What is a directory submission site?

A directory submission site is a website that accepts listings of other businesses, products, or websites and organises them into browsable categories. Submitting your site to relevant, high Domain Authority directories builds off-page signals, helps AI engines discover and corroborate your brand, and exposes you to that directory's audience.

Are these directory submission sites free?

Most are free or freemium. Use the 'Free only' toggle on this page to hide any paid options. A handful of premium directories charge a one-time or annual fee for a featured listing; their fee is shown directly on each entry.

Which directory submission sites should I prioritise first?

Start with the highest Domain Authority sites you can actually submit to (DA 70+), then the directories most relevant to your category. Set 'Min DA' to 70+ and choose your category to see your shortlist. Track progress with the built-in checkmark on each entry — your progress is saved locally to your device.

Do these directory submissions still help SEO in 2026?

Generic spammy directories provide near-zero SEO value and can be harmful. Curated, relevant, high-authority directories still help because: (1) they create real referral traffic; (2) AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity often cite directories like G2, Crunchbase, and Product Hunt; (3) they corroborate your brand entity across the web. The list on this page is filtered for sites that pass that bar.

How does the local checkmark tracking work?

Tap the checkbox on any directory after you submit your site to it. Your progress is saved in your browser's local storage on this device only — it never leaves your machine, no account is required, and there is no server-side tracking. Clearing browser data resets it.

Can I export the full directory list?

Each individual URL can be copied in one click using the 'Copy URL' button. Bulk export of the full dataset is intentionally not provided.
