FAQs
Founder-service questions, answered plainly
Is submitting a tool free?
Yes. Free Listing review is free. AIBeat may request a public badge or text link before approval to verify website control.
Does payment guarantee approval?
No. Paid requests still require AIBeat review for quality, relevance, accuracy, and safety.
How long does review take?
Free submissions are reviewed as capacity allows. Featured Placement has an expected 2-4 business day review window, and Spotlight Pro has an expected 1-3 business day review window.
What is the difference between Simple, Featured, and Spotlight Pro?
Simple is a standard paid listing, Featured adds priority review and seven days of relevant category-page placement, and Spotlight Pro adds deeper context plus a 14-day homepage or category Spotlight placement.
Is newsletter coverage guaranteed?
No. Spotlight Pro includes newsletter and editorial consideration without guaranteeing inclusion. Custom newsletter campaigns are scoped separately.
How are sponsored articles labeled?
Sponsored and partner articles are visibly labeled. Payment does not buy positive editorial opinion.
Can AIBeat write the article?
AIBeat can format and develop a sponsored or partner article when the topic is useful and claims are verifiable.
Can I update my listing later?
Yes. Free and paid listings can request updates, and AIBeat reviews changes for accuracy and fit.
Do you guarantee traffic, leads, or sales?
No. AIBeat does not guarantee traffic, rankings, leads, sales, clicks, opens, or revenue.
Can we create a custom campaign?
Yes. Growth Campaign and Partnership options are designed for custom coordination.
Can we exchange features through a partnership?
Yes, when there is real audience and editorial value. Affiliate and exchange relationships are disclosed.
