What you actually get
A card for small indie products in a launch feed that runs at 08:00 UTC, reviewed and listed within up to 30 days on the free lane. Read the feed before you spend the badge: on the day this was written it showed no projects at all for either today or yesterday, which is a quieter room than the sibling sites on the same codebase. The link follows once their verifier has found your badge; listings without one carry rel="nofollow". The same operator runs several near-identical sites with the same copy and sells a package of links across them, so treat the neighbourhood as one network rather than as separate audiences.

How to submit to Smol Find

  1. Sign in
    Google, GitHub or email and password. Google creates the account on the first click. Set your display name before you go further: it arrives as whatever the Google account is called and it is printed as the maker.
  2. Project Info
    Name, website URL, an optional affiliate URL, a short description in a rich text box, a square logo and a landscape product image. There is an AI Autofill button beside the URL that rewrites fields from your page.
  3. Details
    Up to three categories from a searchable list of several hundred, up to five tech stack tags, the platforms you run on, a pricing model, and optional GitHub and X links.
  4. Launch type and badge
    The free lane is selected by default. Copy the badge snippet, put it live, then press Verify Backlink. The Next button stays disabled until that passes.
  5. Review
    The last screen before the launch date is confirmed.

Gotchas

The badge is not a last step here, it is a gate in the middle: the launch step refuses to advance until their verifier has found it, so you deploy to your own site before you can even choose a date.
The dofollow is the badge's reward rather than the listing's default, so a listing that goes up without one is carrying rel="nofollow" like the rest of the feed.
Several sites on this codebase share the same copy, the same form and the same badge trade, so filling this one teaches you the others and submitting to all of them is not five audiences.
The free lane buys you a place in the queue, not a day: there is no date picker on it at all, so the review step reads "No date selected" and the site assigns the day itself. Scheduling is what the paid cards sell. That line is not an error and nothing on the free lane will clear it.
