What you actually get
A product page on a small launchpad built around build, release and optimise, which also keeps a directory of other directories. The link does follow, though not on purpose in any standard sense: outbound listings are written with rel="dofollow", which is not a real rel value and is ignored, and because nothing suppresses the link it passes authority anyway. Every listing carries a ref parameter back to the site.

How to submit to BRO Directory

  1. Sign in
    /products/submit redirects to a sign-in offering Continue with Google or a magic link by email.
  2. Submit the product
    The submit control is in the main navigation once you have a session.
  3. Wait
    No review time is published.

Gotchas

The listing links are written with rel="dofollow", which is not a value any search engine recognises, so the follow you get is an accident of nothing else being set rather than a promise you can rely on.
The submit path redirects to sign-in rather than rendering the form, so the form cannot be inspected before making an account.
No review time is published anywhere, and the site is small enough that there is no queue to observe.

Let your agent submit to BRO Directory

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the BRO Directory playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.

What it does for this platform
Checks your product against the 3 BRO Directory rules above, so you find out you would be rejected before you open a tab.
Hands your agent all 2 fields this form asks for, none of them optional, already filled from your pack.
Types it into BRO Directory in your own browser, and stops for you when the form wants a sign-in.
Records what it sent, so the dashboard can answer "did I ever submit to BRO Directory?".
