About launch stories
What is a launch story?
Every product that launches on DiscoverLaunches with Premium gets its own feature article on this blog. It's a plain-spoken profile of the product for the people who might use it, not a press release and not a paid review.
An in-depth profile
About 1,800 words on what the product does, how it works, who it's for and how it compares, written from the product and its site, then reviewed by hand.
Links into the maker's site
Four or more dofollow links to the homepage, pricing, docs and signup, woven into the text rather than dumped at the end.
Built to be found
Listed here, in the RSS feed, the sitemap and llms-full.txt, with structured data so Google and AI assistants can read and cite it.
