What you actually get
A product page carrying an unqualified dofollow link straight to your domain, reviewed inside 48 hours. Read the newest listings before you decide it is worth a footer badge: slot and sportsbook pages, pirate football streams and crypto rebate schemes make up much of the recent intake, so this is a link from a neighbourhood, not a curated placement.
How to submit to Wayfindio
1
Sign in with Google first
The form renders while signed out and then bounces to /login the moment you touch it. Google is the only sign-in method offered.
2
Fill step 1, Tool Information
URL, name, a 160-character tagline, a 500 to 3,000 character markdown description, logo, up to four screenshots, up to three categories, pricing model and platforms.
3
Skip the AI auto-fill unless you check it
A button beside the URL field scrapes your site and writes the whole form. Anything it writes is your listing, so diff it against your own copy.
4
Choose a lane on step 2
Three paid cards sit above a Free Listing panel: $9 lifetime, $5 monthly, $29 featured. All three drop the badge requirement.
5
Place the badge, then Verify and Submit
Copy the dark, light or transparent embed into your footer and only then press Verify and Submit. On success it drops you at /dashboard/profile with the listing showing Pending Review.

Gotchas
The badge check is the very last action in the flow. You fill two steps, upload a logo and up to four screenshots, pick a badge, and only then does Verify and Submit crawl your site and answer "A dofollow backlink to our site was not found on your website."
The submit form renders and accepts typing while you are signed out, then redirects to /login part way through and loses what you entered. Sign in before you fill anything.
The first click on Continue with Google does nothing except raise a red NEXT_REDIRECT toast; the second click reaches Google. Neither the error nor the retry is explained anywhere.
