What you actually get
A human-reviewed profile with two plain dofollow links to your site, on a directory of about 68 listings rated DR 1. The link is real and the authority behind it is not, which their own About page says before you do: use it for a maintained profile, not as an SEO channel.
How to submit to List Maro
1
Fill five fields
Website, name, a tagline capped at 60 characters, one category and a pricing model. No account, and a live preview of the card and the product page updates as you type.
2
Publish for review, which asks for an email
The button does not submit. It reveals a single email box under the form, headed where should we send your listing, with no password anywhere in the flow.
3
Send my link
This is the click that posts. The page then shows a Submitted, In review, Published, Indexed progress strip and confirms the address it emailed.
4
Open the emailed link
Everything else lives behind it: the longer description, screenshots, the verified tick (one paste) and the badge. None of it can be done from the submission form.
5
Wait for a person
Nothing publishes automatically and no turnaround is quoted. Paying does not shorten the queue, which their disclosure states outright.

Gotchas
Publish for review does not submit anything. It opens an email box, and the second click on Send my link is what creates the listing.
Their own wording is that the link back from your site is what keeps the listing free and dofollow, but the badge terms only appear behind the emailed sign-in link, so you commit before you can read them.
Paying makes your link worse rather than better: sponsored slots carry rel="sponsored" and the disclosure says their database is constrained so a paid plan cannot carry a dofollow link.
The pricing control arrives with Freemium already selected, so a free or paid product publishes as freemium unless you change it.
