SEO and GEO guides to software listings
These SEO and GEO guides show where to list software so it ranks in Google, gets cited in AI answers and can be found by AI agents. Each one is written from listings we made ourselves, with the files we submitted and the links we checked on the live pages.
The series
- 01MCP servers for SEO and GEOWhich MCP directories and server lists rank in Google, get cited in AI answers, reach agents and link back, starting with Claude and ChatGPT.
- 02SaaS listings for SEO and GEOWhich SaaS directories and app stores rank in Google, get cited by AI answers and link back, from listings we made and checked by hand.
Which series should I read?
Read the MCP series if your product has a remote MCP server, and the SaaS series if it's a website, a browser extension or a plugin. Both judge a listing the same way: does its page rank, do AI answers quote it, can people or agents reach you from it, and is the link to your site followed.
The MCP servers for SEO and GEO series opens with the Claude connector directory and the ChatGPT apps directory, because a listing there puts your tools inside the assistant's answer. It then covers the official MCP Registry, the marketplaces it feeds, and the metadata and tool descriptions every directory reads.
The SaaS listings for SEO and GEO series starts with how to tell a followed link from a nofollow one, then covers the Chrome Web Store and the app marketplaces inside VS Code, JetBrains and website builders.
How do we keep them accurate?
We open every listing we describe and read its links in the page itself, and each guide says when we last did. If you want to see how search engines, AI answers and agents read your own pages, run Agent Ready, the free checker we built to do that.
Questions
Questions buyers ask
Are these guides about backlinks?
Partly. A listing can give you a followed link, and it can also rank for your product's name, get quoted in AI answers and let agents find you. The guides weigh all four.
Do I need an MCP server?
No. The SaaS series covers websites, browser extensions and plugins with no MCP server at all.
How often do they change?
Whenever a directory changes its review process or its link markup. Every guide shows the date it last changed.
