Let a bot list your product or business on free directory websites, five a day, and track which ones go live

Being listed on directory websites (sites that list new apps, tools or local businesses) helps people and AI search find you, but signing up to each one is dull. A Grok Bot works through a list of free directories every weekday: it checks you aren't listed already, fills in the forms with your ready-made product details, skips anything paid or that needs your phone, logs each one in a sheet and checks weekly which listings went live.

๐Ÿ’ธ What will this really cost me?

Prices checked 26 Oct 2026
๐Ÿงช To try it once
Free trial credit for new Grok Bot accounts (it runs out by how much work the bot does, within 7 days). After that you need The X Subscription Premium at USDย 30 a month.
๐Ÿ” To keep it running
Included in Premium: USDย 30 a month, or USDย 25 a month paid yearly. Super (USDย 100) and Ultra (USDย 200) give bigger weekly allowances.
โš ๏ธ Watch out for
Some directories charge for faster or 'featured' listings, so tell the bot to skip anything paid. Each form the bot fills uses allowance, so 5 a day costs far less than 50. Bots share one weekly allowance; past it, extra work is paid from prepaid credit, so set a monthly limit. The Plus plan (USDย 8) doesn't include Grok Bot.

๐Ÿ”— Official pricing: The X Subscription pricing ยท Grok Bot plans & usage

Prices change often, so check the links before you pay. Amounts exclude tax. Prices are shown in each provider's own currency.

๐Ÿงพ Which plan do I need?

๐Ÿช™ Small upgrade ยท MYR 122/mo

Grok Bot runs in The X Subscription Premium (the trial credit lasts up to 7 days).

Tick what you already pay for:

๐Ÿช™ Small = up to MYR 250 a month more ยท ๐Ÿ’Ž Big = over MYR 250 a month more ยท prices from each provider's pricing page, checked 21 Oct 2026.
โ„น๏ธ How we work this outPrices come from each provider's own pricing page (checked 21 Oct 2026; amounts exclude tax). Small upgrade = up to MYR 250 a month more than you pay now. Big upgrade = more than MYR 250 a month more. Check pricing = the provider doesn't publish a price we could confirm. The badges are worked out in MYR at USD 1 = MYR 4.08 (Bank Negara Malaysia, 19 Oct 2026). Each guide's needs come from its own "What will this really cost me?" box.

What you'll see: A ready product kit (tagline, two descriptions, categories, tags), a tracked link and a tracking table, from a made-up example.

๐Ÿงช Dry run. The real thing needs your apps connected, so this tries only the AI's part on a sample you paste in. Nothing is connected, sent or booked.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Your 10-minute test
I want to list my product on directory websites. Here are my rough details:
Name: Kopi Planner
Website: https://kopiplanner.example
What it does: a free app that plans a week of packed lunches for busy parents and makes the shopping list.
Who it's for: working parents.

1. Write a tagline under 60 characters, a short description under 160 characters and a long description of about 120 words. Plain and factual, no hype.
2. Suggest 5 categories and 10 tags.
3. Write the website link with UTM tags for a directory called ToolNest (utm_source=toolnest, utm_medium=directory).
4. Give me a 6-column tracking table I can paste into a sheet: date, directory, status, listing link, visitors, notes.

โœ… 0 of 8 steps done ๐Ÿ“„ Printable page
  1. 1
    โ˜

    Get Grok Bot

    Install Grok Bot (buttons below) and sign in. In Settings, look for Usage & Billing and set a monthly spending limit.

  2. 2
    โ˜

    Make a bot just for listings

    Create a new bot and call it Listings. Keep it separate from bots that handle your email or money.

  3. 3
    โ˜

    Build your product kit

    Paste the 'Product kit' prompt with your details. The bot writes descriptions in three lengths, picks categories and tags, and saves them with your logo and screenshots in one folder, so every form gets the same facts.

  4. 4
    โ˜

    Add tracking to your link

    Ask the bot to add tracking tags to your website link (UTM tags: a label on the link like ?utm_source=directory-name) so your website statistics show which directory sent each visitor.

  5. 5
    โ˜

    Build the queue

    Give it your directory list (or ask it to find relevant free ones). It removes duplicates, drops paid ones and sorts the rest by how relevant and well known they are, in your tracking sheet.

  6. 6
    โ˜

    Set the weekday routine

    Use the 'Daily submissions' prompt. Each weekday it does the next 5: checks you're not already listed, signs up with its own email, fills the form and logs the result. Anything paid, needing your phone number, or a Google-only login is skipped and flagged for you.

  7. 7
    โ˜

    Read the daily report

    You get one short report a day: done, skipped and why, and anything waiting for you (for example a site asking for a payment or ID).

  8. 8
    โ˜

    Optional: Monday live check

    Every Monday the bot opens each submitted listing to see if it's published, and notes which ones sent visitors from your tracking tags.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Copy-paste prompts

Tap Copy prompt, paste it into your AI (Grok, ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini), then replace the [yellow bits] with your own details.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Product kit
Make a product kit for directory submissions and save it as kit.md with my files in one folder.
Product or business: [name]
Website: [URL]
What it does, in my words: [2-3 sentences]
Who it's for: [audience]
Write: a tagline (under 60 characters), a short description (under 160 characters), a long description (about 120 words), 5 categories, 10 tags and 5 FAQ answers. Plain, factual, no hype, no claims I haven't given you. Add my website link with UTM tags: utm_source=<directory name>, utm_medium=directory.
๐Ÿ’ฌ Daily submissions
Every weekday at [time and time zone], take the next 5 directories from the queue in my tracking sheet and for each one:
1. Check whether we are already listed. If yes, mark it 'already listed'.
2. If submission is free, sign up with your own email, fill the form ONLY with facts from kit.md, use the tracked link, and submit.
3. Skip and flag anything that asks for payment, my phone number, my ID, a Google-only login or a paid 'fast track'.
4. Log: date, directory, status (submitted / skipped / already listed), listing link, notes.
Then send me one short report. Never pay, never invent reviews or ratings, and never post anywhere except the submission form.

โš ๏ธ Tips & common mistakes

๐ŸŒŸ Why it's worth it

๐Ÿ’ก Why it mattersEach directory takes 10-20 minutes by hand (account, email check, the same details pasted again). Handing the repetitive part to a bot gets you onto many more sites, and tracking tags show which listings actually bring visitors, so you stop wasting time on the ones that don't.
๐Ÿท๏ธ Real examplesitinDev (@sitin_dev on X), who runs dozens of Grok Bots for his projects, posted on 25 Oct 2026 that Grok Bot submitted his product to 21 directory sites in three days (7, 5 and 9 a day) with no submission fees, apart from his Grok subscription. He sets the rules, approves anything involving money or identity, and the bot sends a daily report and checks every Monday whether listings are live. He notes 'submitted doesn't mean published', so follow-up matters.
