# Submit to Software Advice

> Launch Llama directory submission tracker review — last reviewed 2026-08-25

- **Canonical:** https://tools.launchllama.co/tools/launch-directories/software-advice
- **Markdown twin:** https://tools.launchllama.co/directory-spokes/software-advice.md
- **Directory:** Software Advice (softwareadvice.com)
- **Submit URL:** https://softwareadvice.com
- **DR:** 66
- **Pricing:** Paid
- **Category:** Marketplace (#7 of 15 by DR in this category)
- **Referral traffic:** Medium
- **Backlink quality:** Strong
- **Link type:** Mixed — Vendor profiles on softwareadvice.com with outbound website links; advisor-led buyer comparison pages

## Quick verdict

Advisor-led Marketplace marketplace — DR 66, paid submission required. Worth it for B2B SaaS with lead budget; skip if you only want a free Capterra-style profile.

**Best for:** B2B SaaS vendors targeting Software Advice advisor consultations and buyer shortlists · Teams already on Gartner Digital Markets willing to add advisor-channel coverage

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Vendor onboarding and profile verification typically take days to two weeks. Qualified lead flow ramps as profile completeness and category fit improve.
- **Review:** Gartner Digital Markets verifies vendor claims, categories, and profile data. Advisor shortlists favor complete profiles in active software categories.
- **Common rejections:** Non-software products, duplicate vendor records, unverifiable domains, or miscategorized listings outside Software Advice taxonomy.
- **Reputation:** Paid vendor paths exist — do not assume free Capterra parity. Lead quality depends on category demand and advisor match volume.

## Pros

- DR 66 softwareadvice.com with Strong backlink on vendor profile pages
- Advisor-led buyer matching — higher intent than passive directory rows
- Strong complement to Capterra and GetApp within Gartner Digital Markets
- Category comparison pages indexed for “best {category} software” queries

## Cons

- Pricing is Paid for many vendor lead programs — not a free directory form
- Medium traffic vs. Very High on sibling Capterra and G2 properties
- Lead volume varies heavily by software category and buyer demand
- Confusing overlap with Capterra/GetApp — maintain one canonical vendor record

## What you need before you submit

- Business email on your product domain for Gartner Digital Markets verification
- Product name, logo, descriptions, and Software Advice category selection
- Pricing model, deployment type, and target company size fields completed
- Screenshots, demo URL, and support contact for profile completeness
- Budget clarity for Paid vendor lead programs vs. basic profile presence

**Gotchas:**

- Software Advice ≠ Capterra — same parent company, different buyer journey (advisor calls vs. self-serve browse)
- Do not duplicate “List Your Software & Get Qualified Leads” signup thinking it replaces a full vendor profile
- Category pick drives advisor shortlist inclusion — match buyer search language

## Submission mechanics

- **Account:** Gartner Digital Markets vendor account — onboard via softwareadvice.com vendor paths or linked Gartner portal credentials.
- **Categories:** Select primary B2B software category from Software Advice taxonomy — CRM, HR, accounting, etc.
- **Anchor text:** Product name on vendor profile; website button links to submitted homepage URL.
- **Link placement:** Dedicated vendor page on softwareadvice.com — crawlable profile linked from category and advisor flows.

## FAQ

### How is Software Advice different from Capterra and GetApp?

All three are Gartner Digital Markets properties. Software Advice emphasizes advisor-led buyer consultations and shortlists. Capterra and GetApp skew toward self-serve category browsing and reviews.

### Is Software Advice free to list?

Basic vendor profile presence may be free through Gartner Digital Markets, but meaningful qualified leads often require Paid vendor programs — unlike a simple free directory submission.

### What is “List Your Software & Get Qualified Leads”?

That is a vendor lead-gen entry point on softwareadvice.com — related to Software Advice lead programs, not the public buyer directory browse experience at capterra.com or getapp.com.

### Does Software Advice give dofollow backlinks?

Vendor profile pages include crawlable website links on DR 66. We rate backlink quality Strong — combine with advisor-channel leads, not SEO alone.
