We read your site
Home, pricing and about pages, plus your backlinks, existing listings and the sites competitors are on.
We score every directory
Each of the 123 directories is scored against your product using its own rules and audience, with Domain Rating by Ahrefs.
You get a rank plan
Ten to submit this week, a launch to prepare, the ones to skip and why, and a listing kit to paste. As a page and a PDF.
What the numbers mean
The metrics on every card, and how to read them.
Domain rating (DR)
Domain Rating by Ahrefs (ahrefs.com): a 0–100 score for the strength of a site's backlink profile. A link from a DR 70+ directory carries real weight with Google. Below 40 the link itself does little; the listing is for discovery.
Domain authority (DA)
Moz's version of the same idea, also 0–100. Different data, so DR and DA rarely match exactly. Agencies and clients often ask for DA, so we show both.
Dofollow vs nofollow
A dofollow link passes authority to your domain and helps you rank. A nofollow link doesn't, but it still sends visitors and gets your site indexed. Prioritise dofollow for SEO; don't ignore high-traffic nofollow sites.
Monthly visits
Estimated monthly visits to the directory itself. It's rough, but it's the best signal for how many people might actually see your listing. The trend line is the last 12 months.
Free, freemium, paid
Free: submit at no cost. Freemium: a free listing exists, but paying gets you featured or skips a queue that can run for weeks. Paid: there's no free option, so weigh the cost against DR and traffic.
Launch platform vs directory
Launch platforms (Product Hunt, Uneed) rank you by votes on a given day; the spike is big but short. Directories and review sites list you permanently, so the value accrues slowly through search.
