- How do I list my community on Hive Index?
- Submit your community through the free listing form. You provide your community name, platform, topic categories, member count, and a short description. Listings are reviewed for relevance and typically appear on up to two matching topic pages within a few days.
- Is listing my community on Hive Index free?
- Yes. A basic listing on Hive Index is free forever. Free listings appear on up to two relevant topic pages and include your community name, platform, description, member count, and feature tags. Paid Featured ($99/month) and Gold ($390/year) options add more visibility and topic coverage.
- What are the requirements to get listed on Hive Index?
- Your community needs at least 10 active members, must not promote NSFW or violent content, should have basic community features like chat or a forum, and must relate to a topic category already covered on Hive Index. Communities that do not meet these guidelines may be declined or removed.
- What is the difference between free, Featured, and Gold listings?
- Free listings appear on up to two topic pages with standard placement. Featured ($99 one-time) puts your community at the top of one topic page for 30 days, on the homepage, and in similar-community recommendations, with a $1 CPC guarantee (99+ clicks). Gold Membership ($390/year) lists you on up to six topic pages with roughly 10x the traffic of free listings, social proof display, and more prominent placement across the site.
- How much traffic can I expect from a Hive Index listing?
- Traffic depends on listing type and topic. Free listings typically receive a handful of clicks per month. Featured listings average around 99+ referral clicks per month with the CPC guarantee. Gold listings receive roughly 10x the traffic of free listings. See the performance table on this page or visit the traffic stats page for current averages.
- Can I promote my community on multiple topic pages?
- Yes. You can buy Featured promotions on multiple topic pages by increasing the quantity at checkout on the promotion page. Gold Membership covers up to six topic pages in a single subscription. You can also combine Featured promotions with Gold Membership for maximum visibility.
- My community has not launched yet. Can I still submit it to Hive Index?
- Please wait until your community has at least 10 founding members before submitting. Hive Index lists active communities that prospective members can join today, not pre-launch waitlists.
- Can my community platform or tool sponsor Hive Index?
- Yes. Community platforms, tools, and agencies can sponsor Hive Index sitewide for $1,000/month. Sponsorship includes a banner on every page, homepage shoutout, and exit-screen placement.
