Founder.best Client Launch Submission and Backlink Verification (Delivery)

1. 01

   Collect the client intake fields before touching the submission form

   Founder.best requires product name, live website URL, tagline, and category at submission. Pull all four from the client in one pass so the listing is not submitted half-built and then edited mid-week while the leaderboard is ranking.

2. 02

   Choose Standard Launch or Launch Pro against the client's timing

   Standard Launch is $2.99 one-time and holds the homepage slot for 2 weeks. Launch Pro is $9 one-time, holds the homepage for 1 month, skips the queue so the client can launch today or on a chosen date, and adds 10 starter upvotes plus a premium badge. If the client has a press or campaign date, the queue-skip alone justifies the $9.

3. 03

   Submit to the weekly ranked leaderboard using the client's live URL

   The submission lands on the weekly leaderboard where community upvotes drive homepage position. Confirm the URL resolves before submitting; a dead link wastes the launch window and the permanent product page inherits the problem.

4. 04

   Verify the dofollow backlink is live on the permanent product page

   Every listing receives a permanent product page with a dofollow backlink. Inspect the rendered page for the link and confirm the rel attribute is dofollow, not nofollow, before you report the deliverable to the client.

5. 05

   Place the embeddable founder badge on the client's site

   The badge ships with the listing. Drop it into the client's footer or press page and check it renders on mobile, since the badge is the only client-facing surface that carries Founder.best branding and cannot be white-labeled.

6. 06

   Confirm AI-assistant indexing across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini

   Listings are indexed for AI assistants and queryable by AI agents through the public API and MCP. Run a query for the client's product name in at least two of the four assistants and record the result as evidence in the delivery report.

7. 07

   Log the launch outcome and set the retainer renewal prompt

   Capture final leaderboard position, upvote count, and backlink status in the client file. Founder.best is a one-time or monthly launch service, not a recurring retainer product, so schedule the next launch conversation against the client's product roadmap rather than a monthly cycle.
