How it ranks

How the shortlist is put together

  • 01

    Only open directories

    Closed and dead directories are left out, and each one's data comes from its own site, with the date we checked it.

  • 02

    Fit first

    Directories in your product's category rank highest, then general startup directories. Your goal adds weight: review sites for buyers, launch boards for a launch day, checked dofollow links for backlinks.

  • 03

    Your limits are hard limits

    Anything over your budget per directory, or known to take longer than your deadline, is left out. A directory whose price or approval time we haven't checked is marked.

  • 04

    Then the DirPilot Score

    Within that, directories are ordered by our score out of 100: authority, indexation, link type, cost and approval speed, from checks we've actually made.

FAQ

Common questions

How many directories should I submit to?

Enough to cover the places your buyers actually look, and no more. For most products that's 10 to 30: the main launch boards, the directories in your niche, and a few strong general ones.

Past that you're adding upkeep, not reach. Google's spam policies treat links from low-quality directories as link spam, so a short list of relevant ones beats a long list of anything.

Why is a big directory missing from my list?

It's probably outside your budget, slower than your deadline, or not in your product's category. Try "Any price" and "No rush" to see everything that fits your product. Directories that have closed aren't listed at all.

What does "Dofollow, checked" mean?

That we looked at a real listing on the directory and its link to the product had no nofollow, ugc or sponsored attribute. Directories that only claim to be dofollow aren't marked that way until someone checks a live listing.

What do I need before I submit?

A live product on its own domain, a one-line pitch, a short and a long description, a square logo, a few screenshots and your real pricing. Write the description for each directory rather than pasting the same paragraph everywhere.

Can I share or save my shortlist?

Yes. Your answers are in the page address, so you can bookmark it or send it to someone. Copy checklist gives you a numbered list with each submit page, and CSV downloads the whole table for a spreadsheet.

Have the shortlist, short on time?

We submit to the directories that fit, write a description for each, and send a report with every live link.
