DR (Domain Rating) values are approximate and updated periodically. A “—” in the DR column means we have not measured that domain and make no DR claim for it; “Unverified” in the Link column means we have not confirmed what kind of backlink that site gives out. Always review each directory's guidelines before submitting.

How to use this directory list
Submitting your startup to directories is one of the fastest ways to earn your first backlinks, referral traffic, and a brand presence in search. Work down this list from the highest Domain Rating, prioritising dofollow directories that pass SEO value. Start with SubmitHunt for a free dofollow listing, then read our guides on listing your startup, SaaS directory submission, and startup link submission.
Dofollow vs nofollow
Dofollow links pass authority to your domain; nofollow links still bring traffic and keep your link profile natural. A healthy profile has both — so don't skip high-traffic nofollow sites like Product Hunt or Hacker News.
