Optimized Listing Copy

Write copy that works for humans AND AI

Your listing is parsed by AI assistants through our MCP Server. Poor copy = invisible to AI agents. Every field matters.

Tagline (max 80 chars)

Benefit-driven, specific. Avoid buzzwords like "revolutionary" or "AI-powered". Tell me what it does and for whom.

✅ "Convert any PDF to editable Word doc in 30 seconds" — not ❌ "Revolutionary AI document solution"

Short Description (max 160 chars)

This is your meta description. Include your primary keyword naturally. It appears in search results and AI summaries.

Format: [Primary keyword] that helps [audience] [specific outcome] without [pain point].

Full Description (200–400 words)

Front-load the problem. Use clear paragraphs. Mention platforms, use cases, audiences explicitly — this feeds structured data that AI agents query.

Para 1: Problem → Para 2: Solution → Para 3: Who + How → Para 4: CTA

Categories (2–3)

Pick the most specific category. "AI Tools" is too broad. "DevTools" or "Writing" converts better.

DevTools · Productivity · Writing

Use Case Tags (5–8)

These power the untoldai_discover MCP tool. Be specific: "cold email automation" beats "email".

"cold email automation", "sales outreach", "email personalization at scale"

AEO: AI Discovery Strategy

8 MCP tools can recommend your product to AI users

UntoldAi has an MCP Server that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Perplexity recommend your product. Here's how to get in front of them.

untoldai_find_alternative

Triggered when someone asks "Find me an alternative to [competitor]". Fill "alternatives" tags and list real competitors in your submission.

Ask: "What's an alternative to Notion for developers?" → Your DevTools with correct competitor tags surface

untoldai_discover + untoldai_find_product

Triggered by feature/category searches. Your description's keyword coverage determines relevance scoring.

Ask: "What's the best free SEO tool for solo founders?" → Tools with "free", "SEO", "founders" in structured fields win

untoldai_trending + untoldai_new_launches

Triggered when users ask "What's trending in AI?" — earn these by getting early upvotes in your first 48h.

🎯 Target: 20+ upvotes in your first 24 hours to enter the trending window

untoldai_compare

AI will fetch your listing when comparing products. Your tagline and description become the "pitch" in a 2-column comparison.

Write your tagline as if it's the first sentence in a "why us" argument

Task 3

Community Engagement Plan

Day-by-day first 7 days strategy

UntoldAi ranks products by signals — upvotes, comments, followers, views. Engagement compounds. Here's the exact playbook.

Day 1: Launch Day

Post launch → immediately upvote + leave 3 thoughtful comments on other products. Spend 20 min in community.

Quality comment: "Used this — the [specific feature] solved [specific problem]. Would love to see [specific suggestion] next."

Days 2–3: Momentum

Upvote 5–10 products daily. Comment on 3. Reply to every comment on your own listing within 2 hours.

Fastest way to earn points: Start discussions on others' listings. Founders always upvote back.

Days 4–5: Build in Public

Post your first "Build in Public" update. Share a metric, a bug you fixed, or user feedback. Authenticity wins.

"Day 3 on UntoldAi: 47 upvotes, 3 sign-ups directly from the listing. Here's what I learned..."

Days 6–7: Amplification

Share your listing link on Twitter, LinkedIn, Indie Hackers, your newsletter. Direct traffic to your listing URL — not just untoldai.net.

Task 4

Launch Timing & Plan

When to launch and which plan to choose

Timing and budget allocation have a disproportionate impact on your Product of the Day chances.

Best Launch Time

Tuesday–Thursday, 8–10am UTC. Avoid Mondays (low traffic) and Fridays (community offline by afternoon).

⏰ Optimal window: Tuesday 9am UTC = best mix of US East Coast + Europe prime time

Free Plan

Best if: you have an existing audience to drive upvotes, or you're testing product-market fit. You'll compete on merit.

Required: At least 15–20 people you can personally ask to upvote on launch day

$35 Launch Now (Instant Approval)

Best for: most bootstrapped founders. Skips the review queue and guarantees your slot. Worth it for any launch with >100 followers.

ROI: If even 1 paying customer comes from UntoldAi, it pays for itself

$89 / $189 Featured

Best for: funded startups, products with broad appeal, or when launching a major v2. Featured placement drives 3–5x more views.

Recommended if your LTV > $200/customer and you want sustainable discovery volume

Cross-Platform Amplification

Ready-to-post templates for launch day

Your external traffic drives UntoldAi ranking. Here are copy-paste templates optimized for each platform.

Twitter/X Post

Keep it punchy. Lead with the outcome. Add the UntoldAi link + ask for upvote explicitly.

🚀 Just launched [Product] on @UntoldAi! [One-sentence benefit]. [Social proof or metric if you have it] Support appreciated 🙏 → [your UntoldAi URL] #buildinpublic #indiehacker

LinkedIn Post

Story-driven. Start with a problem or insight. LinkedIn rewards 3–5 paragraph posts with 1 link.

6 months ago I had [the problem]. Today I launched [Product] on UntoldAi. [2-3 sentences on the journey] If you've ever struggled with [pain], this one's for you. ➡️ [UntoldAi URL]

Community / Newsletter Message

Direct and personal. Don't make this transactional — explain why you're asking and make the upvote CTA very clear.

"Hey [name], I just launched on UntoldAi. Takes 30 seconds, just click here and hit the upvote button: [URL]. Genuinely means a lot 🙏"

Competitor Positioning Map

How to win comparison searches

"Alternative to X" pages are the highest-intent surfaces on UntoldAi. AI agents use your description when answering comparison queries.

/alternatives pages strategy

Mention competitors by name in your full description as part of your positioning. This links you to alternative pages algorithmically.

"Built for founders who find [Competitor] too complex and [Competitor 2] too expensive."

Comparison copy for AI agents

Write one paragraph per competitor in your description. The untoldai_compare MCP tool extracts this automatically.

"vs [Competitor]: Unlike [Competitor] which requires [limitation], [Your product] gives you [key differentiator] out of the box."

Differentiation angles that work

AI agents rank answers on specificity. "Easier" and "cheaper" lose to specific claims.

✅ "50% lower price than Competitor X with full API access" — not ❌ "More affordable alternative"
