How It Works
We handle everything. You focus on building your dev tool.
😊 Fill Out Form
Simply fill out our quick form with your dev tool details. We'll take it from there and make sure everything's presented perfectly.
When we list your dev 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 dev 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 dev 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 developer tools
Why do developer tools need backlinks and SEO?
Developers heavily rely on Google to discover tools, libraries, and APIs. When they search for "best [language] framework" or "[problem] developer tool," quality backlinks help your tool rank higher in results. Developer tools with strong domain authority appear in search results, documentation aggregators, and tool comparison sites. Without backlinks, even the best developer tool remains invisible to potential users searching for solutions.
Where should developer tools get backlinks?
Developer tools benefit from backlinks on tech directories, Product Hunt, GitHub repositories, developer community platforms, and startup listing sites. We submit to 100+ directories including both general tech platforms and developer-specific sites. These backlinks improve your SEO while reaching developers who actively browse these platforms looking for new tools to try and integrate into their workflows.
Can backlinks help developer tools compete with established players?
Yes! The developer tool space is highly competitive, but quality backlinks help level the playing field. When your tool has strong backlinks from respected directories and tech platforms, you can compete for rankings against established tools. Developers also discover new tools through Product Hunt, Hacker News, and tech directories—being listed on these platforms gives you visibility alongside major competitors and helps you capture users looking for alternatives.
How do developer tools get discovered without backlinks?
Without backlinks, discovery is extremely difficult. Developer tools without SEO rely entirely on word-of-mouth, paid ads, or direct outreach—all expensive and time-consuming. Backlinks enable organic discovery: when developers search for solutions, your tool appears in search results. This "inbound" discovery is more effective than outbound marketing because you're capturing developers actively looking for what you've built.
What's the typical timeline for SEO results with developer tools?
Developer tools often see faster SEO results because the tech community actively shares and links to useful tools. Backlinks appear immediately after submission, domain authority improves within 3-4 weeks, and search rankings improve within 4-8 weeks. Developer tools also benefit from referral traffic—many developers browse Product Hunt and tech directories weekly, so you may see immediate sign-ups from directory listings while SEO benefits build over time.
Is $199 worth it for developer tool backlinks?
Absolutely. Developer acquisition costs through ads can easily exceed $50-100 per user for technical audiences. Our $199 service gets you listed on 100+ directories, providing both immediate referral traffic and long-term SEO benefits. If this brings just 5-10 quality developer users to your tool, it pays for itself—and the backlinks continue driving organic sign-ups for years without additional cost.
