Our team of 20 SEO professionals hand-submits your startup, SaaS or AI tool to 220+ high-authority directories. You fill out one form. We handle every listing, then send you the live links and screenshot proof within 5-7 days.
One-time payment from $99. No subscription. DR 30+ guaranteed on the Authority plan.
To submit directories is to create a listing for your product on online directories such as Product Hunt, G2, Capterra, BetaList and Indie Hackers. Each accepted listing gives you a public profile page and a backlink pointing at your site. Those backlinks raise your Domain Rating, help Google rank you for your category, and put your product on the pages that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude pull from when someone asks for tools like yours.
The work itself is not hard. It is just slow and repetitive: create an account, confirm your email, fill in the same twelve fields, upload a logo in the right dimensions, write a description that fits the character limit, wait for moderation, and fix whatever got rejected. Multiply that by 220 and you have a full two weeks of a founder's time. That is the part we take off your plate.
Every one of these is editorially reviewed and crawled constantly. No link farms, no expired-domain "directories", nothing that could get you a manual penalty.
Plus 204 more hand-picked for your category. AI tools get the directories that ChatGPT and Perplexity crawl, local businesses get citation listings, ecommerce gets marketplace directories. Browse the full list on our best startup directories guide.
Four steps. You are only involved in the first two, and both take under two minutes.
Choose 60+, 150+ or 220+ directories and pay once through Stripe. No subscription, no upsell call.
You are redirected straight after checkout. We need your URL, a short description, a logo and an email for directory confirmations.
A real person creates each listing, writes a description that fits that directory's rules, and screenshots it before and after.
Within 5-7 days (3-7 on Authority) you receive every live link, two screenshots per directory, and the DR movement so far.
Most "submit to 100+ directories" tools are a script that pastes the same blurb into every form. Directory moderators can tell, and the listing quietly never goes live.

MiroMiro just jumped +15 DR in a day. All I did was use @DStartupsubmit's directory listing service. Fast, zero manual grind, and the results speak for themselves.
Increased my DR from 11 to 26 (thanks to @DStartupsubmit). Published 100 plus blogs including some in French and German. Getting also small traffic from AI tools.
Replymer reached 30 DR in just over a month. Also I use the site directory submission service @DStartupsubmit. It's a good way to give your domain name a boost.
If you want to rank higher in Google & LLMs, they manually submit your startup to 200+ directories. Pretty cool!

Your investment is protected. We guarantee the number of successful listings in your plan. If a directory rejects your niche, we substitute the next high-authority alternative, and if we fall short, we keep working until the promise is met. At $199 for 220+ directories that is about $0.90 per high-authority backlink, versus roughly $15 per link at a typical SEO agency.
Doing it yourself takes about 20-30 minutes per directory once you count the account, the form, the logo upload and the email verification. For 220 directories that is 70-110 hours. We complete the same work in 5-7 days, or 3-7 on the Authority plan, because 20 people are doing it in parallel.
A one-time fee of $99 for 60+ directories, $199 for 150+, or $199 for 220+ with a DR 30+ guarantee. There is no monthly charge and no hidden add-on required to get the report.
Yes, as long as the directories are real. Google devalued spam directory networks years ago, but product directories and review sites with editorial moderation still pass trust, get crawled constantly and send visitors who are actively looking for tools. We only submit to that second group.
They help. AI assistants assemble answers from pages they already trust, and G2, Capterra, Product Hunt, AlternativeTo and SaaSHub are heavily represented in that set. A consistent, well-described listing on each makes you a citable entity instead of a single unknown domain. Expect a few weeks for the listings to be indexed first.
We check for existing listings and skip duplicates, then pull replacements from our wider database so you still receive the full number of submissions you paid for.
Yes. The directory mix changes with your category. AI tools get the AI-specific directories that ChatGPT and Perplexity crawl, local businesses get citation and map-style listings, ecommerce stores get product and marketplace directories. Tell us your niche in the onboarding form.
Almost nothing. Checkout redirects you to a short onboarding form: your URL, a description, a logo and a contact email. Some directories send confirmation emails to that address, and we tell you which ones to expect. Everything else is handled by our team.
I'm an SEO specialist, not a salesman. I built StartupSubmit because I kept watching good founders burn their runway on automated tools that delivered a spreadsheet of "submitted" links that were never live. Real authority is built the boring way: one correct listing at a time. You don't have 80 hours for that, so my team of 20 does it for you.
