Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our weekly launch format and ad slots.
Every Monday at 00:00 UTC, a lineup of up to 20 products launches on LaunchOnIt. Builders, founders, and visitors vote and engage all week long. On Sunday at 23:59 UTC, the top 3 winners are crowned with verified winner badges and permanent dofollow backlinks.
Yes. Products evolve, and a single launch week shouldn't be your only shot at traction. You can schedule a relaunch from your dashboard, at least 4 weeks after your previous launch week. Your first relaunch is free. After that each relaunch is $19 and skips the free queue, or stays free if your product is on the Growth plan. Each run starts at 0 weekly votes for a fair shot at the podium, while all your previous directory upvotes, reviews, rankings, and backlinks stay intact.
Free submissions get auto-assigned to the earliest week that still has an open slot (each week caps at 20 listings) - if the current and next few weeks are already full, that can push your launch out several weeks. Embedding the official LaunchOnIt badge on your website is completely optional: embedding it unlocks a Verified Maker checkmark and a permanent dofollow backlink (without the badge, the profile link is nofollow unless you win Top 3). Launch ($19) skips that capacity check entirely and guarantees you the live week even once it's full, plus automatic permanent dofollow backlinks with zero badge requirements, an instant verified badge, gold ring styling, a spot above free launches on every category and directory page, priority feed placement, social shoutout on X and Bluesky, and an interactive FAQ section with Schema.org FAQPage structured data for AI search engines (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Copilot).
Growth includes everything in Launch plus a dedicated 1,500+ word review article published on our blog. We craft custom graphics, insert 4+ natural dofollow backlinks, and add Schema.org Article and Review markup to that review. Both Launch and Growth include Schema.org FAQPage structured data for maximum citation in AI search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.
Launch ($19) and Growth ($39) receive guaranteed permanent dofollow backlinks with zero badge embed requirements. Free submissions receive permanent nofollow backlinks by default, or unlock permanent dofollow backlinks immediately by embedding the LaunchOnIt badge or by finishing in the weekly Top 3 podium.
Homepage ads run on ISO weekly cycles (Monday 00:00 UTC to Sunday 23:59 UTC). You can reserve upcoming weeks in advance. Once booked, your promotion goes live automatically for that entire week.
