How It Works
We handle everything. You focus on building your design tool.
😊 Fill Out Form
Simply fill out our quick form with your design tool details. We'll take it from there and make sure everything's presented perfectly.
When we list your design tool on launch directories, you're not just getting links. You're getting discovered by people actively looking for solutions like yours. These directories bring real visitors who convert into customers.
⭐ We Launch
Our team manually submits your design tool to 100+ high-authority directories. No bots, no shortcuts.
The backlinks we build increase your domain authority, which tells search engines your site is trustworthy. Higher domain rating means better rankings on Google and Bing for keywords that matter to your business.
😄 You Grow
Watch your backlinks build up, domain rating increase, and search rankings improve across Google and Bing.
And here's something most people miss: AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity pull data from high-authority sites. When you're listed on quality directories, AI assistants can recommend your design tool to users asking for solutions in your space.
This isn't a quick hack. It's the foundation that keeps working for you long after we're done. Your listings stay live, backlinks stay active, and new customers keep finding you through search engines and AI recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about backlink services for design tools
Why do design tools need backlinks and SEO?
Design tools need backlinks to compete in search results for highly competitive keywords like "graphic design tool," "UI design software," or "online photo editor." Designers discover tools primarily through Google searches and design community platforms. Quality backlinks from directories increase your domain authority, helping your design tool rank higher in search results where designers are actively looking for creative solutions.
Where should design tools get backlinks?
Design tools benefit from backlinks on Product Hunt, design resource directories, creative tool platforms, startup listing sites, and design community platforms. We submit to 100+ directories including both general tech platforms and design-specific sites. These platforms attract designers actively searching for new tools, templates, and resources—giving you exposure to your exact target audience while building SEO through quality backlinks.
Can backlinks help design tools reach more designers?
Absolutely. Designers regularly browse directories like Product Hunt, design resource sites, and tool aggregators to discover new creative software. When your design tool is listed on these platforms, you reach designers at the exact moment they're looking for solutions. Combined with improved SEO from backlinks, this creates multiple discovery paths—organic search traffic plus direct referrals from designers browsing creative tool directories.
How quickly will my design tool see more sign-ups?
Design tools often see relatively fast results because the design community actively shares and tries new tools. Some sign-ups come directly from directory listings within days. SEO improvements take 4-8 weeks to reflect in search rankings, with consistent organic traffic starting 2-3 months after backlinks are established. The design community's tendency to share tools they discover can amplify results through social sharing and word-of-mouth.
Is directory submission worth it for new design tools?
Yes, especially for new design tools competing against established players like Figma, Canva, and Adobe. Directory submissions give you an immediate SEO foundation and exposure to the design community. For $199, you get listed on 100+ directories, saving 70+ hours of manual work while building backlinks that help you compete in search results. This is far more cost-effective than paying $50-100+ per user through design community ads or influencer partnerships.
Will backlinks help my design tool rank on Google?
Yes! When designers search for "best design tool for [use case]," "alternative to [competitor]," or "[specific feature] design software," strong backlinks help your tool appear in search results. Better rankings mean more organic discovery by designers actively looking for design solutions. This inbound traffic converts well because these designers have a specific need your tool addresses—they're qualified leads rather than cold prospects.
