How it works

You do the first. We do the rest — and we tell you the truth about what happened.

01

Paste your URL

We read your site and build one profile: name, taglines at three lengths, descriptions, categories, logo, screenshots.

yourapp.com Start that's the whole form
02

We adapt it per form

Every directory asks differently. We map your profile onto each site's own fields and its own category list — not one blanket label.

profile tagline 60 max short description 100 max
03

We submit, paced

20–30 a day, spread like a person would. Anything needing a password, a payment or a captcha is flagged for you, not faked.

day 1 day 12 20–30 / day
04

We verify and report

At 7, 14 and 30 days we fetch each listing logged-out. If your product name renders to a stranger, it counts.

Every submission in your inbox

We create a dedicated inbox for your product and hand you the login. Every confirmation, approval and rejection lands there — and in your report.

What one submission actually looks like

We write your profile once. Each site gets the version that fits its fields, its length limits and its own category list — then we track it until it's public.

We count listings, not submissions

Every service in this category reports how many forms they filled. None report how many listings a stranger can actually find. Yours shows both — and the gap.

Submissions finish in week two. Listings and links keep arriving after — which is why we re-verify at 7, 14 and 30 days.

The jargon, in plain words

Every service in this space sells you on terms it never defines. Here's what they mean and, more usefully, what each one is worth.

Dofollow passes value vs Nofollow rel="nofollow"

A dofollow link passes authority from that page to yours — the kind that moves rankings over months. A nofollow link is tagged “don't count this as a vote”: it still sends real visitors and still gets your product seen, it just earns no SEO credit.

directory DR 80 your app dofollow directory DR 91 your app nofollow
In your report: 557 of 886 known destinations are dofollow. Nofollow ones are labelled, never counted as SEO value — Crunchbase and AlternativeTo are both nofollow, and both worth having.

Backlink

A link on someone else's site pointing at yours. Search engines read them as votes: the more credible sites point at you, the more credible you look.

directoryreview site marketplace your app 3 backlinks 3 referring domains
In your report: every live listing is one backlink, with its URL.

DR Domain Rating

Ahrefs' 0–100 score for how strong a site's own backlink profile is. Logarithmic, so the scale is deceptive. Google doesn't use it — it's a vendor metric that correlates with authority, nothing more. Moz calls its version DA.

040 70100 weeks of work months years
In your report: shown per destination so you can see what you're getting — not averaged into a single flattering number.

Link equity “link juice”

The authority a page passes, split across every link on it. Which is why a mid-DR page with few outbound links beats a high-DR page linking to everything.

45 DR 20 outbound each link carries weight 80 DR 50,000 outbound each link carries ~nothing
In your report: why we cut 139 high-DR link farms instead of padding the count with them.

Referring domain

One website linking to you, however many pages it links from. Ten links from one directory count as one — breadth beats repetition.

one directory 10 links 1 referring that's what counts
In your report: one row per destination, never double-counted.

Indexed

Google has crawled the page and put it in results. A listing that exists but isn't indexed passes nothing.

acme deployment tool Acme — SaaSHub saashub.com/acme · deployment for side projects Acme — Directory X page exists · not indexed yet · passes nothing
In your report: we verify public reachability; indexing follows Google's schedule, typically 1–8 weeks.

Anchor text

The clickable words of the link. “Acme” tells search engines something different from “click here”. Directories use your product name, which is exactly right.

Deploy faster with Acme , a tool for shipping side projects. To try this tool, click here . tells search engines nothing
In your report: whatever the directory renders — we don't stuff keywords, which is what gets listings removed.

Honest framing: directory backlinks build a baseline. They help a new domain get crawled, indexed and trusted enough to compete. They do not, on their own, rank you for competitive terms — anyone promising that is selling you something else.

Proof

The wall of live listings

Not testimonials — listings. Each one fetched with no cookies, on the date shown, with the URL anyone can open.

What people say

Nothing yet — we launched this week. When customers post about their runs, their actual posts land here. We won't write them ourselves.

What we guarantee

Five promises, each one specific enough to hold us to.

No link farms. Ever.

Your URL never touches a generic “add your URL” page, a reciprocal-link scheme or a paid directory network. 139 sites in our database are disqualified by rule, not by taste.

You pay for listings, not submissions

The plan number is published listings, verified logged-out — not forms filled. If a directory rejects you or never publishes, that one doesn't count toward your total.

We submit well past your number

Because some submissions never publish, we run far more than your plan says — typically 1.5–1.7× — until the live count is met. The overage costs you nothing.

Money back, in writing

If we deliver under half your plan's listings within 30 days, you get a full refund. Between half and full, you get the difference back pro-rata. No negotiation, no retention call.

Full rollback on request

Changed your mind? We request removal from every directory we submitted to, delete your submission inbox, and wipe your profile and assets from our systems.

The fine print: refunds are measured by the same logged-out check your report uses, and paid within 5 business days of day 30. On rollback we send and track every removal request, but each directory honours it on its own timeline — we can't force a third party to delete. Not covered: paid directories you asked us to buy, and sites that reject you for a reason we flagged before submitting.

Packages

One payment per product. No subscription, no retainer — and the number is published listings, not forms filled.

Operator add-on · $79 — a human clears the ~40 sites that require a captcha or a Google sign-in. Paid directories — fees passed through at cost plus handling. We never charge for a listing we couldn't get published.

What we won't pretend

Read this before you buy.

Four things every competitor leaves out

  • Directories decide, so we over-submit. We can't make an editor say yes — so we run 1.5–1.7× your plan until the live count is met, and you see every attempt, published or not.
  • Some sites need you. Captchas, Google sign-ins and payments stay with a human. "Fully automatic to 300 directories" means skipping those, or paying a captcha farm.
  • We skip link farms. 169 sites in our database are addurl.php pages that publish anything. They'd pad the count and do nothing for you.
  • Listings are a floor, not a growth plan. They build baseline backlinks and discoverability. They don't replace having something people want.

Questions

How do you know a listing is really live?

We fetch the listing URL with no cookies and no session — exactly what a stranger sees — and confirm your product name renders. A dashboard saying “approved”, a scheduled launch date, or a confirmation email doesn't count. Until the page resolves publicly, your report says pending.

What email do you submit with?

We create a dedicated inbox for your product and hand you the credentials. Every confirmation, approval and rejection lands there and in your report, and your real inbox stays clean. Prefer your own address? Forward one alias to us instead.

Will this hurt my SEO?

Not the way we do it. We exclude the “add your URL” link farms Google has discounted since 2012, and we pace submissions like a person. What you get are editorial and category listings on sites with real traffic.

How long does it take?

Submissions run over 3–10 days depending on plan — deliberately paced, because 400 forms in an afternoon is what gets listings purged. Verification sweeps at day 7, 14 and 30, so the report keeps filling in after the work is done.

Can I do this myself?

Yes. It's about a week of forms, a few hundred accounts, and the research to separate real directories from farms. That research, the per-site playbooks and the verification are what you're buying.
