Launch Directories

Domain Rating (DR) is a metric (on a scale of 0-100) that indicates the strength of a website's backlink profile. A higher DR means the directory is more trusted by search engines. Getting a backlink from a high-DR site can significantly boost your startup's SEO and search rankings. LaunchDirectories tracks DR for all listings so you can prioritize high-impact directories.

The directory data, including DR ratings, traffic stats, and active status, is checked and updated monthly. This ensures you're always working with the most current information, avoiding dead links or directories that have lost their authority. Each directory listing shows its last verification date.

Most of the directories listed are free to submit to, offering significant value without cost. However, some premium directories may charge a fee for submission or expedited review. LaunchDirectories clearly marks which directories are paid, allowing you to plan your submission strategy accordingly.

Dofollow links pass 'SEO juice' (link equity) to your site, directly helping your search rankings. Nofollow links do not pass SEO juice but can still drive valuable referral traffic and build brand awareness. While dofollow links are generally preferred for SEO, nofollow links from high-traffic or highly relevant directories can still be very beneficial for visibility and direct traffic. LaunchDirectories indicates the link type for each listing.

Our 'Auto Submit' service allows you to submit your product to 100+ directories with minimal effort. You provide your product details once, and our team manually handles the submission process to all relevant platforms. This saves you significant time and ensures consistent, high-quality submissions, helping you quickly build valuable backlinks and maximize your startup's exposure across the web.

It's recommended to start with 10-15 high-DR directories that are most relevant to your startup's category. Quality always trumps quantity. Focus on crafting compelling, tailored submissions for a select few rather than spamming many. Use LaunchDirectories' filters and metrics to identify the most impactful directories first, then expand as needed.

Most directories require: your startup name, website URL, tagline/description (usually 100-200 words), logo (typically 200x200px or larger), screenshots or demo video, pricing information, and founder details. Some directories also ask for social media links, funding status, or launch date. Having these materials ready will speed up your submission process significantly. LaunchDirectories shows the specific requirements for each directory to help you prepare accordingly.
