Use Cases of LaunchDirectories.com

The Strategic SaaS Launch

For a B2B SaaS company preparing for a public launch, our platform is indispensable. The team can filter for high-DR (70+) dofollow directories specific to software and technology. By targeting these authoritative sites, they secure powerful backlinks that immediately boost domain authority and search engine rankings, while also gaining exposure to a targeted audience of early adopters, developers, and potential enterprise clients.

The Indie Hacker's Solo Launch

An indie hacker launching a new micro-SaaS tool lacks the time for manual research and submission. They utilize our managed submission service to automatically gain listings across 30+ relevant directories. This efficient approach generates the initial wave of traffic, validates the product with early users, and builds a foundational backlink profile—all without diverting critical development time.

The SEO & Link-Building Campaign

Digital marketing agencies and SEO specialists use LaunchDirectories.com as a core tool for client campaigns. They leverage the filtered database to systematically identify and submit client websites to a mix of free and premium dofollow directories. This builds a natural, high-quality backlink profile that signals authority to search engines, directly contributing to improved organic search rankings and sustained traffic growth.

The Niche Product Launch

Creators launching a specialized product, such as a new AI tool for designers or a niche mobile app, use our category-specific filters. They can pinpoint directories that cater exactly to their target audience, ensuring their launch announcement reaches highly relevant communities. This targeted visibility leads to higher conversion rates, more qualified feedback, and stronger initial user engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Domain Rating (DR) and why is it important for SEO?

Domain Rating (DR) is a metric developed by Ahrefs that scores a website's backlink profile strength on a scale from 0 to 100. A higher DR indicates a more authoritative and trustworthy site in the eyes of search engines. Prioritizing submissions to directories with high DR is crucial because backlinks from these authoritative sources pass more "link equity," significantly boosting your own site's SEO performance and helping you rank higher in search results faster.

How does the 'Auto Submit' managed service work, and what are its benefits?

Our 'Auto Submit' service is a fully managed, white-glove offering. You provide your product details, media assets, and target preferences. Our experts then manually handle the entire submission process to a curated list of 30, 60, or 100+ directories. The benefits are profound: it saves dozens of hours of manual work, ensures professional and compliant submissions, and delivers a powerful, diverse set of authoritative backlinks to accelerate your domain authority and online visibility from day one.

What is the difference between dofollow and nofollow links, and which should I prioritize?

A "dofollow" link is the standard hyperlink that passes SEO authority (link juice) from the linking site to yours, directly contributing to your search rankings. A "nofollow" link contains a tag that tells search engines not to pass authority. While nofollow links from high-traffic sites like Product Hunt are excellent for referral traffic, you should strategically prioritize dofollow links from high-DR directories for building core SEO strength. A balanced launch strategy targets both.

How many directories should I submit my startup to for best results?

Quality always supersedes quantity. A focused submission to 20-30 highly relevant, high-quality directories is far more effective than a scattergun approach to hundreds of low-quality sites. We recommend a tiered strategy: start with 5-10 top-tier, high-DR platforms, then expand to a broader set of 20-30 relevant directories. Use our filters to build this list based on your niche, desired backlink profile, and available resources for a maximized return on effort.
