a guaranteed spot on our directory and the #1 spot for 5 days?' and linking to the paid fast-track. No confirmation email is described.
Does AI Marketing Directory give a dofollow link?
On the listings we checked, yes, and it holds up over time. All 60 outbound anchors we parsed carried rel='noopener' and nothing else: no nofollow, no sponsored, no ugc, and none of them missing a rel where the others had one. The links are in the HTML the server sends rather than added by scripts, the pages are indexable, and five listings we followed back roughly two years were unchanged in both href and rel, with none removed. One thing to note: 10 of those 60 point at a drp.li short link that redirects on to the tool rather than straight at the tool's own domain, and the visible anchor text is 'Try Now' rather than your tool's name.
Does Submitator submit to AI Marketing Directory?
Yes, we cover it. Being straight with you: this particular form is short enough that filling it in yourself costs you almost nothing. The case for handing it over is the other twenty-nine, and the admin of knowing which ones landed. Thirty directories run $29 one-time, you pick them from a list that shows each Domain Rating, and nothing goes out that you did not choose.
