Canonical list of directories organized by tier. DR values are approximate and drift over time — verify via Ahrefs or Moz before building a plan around them.
Column legend:
- DR — Domain Rating (Ahrefs). Higher = more link equity passed.
- Dofollow — Whether the backlink passes SEO value. Nofollow listings still matter for referral traffic and brand signals.
- Cost — Free unless noted.
Submit only during launch week. These are time-sensitive with limited re-submission windows.

Not directories per se — these are blog posts on high-DR domains that you get included in via cold outreach. Often more valuable than directories because they combine a dofollow backlink with editorial trust + in-market buyer traffic + AI citation weight.
Search patterns to find opportunities:
"best [category] tools" 2026"best [competitor] alternative""top AI [category]""[category] tools review"
Outreach template (short):
Hey [name], saw your post on [best X tools]. We launched [product] recently — thought it might be worth a mention. Happy to give you a free account + credits for readers. Here’s a 60s demo: [link]. No worries if not a fit.
Target: 10 inclusions in 30 days. Each = dofollow backlink from DR 40–70 + referral traffic + AI citation fuel.
Only relevant once the product has integrations. These are the highest-DR backlinks available — worth engineering effort just to land them.

After any submission goes live, verify the backlink exists and is dofollow. You can:
- Manual: Open the listing, right-click your product link, “Inspect” → check for
rel="nofollow" or rel="ugc". If absent, the link is dofollow.
- curl:
curl -sIL https://directory.com/your-listing | grep -i link
- SEO tools: Ahrefs Site Explorer → Backlinks → filter by this directory’s domain.
Re-verify quarterly. Directories sometimes change all outbound links to nofollow without warning — if DR stops moving, check whether your biggest inbound links have silently flipped.
