MAKER SERVICES
Launching on CLAPSTORM is free forever, and the board can’t be bought — claps, ranking, and placement are never for sale. So none of this is a way to climb the leaderboard. It’s how you make the launch you already earned keep paying you back: real backlinks to your own pages, third-party proof you can link, and the directory grind lifted off your plate. Every one upgrades your page or your reach — not one of them touches a single clap. It’s in writing: the fairness pledge.
SEO Booster
Turn your launch page into an SEO asset: up to 3 dofollow backlinks pointing at the pages you want ranking — plus custom "Visit site" text.
- Up to 3 dofollow deep links to your own pages — real backlinks that search engines count toward your ranking.
- You write the anchor text — the exact keywords Google reads, aimed at pricing, docs, or changelog.
- Server-rendered into the page and yours to re-point forever — link equity that keeps working long after launch week.
// dofollow · server-rendered · never nofollow — the link type that actually passes SEO equity.
Launch Report
Independent proof of how your launch landed — claps, rank, reviews, day-by-day — written by CLAPSTORM from the real ledger.
- Third-party proof, not a vanity screenshot — it's on the record because it isn't yours to edit.
- One permanent URL to drop in a pitch deck, investor update, or cold email.
- Bonus: a permanent, indexed page that links back to your homepage — a free dofollow backlink on top (the SEO Booster is how you aim links at specific pages).
// built from the same ledger the board runs on — not a number we made up.
Distribute
Done-for-you submission to 50+ curated startup directories — the backlinks and reach, without the afternoon of copy-paste.
- 50+ directory listings that link back to you — backlinks and referral traffic, done by hand.
- Curated, not carpet-bombed — directories worth being in, not link-farm junk that can quietly hurt your ranking.
- Honest per-directory status — submitted / pending / live / rejected. We never round "submitted" up to "live".
// "submitted" is not "live", and we say so — including where we couldn't get you in.

FAQ
Do paid services affect claps, ranking, or placement?
No — nothing you can buy affects the board. Claps can’t be bought, there are no promoted slots or featured tiers, and paid services never touch ranking, rounds, or winners. That promise is written down in the fairness pledge.
What exactly does the SEO Booster change?
Two things, both on your own launch page only: the "Visit site" button’s text becomes your own call to action, and up to three extra links to pages on your product’s own domain are rendered into the page HTML. You can edit both any time.
Can SEO Booster links point at any site?
No. Deep links must be on your product’s own domain (subdomains included) — we never sell links to third-party sites.
What is the Launch Report, and what do I do with it?
A permanent page CLAPSTORM writes about your launch — the kind of third-party write-up you can’t credibly publish about yourself. Link it from your site, pitch deck, or investor update as proof of how your launch landed. Every number is from the real clap ledger — final claps, rank, reviews, the day-by-day timeline — and nothing is invented.
When does my Launch Report arrive?
Reports are written from your round’s final numbers, so yours generates when your round ends (or right away if it already has). A launch queued for the next round gets its report after the round it competes in ends. You’ll get an email with the link the moment it’s live.
Are the free launch and the free dofollow link still free?
Yes, free forever. Every launch keeps its instant free listing and its permanent dofollow link to your site, whatever you do or don’t buy.
