Capterra's team manually reviews submissions. This takes 1-3 weeks. They verify that your product is legitimate, your website works, and your listing is accurate. If rejected, they usually provide feedback on what to fix.
Once live, focus on collecting reviews. Capterra provides review collection tools and even offers incentives like gift cards for reviewers (managed by Capterra, not you — this keeps reviews unbiased). Products with 25+ reviews get a "verified" badge and significantly more visibility.
