Get Listed on Digital Matters
Put your company in front of the practitioners, operators, and decision-makers who read Digital Matters every week. The directory is the evergreen counterpart to advertising: a campaign runs and ends, but a listing keeps working, earning category visibility and referral traffic from a qualified tech-buyer audience, year after year.
Why get listed
68,000+ monthly readers who actively research tools, from MCP servers and RAG stacks to CDNs and security platforms. They arrive ready to evaluate, not just browse.
Your listing sits inside the vertical your buyers already read, alongside our explainers on agents, infrastructure, and SEO, so you reach them in the right moment.
Unlike a banner flight that expires, a listing renews annually and compounds. It keeps driving qualified referral clicks long after a campaign would have ended.
Choose Your Tier
Prices are annual. Every listing is reviewed before it goes live, so we keep the directory
useful by listing real, relevant companies. Listing links are rel="sponsored":
the value is referral traffic and visibility, not search ranking.

How It Works
Pick a tier and submit your company details: name, category, logo, and the link you want listed. It takes about five minutes.
Our editors check that your company is real and a fit for the category. We may suggest a clearer description or a better-fitting vertical. Most reviews finish within two business days.
Approved listings publish to the directory and your category page. Paid tiers can edit their profile any time, and we send a renewal reminder before the year is up.
Listing FAQ
Does a listing help my SEO?
No, and we are upfront about it. Every outbound link in the directory carries
rel="sponsored", which tells search engines not to pass ranking signal.
That is deliberate and correct: it keeps the directory trustworthy and keeps your
backlink profile clean.
The real value is referral traffic and visibility: qualified readers clicking through to your site from a category they already trust. Think of a listing as audience access, not link juice.
What is the difference between Get Listed and Advertise?
Advertising is a time-boxed campaign: an IAB display flight or a sponsored post that runs for a set period and then ends. A listing is evergreen: it stays in the directory for the full year and renews. Many companies do both, a campaign for a launch, a listing for steady, always-on presence. See the Advertise page for campaign options.
How does the editorial review work?
We confirm your company is real, operating, and a genuine fit for the category you picked. We are not a pay-to-publish farm, so we may decline listings that are off-topic or misleading. Review is independent of payment: paying for Featured does not skip the check.
What does the Featured editorial mention include?
One contextual mention in a relevant article over the listing year, for example, a vendor named in a roundup or an explainer where it genuinely belongs. It is always clearly disclosed and never displaces our editorial judgment. We will not write a fake review or place a mention where it does not fit.
Can I upgrade, change category, or cancel?
Yes. You can upgrade from Free to Standard or Featured at any time and we prorate the difference. You can request a category change during your term, and you can choose not to renew at the end of the year with no further charge.
How do you measure the value of a listing?
Standard and Featured listings get a simple monthly summary of profile views and outbound clicks, so you can see the referral traffic your listing drove. There is no inflated "impressions" number, just the clicks that reached your site.
