What exactly happens when Actuant “launches” my app?

An agent works through the launch checklist you'd otherwise do by hand: it writes your llms.txt, robots.txt and sitemap as a GitHub pull request, submits your app to 20 curated launch directories — filling each form live in a browser you can watch, and leaving the submit button to you. Anything that touches your code arrives as a pull request; nothing merges without your approval. Launch-copy drafting, analytics installed for you, and Stripe payments set up inside your app are on the roadmap, not shipped.

Does it work with my builder?

Yes. Actuant doesn't integrate with builders — it works on the app itself: the live URL, the GitHub repo, and your domain. If your app has a URL, Actuant can audit it; if it has a repo, Actuant can fix it. Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Base44, Cursor, Claude Code, or hand-written all work the same way.

I've shipped five apps. Do I need five subscriptions?

No. One account covers your whole portfolio: the free plan covers 1 app, Launch covers 3, Portfolio is unlimited. Re-auditing an app you've already added is unlimited on every plan. The Signal dashboard that compares those apps side by side is still being built — today you get each app's audits, fixes and launch work in one place.

Will you spam directories with my half-finished app?

No. The audit runs first, and the agent only submits when your app clears the quality bar — that protects your launch and everyone else's. We maintain a curated list of directories that send real traffic, not a firehose of 400 link farms, and the agent never presses submit for you: it fills the form and hands the browser back.

What does the free plan actually include?

One app, unlimited re-audits of it, the full launch-readiness score and report with per-check fix guidance, and access to the MCP server for your coding agent. Agent runs are metered, and the free plan's usage is a one-time $5 of credit — roughly 16 deep audits — not a monthly allowance. Paid plans add a weekly usage allowance, monthly credit, and the agent doing the fixing and launching rather than just the diagnosing.

Can I share a report with someone else?

Not yet. Reports live in your dashboard behind your login today; public, shareable report links are on the roadmap. Anything on this site marked “coming soon” isn't built — we'd rather you buy the plan for what it does now.

The launch-readiness audit

Open Graph tags: how your link looks when shared

When someone shares your link, the Open Graph card is the first impression. A bare URL gets scrolled past. Learn which og: tags Actuant checks and how to add a share card.

Last updated 2026-07-19

This weight-6 check looks for Open Graph tags — the metadata that turns a shared link into a rich card with a title, description, and image instead of a bare URL.

What Actuant checks

og:image present.
og:title present.
Both → pass. One → partial ("links share half-broken"). Neither → fail ("shared links look like bare URLs").

Two more checks in the same category grade the finish: Open Graph completeness (weight 3) looks for the full set including og:description, og:url, and og:type, and Twitter card (weight 2) looks for twitter:card.

Why it matters

Launch traffic comes from links — in tweets, DMs, Slack, Discord, Product Hunt. The OG card is your first impression in every one of those feeds. A missing image is the difference between a link people click and a grey rectangle they scroll past.

How to fix it

1
Add og:title and og:description
Usually the same as your page title and meta description.
2
Add a 1200×630 og:image
One good screenshot with your tagline beats a designed banner. Next.js can generate one dynamically with the OG image API.
3
Test it
Paste your URL into a social debugger, or just DM it to yourself.

add to <head>html

<meta property="og:title" content="Weekly meal plans from your pantry" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Tell it what's in your fridge; get a 7-day plan." />
<meta property="og:image" content="https://yourapp.com/og.png" />
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />

Title & description

A missing <title> or meta description means Google writes your search result for you — badly. Learn what Actuant checks, how long each should be, and how to set them in any builder.

Social presence

Visitors look for a social link to judge if you're real; no profiles linked reads as abandoned. Learn which networks Actuant detects and why linking two beats linking one.
