- It writes the listing copy for Startups.fm's audience (launch platform and maker community) instead of pasting the same description everywhere.
- Startups.fm is paid, so the agent stops at the payment page and leaves the decision to you.
- When Startups.fm publishes the listing, it saves the URL and checks the dofollow link in your launch tracker.
