UsefulShelfMore context. More ways to be found.
Make your app
easier to discover.
People ask AI tools for software recommendations. Give those tools another clear, public source about what your app does and who it helps.
Readable
A real page, ready to crawl
Your name, description, category and website link are in the page HTML. Crawlers can read the core content without running JavaScript.
Understandable
Tell the right story
Explain the problem your app solves and who it’s for. We present those details on your page and in structured app data.
Connected
Another route to your app
Public listings appear in category pages, our sitemap and directory search. Connected agents can find them with the MCP search tool.
Better access, not a promise of placement.
Being listed gives your app another opportunity to be found and understood. It does not guarantee that ChatGPT, Claude, Google or any other service will crawl, index, cite or recommend it. Each service makes its own decisions.
Google says the foundations of search optimization also apply to its AI features. OpenAI documents OAI-SearchBot as its search crawler. That’s why we focus on readable pages, accurate details and crawl access.

Give your listing useful context
- Say what your app does. “Invoice tracking for freelancers” tells readers more than “The future of work.”
- Name who it helps. Include the audience and the task they want to finish.
- Describe what makes it useful. Mention a few real features and avoid keyword stuffing.
- Keep your own site readable. Check your metadata, crawl access and page content with our free visibility check.
