The free tier

5 free submissions, up to 10 with two quick steps.

The free tier lets you see the quality of the work on your own business before you pay. Here is exactly how the allowance adds up.

Base

5 submissions

Unlocked when you sign up and confirm your email. No card.

Bonus

+2 for a complete profile

Fill in your business profile, including a long description of 150 characters or more.

Bonus

+3 for two competitors

Name two competitors so we can find the directories your market already uses.

Maximum

10 free submissions

That is the most the free tier gives. Paid packages pick up from there.

Free tier conditions. One free trial per verified business. Eligible directories only. Paid directory fees are not included. Publication and Google rankings are not guaranteed. You approve every listing before the team submits it.

Included in every package

  • AI-assisted business profile, drafted from your site and reviewed by you, then reused in each directory’s format.
  • Directory matching by category, country, tier (major or niche) and pricing (free, freemium or paid).
  • Duplicate checking, so we don’t create a second profile where you’re already listed.
  • Submission tracking in your dashboard: queued, in progress, submitted, pending review, published or not accepted.
  • Listing verification: every published listing is recorded with its live URL, so you can open and check it.

Not included

  • Third-party fees. If a directory charges for a listing or upgrade, we tell you first and you decide.
  • Guaranteed publication. Each directory runs its own moderation and can reject or delay a listing.
  • Guaranteed rankings or AI mentions. Nobody can honestly promise them, and we don’t.
  • Reviews. We never write, buy or fake reviews on any platform.
  • Owner verification steps such as a postcard or phone check, which some platforms require you to complete yourself.

Why there’s a minimum target and a maximum

The maximum is the most a package covers. The minimum target is what we aim to reach using only directories that fit you. Directory submission only helps when the directories are relevant. Google’s spam policies list low-quality directory links as an example of link spam, so filling a quota with whatever accepts a URL would hurt you.

So each package has a range. Starter targets at least 30 and covers up to 50; Growth targets at least 50 and covers up to 80; Scale targets at least 100 and covers up to 200. If your niche or country has fewer relevant directories than the minimum target, we tell you before we start instead of padding the list.

How payment works

Request, pay the invoice, and the team starts.

Payment is handled by a person on our team, not an automatic checkout. Nothing is charged until you pay an invoice you have seen.

  1. 1

    Request a package

    Choose a package in your Directory Boost dashboard and add a note if you need anything specific.

  2. 2

    Get an invoice or payment link

    The team sends an invoice or a payment link for the package price. It also shows on your order in the dashboard.

  3. 3

    Payment confirmed

    Once payment arrives, the team marks the order paid and the submissions are added to your quota.

  4. 4

    The team starts

    We match directories, you approve them, and the team submits by hand. Every status shows in your dashboard.

You can have one open package request at a time. No card is stored and nothing renews automatically.

What drives directory submission cost

Directory submission prices mostly reflect how much human work goes into each listing and how carefully directories are chosen. When you compare offers anywhere, these are the factors to look at:

  • Manual or automated. Bulk tools are cheap per URL but tend to hit the low-quality directories search engines ignore. Hand-made submissions take longer and cost more.
  • Relevance filtering. Matching each directory to your category and country takes research. A long, unfiltered list is cheaper to produce.
  • Profile preparation. Writing an accurate description and adapting it to each directory’s format is real work.
  • Third-party fees. Some directories charge for listings. Check whether a quote includes them; ours doesn’t.
  • Tracking and proof. Status tracking and a live URL per listing let you check what you paid for.

Custom and agency volumes

If you manage several locations, brands or client sites, the team can set up a custom order. A custom order has its own price and submission quota, agreed with you before anything is invoiced.

FAQ

Pricing and payment questions

Billing questions are covered by our Refunds & Billing Policy.

How much does directory submission cost?

LinkHunter Directory Boost packages cost $99 for Starter (up to 50 submissions), $199 for Growth (up to 80 submissions), $399 for Scale (up to 200 submissions). Each package includes an AI-assisted business profile, directory matching, duplicate checking, submission tracking and listing verification. You can start with 5 free submissions before paying anything.

Why does each directory submission package have a minimum and a maximum?

The maximum is the most submissions a package covers. The minimum target is what the LinkHunter team aims to reach using only directories that genuinely fit your category and country. If too few relevant directories exist for your niche, we tell you instead of padding the list with low-quality sites.

How do I pay for a directory submission package?

Request a package from your Directory Boost dashboard. The LinkHunter team then sends an invoice or a payment link, which also appears on your order in the dashboard. Once payment is confirmed, the team marks the order paid, the submissions are added to your quota and work starts. No card is stored on the site and there is no automatic recurring charge.

Are directory listing fees included in the package price?

No. Directory Boost prices cover the LinkHunter team’s work, not third-party fees. Some directories charge for a listing or an upgrade. We flag those before submitting, and nothing paid happens without your approval.

Which directory submission package should I choose?

Starter suits a single business or product testing directories for the first time. Growth adds an advanced report, 60 days of monitoring and priority support. Scale fits companies working across several categories or countries that need up to 200 submissions and 90 days of monitoring. If unsure, run the free audit first and see how many directories you are eligible for.

Do you offer refunds on directory submission packages?

LinkHunter does not guarantee publication or rankings, because every directory moderates independently, so a rejected or delayed listing is not by itself a service failure. Payment is only requested after you choose a package, and work only starts once payment is confirmed. For any billing or refund question, contact the team; billing is covered by the LinkHunter Refunds and Billing Policy.

Who is eligible for free directory submissions?

Any business with a confirmed LinkHunter account can use the free tier once: one free trial per verified business, no card required. Free submissions go to eligible directories only, never include paid directory fees and, like every listing, need your approval. The allowance is 5, plus 2 for a complete profile and 3 for naming two competitors, up to 10.

How long does a directory submission package take?

The team starts once payment is confirmed and works through your queue by hand, and your dashboard shows each status as it changes. How quickly listings go live depends on each directory’s moderation, which ranges from a few days to several weeks. Listing monitoring then runs for 30, 60, 90 days depending on the package.
