WIP: Submission Guide, Domain Rating & Alternatives
WIP (wip.co) is a community with a Domain Rating of 48, ranking 5 of 23 among founder communities and 58 of 505 overall. That sits well above the 30 median for this category.
Its outbound links are nofollow, so a listing will not pass authority to your domain. The value here is referral traffic and the brand mention, not SEO. Authority is moderate, so submit it as part of a batch rather than as a priority on its own.

How to submit to WIP
- Open wip.co and look for the submit, add product, or get listed link, usually in the header or footer.
- Have your assets ready before you start: a one-line pitch, a longer description, a logo, and two or three screenshots. Most rejections are for incomplete listings, not bad products.
- Write the description for this directory specifically. Pasting the same paragraph everywhere is the single clearest signal of a low-effort submission, both to moderators and to search engines.
- WIP uses nofollow links, so optimise for the click rather than the link: lead with the benefit, not the keyword.
- Record where and when you submitted. Approval on directories at this authority level can take days to weeks, and you will want to follow up.
