What's new at MarketingDB

Every update, feature, and milestone — from day one.

May 22, 2026Improvement

Listing pages: built-in FAQ + markdown support

Every project page now auto-generates a Frequently Asked section from the listing's own fields (what is it, who is it for, pricing, tech stack, category). Descriptions render markdown — bold, lists, links, and code blocks all display cleanly instead of showing raw asterisks.

May 22, 2026Improvement

Redesigned submission flow

New /submit page with a sticky top bar, sidebar navigation across all sections, smooth scroll, and live red/green dots showing which fields are still needed. Tech-stack picker is now a single compact row per tool. Badge embed code lives as a one-tap copy button on the preview itself.

May 22, 2026Change

SEO compliance update

Reviewed every outbound link rel attribute to align with Google's link-spam policy: paid and badge-verified placements carry rel="sponsored", default user-submitted listings carry rel="ugc nofollow", and admin-revoked listings carry rel="nofollow". Public copy and llms.txt updated to match.

May 22, 2026Improvement

Quieter, cleaner UI everywhere

Slimmer site header with fewer competing borders and chips. Submit page header hidden during the listing flow to reduce distraction. Featured-on badges removed for faster page loads and a more focused browsing experience.

Apr 2026New

Done-for-You Directory Submissions

Launched a fully managed submission service. We handle every listing across 30–100+ directories, earn quality backlinks, and send a full report — so you stay focused on building.

Mar 2026Improvement

Blog with SEO guides

Published in-depth guides on SaaS directories, backlink strategies, and product launch playbooks to help builders grow through search.

May 2026Change

Directory-first experience

We retired the social community feed so MarketingDB stays focused on curated listings, SEO article pages, and your workspace — without the noise of a separate feed.

Feb 2026New

Premium Launch — featured after checkout

Pay $11 to skip the badge: when payment succeeds, your listing is approved and marked Featured on the home feed.

Jan 2026Improvement

Category pages & search

Organised all listings into categories. Each category page is SEO-optimised so products get discovered through relevant queries.
