Capterra (Gartner Digital Markets) puts your product in front of high-intent B2B buyers. organic presence exists but many categories require paid leads to compete.

G2 is a B2B review marketplace where buyer-intent profile pages rank for “[product] reviews”. reviews and completeness matter far more than submission alone.

AlternativeTo owns “alternative to [incumbent]” search intent. evergreen comparison traffic when you position clearly against tools buyers already know.

Hacker News Show HN delivers high-intent technical traffic in short bursts. the audience rewards demos, honesty, and substance over marketing copy.

There’s An AI For That is one of the most visited independent AI catalogs. category placement and sharp use-case copy determine whether you get browse traffic or disappear in the crowd.

AppSumo is a lifetime-deal marketplace. massive reach when your product fits deal-hunter audience and you can offer a compelling LTD or heavy discount.

TrustRadius targets enterprise software buyers with in-depth reviews. best for B2B SaaS with identifiable enterprise customers.
