How to get your Astro site listed (and featured) on Astro Showcase

Shipped something with Astro? Here’s exactly how to get it in front of the community — and what each option costs (spoiler: listing is free).

Step 1 — Submit your site (free)

Create an account and go to Submit your site. You’ll need:

• The URL — it must be live and actually built with Astro.
• A title and description — write the description for a human deciding whether to click. What is the site, and what makes it a good example of Astro?
• A category — SaaS, e-commerce, portfolio, docs, blog, agency, landing page, or community.
• Your tech stack — the CMS, hosting, and UI framework tags help people discover your site when they filter by stack.

Every submission is reviewed by a human. Free reviews take a few days. When approved, we automatically capture desktop and mobile screenshots, and your listing goes live with its own page, shareable social card, and a place in the category and tag indexes.

Step 2 — Fast-track the review (optional, $19)

If you’d rather not wait, fast-track your submission from your dashboard:

• Same-day review — your site jumps to the top of the queue.
• Verified badge — the ✓ badge on your listing and cards.
• Dofollow link — your outbound link passes SEO authority (free listings are nofollow).

If a fast-tracked submission doesn’t meet the guidelines, the fee is refunded.

Step 3 — Book a featured slot (from $19/week)

Once your listing is approved, you can put it in a featured slot:

• Homepage featured ($49/week) — one of only six highlighted cards at the top of the homepage.
• Category featured ($19/week) — one of three slots at the top of your category page, seen by people specifically browsing for your kind of site.

Slots are booked by the calendar week (Monday to Monday, UTC), up to four weeks at a time, from the featured slots calendar. Inventory is deliberately limited — when a week is taken, it’s taken.

What gets approved

We’re not gatekeeping on design awards — we’re checking that:

1. The site is live and built with Astro (we check).
2. It’s finished work — not a template demo or placeholder.
3. It’s safe to send visitors to — no malware, scams, or deceptive content.

That’s it. Personal blogs are as welcome as venture-backed SaaS.

Why bother?

Directory listings still work, especially niche ones: a relevant backlink, referral traffic from people actively looking for Astro work, and social proof you can link from your own site. The earlier you’re listed, the longer you accumulate votes and views.
