G2: how to submit, cost, DR and traffic
G2 is a software review and B2B marketplace with about 2.2M visits a month and a Domain Rating of 91. Free. The product link is nofollow.
Our take
The main review site for B2B software buyers. Worth it if you can collect real reviews; not for consumer products.
What G2 is
G2 is the largest B2B software review site. Buyers compare products in categories and read verified reviews before shortlisting, which makes it a sales channel more than an SEO one.
Checked on G2's own pages in October 2026.

What a listing on G2 gets you
Listing is free, but only for B2B software: G2 doesn't accept consumer products or anything still in alpha or beta. Submit the Product Submission Form, G2's research team checks eligibility and assigns a category, then you claim the profile (about 1 to 3 business days).
How to submit to G2
- Search G2 for your product first. If it's already listed, claim or update that listing instead of submitting again.
- Open the submit page: www.g2.com/products/new.
- Fill in the form: product name, website, a short description written for this audience, category, logo and a screenshot or two.
- Submissions are reviewed before they go live. Save the listing URL once it's public.

Submit to G2 with your AI agent
AgentLaunch is a launch kit you open in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Your agent submits your product to 300+ hand-checked directories, G2 included, from your own browser, and tracks every listing. On G2 specifically:
- It already knows G2's submit flow from the path we recorded (g2.com/products/new).
- It writes the listing copy for G2's audience (software review and B2B marketplace) instead of pasting the same description everywhere.
- When G2 publishes the listing, it saves the URL and checks the nofollow link in your launch tracker.
