What is directory submission? Directory submission means listing your business on online directories, review sites and software marketplaces so customers, search engines and AI assistants can find accurate details about you. Done selectively, it builds consistent citations and referral traffic.
Paste your website. We estimate your category and country and match you against 502 curated directories.
Sign up, confirm your email and fill in one business profile. That unlocks 5 free submissions, up to 10.
Our team prepares each listing in the format the directory asks for. You approve every listing before it goes out.
Follow each directory from queued to published, with a live listing URL as proof once it is accepted.
The audit reads your homepage and checks your business against our catalog. Switch the business type to see how a report changes.
Sample reports for fictional businesses. Directory counts per category are live from our catalog; coverage figures are illustrations.
Bulk blasting to hundreds of directories is how sites get burned. We do the opposite: relevant directories, accurate profiles and proof of every result.
People check several sites before choosing a business. In BrightLocal’s 2026 Local Consumer Review Survey, the average consumer used six different review sites, and use of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools for local recommendations rose from 6% to 45%.
Source: BrightLocal, Local Consumer Review Survey 2026Your name, address, phone and website match on every listing, so search engines and customers see one business, not three versions of it.
A real submission queue worked by our team. Each profile is written in the format the directory expects.
Published means a live URL you can open, not a line in a spreadsheet.
We check what already exists before submitting, so you do not end up with competing listings.
Nothing goes out without your approval. Pause or skip any directory.

Every directory in our catalog is reviewed by our team. We match you by category and country, and we skip the rest.
A sample of directories from our catalog. Counts show active directories per business type today; one directory can serve several types.
Google’s spam policies list “low-quality directory or bookmark site links” as an example of link spam. So we never bulk-submit, never use link farms and never promise dofollow links. If a directory does not serve real users in your category, it is not in our catalog.

Follow each submission from queued to published. When a directory asks for more information, you see it first.
Yes, if you are selective. Google treats low-quality directory links as link spam, so bulk directory submission is a risk. Listings on reputable, relevant directories still help people and search engines find your business, keep your business details consistent and send referral traffic. Directory Boost only submits to directories that match your category and country.
Directory submissions are done by hand. The LinkHunter team works through a submission queue and prepares an accurate profile in the format each directory asks for. You approve every listing first, each submission is tracked from queued to published, and every published listing has a live URL you can open and check.
No. Each directory runs its own moderation, and some directories reject or delay submissions. The LinkHunter team submits carefully, follows up on requests for more information and records each outcome honestly, so you can see which listings are published, pending review or not accepted.
Directory submission does not guarantee rankings, and nobody can honestly promise them. Directory listings are a supporting signal: they make your business easier to find and confirm your details. Rankings depend mostly on your site’s content, relevance and reputation, so treat directories as a foundation, not a shortcut.
Some directory backlinks are dofollow and many are not. Directories set their own link attributes, often nofollow, sponsored or UGC, and Google expects paid listings to be marked that way. Directory Boost picks directories for relevance, visibility and accurate business data rather than for any single link attribute.
The free directory audit reads your homepage, estimates your business category and country, counts the catalog directories you are eligible for, flags listings you already seem to have and previews a sample of matches. The audit costs nothing and needs no card or signup.
After you sign up and confirm your email, one verified business gets 5 free directory submissions made by our team. A complete business profile adds 2 more and naming 2 competitors adds 3 more, up to 10 in total. No card is needed, paid directory fees are not included and you approve every listing.
Provide your business name, website, category, country, a contact email and a short description of 20 to 160 characters. A longer description, logo, address, phone number and social links help too. A complete profile earns 2 extra free submissions and gives directories fewer reasons to reject your listing.
Run the free audit, confirm your email and our team makes your first 5 submissions by hand. No card, and you approve every listing.
