Marketing By Ali · Tool listings
Submit Your Tool for Review
Get your marketing tool, plugin, or SaaS in front of an audience actively looking for solutions. Marketing By Ali is a curated directory maintained by a developer with 22+ years of experience—every tool listed goes through hands-on evaluation, not auto-aggregation.
Built for tools that actually help
If your product genuinely helps marketers, agencies, or small businesses, this is where it belongs. Readers come to our Marketing Tools Directory to compare CRM, lead gen, WordPress plugins, email platforms, and more—then pick a winner they can trust.
Why list your tool here
This is not a link farm or a paid-only directory. Each category page is built around real research, real comparisons, and tools we would actually recommend. That is why listings here carry weight—with readers and with search engines.
When you submit your tool, you choose how visible you want to be. Every paid placement includes a dofollow link to your site (no nofollow), giving you SEO value alongside referral traffic.
Placement options
Pick the visibility that matches your launch stage, category competition, and budget.

What we won't list

- MLM or pyramid-style products
Curation is what makes this directory worth reading. We would rather turn down a paid listing than lose reader trust.
