Submit to Directories: 700+ Places to List Your SaaS

Directory submissions are one of the fastest ways to build backlinks, increase your Domain Rating, and reach high-intent buyers. If you want to submit directories as a growth channel or submit site to directories after launch, each listing can create a permanent backlink that keeps generating SEO value and traffic for years.

For meaningful SEO impact, aim for 60–140 quality directory submissions. Our data shows ~10 DR points from 60 DoFollow submissions, ~15 from 100, and 20+ from 140+, even when starting from DR 0.

Manually, expect 15–25 hours of focused work. Most directories have 5–15 minute forms, plus screenshots, descriptions, categories, and tagline tweaks for each. Our automated service handles all 140+ directories in 48 hours.

Prepare: product name, tagline, short description (50–150 chars), long description (500–1000 chars), logo, screenshots, category, pricing model, and a contact email. Some directories also ask for social URLs and a launch date.

Always start with free directories. Many high-DR free directories (DR 70+) provide excellent SEO value at zero cost. Only consider paid placements once you've covered the free tier.

Yes, when done with quality directories. Spammy mass submissions hurt rankings, but submitting to vetted, niche-relevant directories with real human curation is a Google-approved strategy that compounds over time.
