FAQ

How long does Product Hunt approval take? There is no separate approval queue once your draft is complete — you pick a launch date and go live at midnight PT. Policy review can delay launches with incomplete or non-compliant pages.

Does Product Hunt give a dofollow backlink? Product Hunt launch pages include a crawlable link to your site. Link attributes vary; treat the value as brand traffic plus DR 91 referral potential rather than guaranteed dofollow SEO.

Can you edit a Product Hunt listing after launch? Yes for copy, gallery, and comments during launch day. Changing your primary URL after launch typically requires contacting Product Hunt support.

Is Product Hunt free? Launching a product is free. Product Hunt also offers paid Ship Pro features for prep and analytics, but the core launch listing does not require payment.
