Paid only directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

Requirements

Product must be a marketing or business-productivity tool aimed at small businesses (directories: Advertising, Branding & Graphics, Direct Marketing, Marketing Plans, PR, Social Media, Websites, Small Business Resources)
Editorial approval required — 'Advertiser will be notified of any necessary edits before insertion'
Payment by credit card at submission; Enhanced tier adds logo upload, monthly e-newsletter mention, and a bonus listing on sister site MarineMarketingTools.com
The site's stated theme is free or low-cost tools — expensive enterprise products likely won't fit editorially

Choose the category directory that fits (e.g., Social Media tools)
Decide Basic vs Enhanced listing
Submit listing information on the tools-directory-listings page — payment is requested by credit card on submission
Respond to any editorial edits they send back
Listing goes live in the category page; Enhanced gets a newsletter mention the following month

All listing types appear to cost money ('low annual rates', credit card on submit) — no free tier was found
Rank order favors Enhanced listings, then seniority — a Basic listing sits at the bottom
Site is dated (launched 2011); verify it's still maintained before paying
Site blocks bots (403) — complete the process in a normal browser

The tool appears on its category directory page (e.g., /marketing-tools-directory/<category>-tools/) on sbmarketingtools.com
