How does SubmitWell improve my website's ranking (SEO)?

We manually submit your startup to 100+ high-authority directories, creating quality dofollow and nofollow backlinks. These backlinks improve your domain rating (DR) and help search engines recognize your site as more trustworthy, leading to better rankings.

Do you use bots to submit?

No, we use 100% manual submissions. Our team manually reviews each directory and submits your startup by hand to ensure quality and proper categorization. This approach results in higher acceptance rates compared to automated tools.

Do you guarantee coverage/acceptance?

We guarantee that all submissions will be completed manually and professionally. We cannot guarantee acceptance by every directory (as each has their own review process), but we ensure quality submissions to all directories in your package.

Directory Submissions for SaaS Founders

SaaS founders live and die by organic growth. Directory submissions build the backlink foundation that supports every other SEO effort — and they're a one-time investment that keeps paying off.

Why This Matters for SaaS Founders

SaaS businesses are unusually dependent on organic search — it's the channel that scales without proportional cost increases. Directory submissions are the fastest way to build the domain authority that makes all your other SEO work more effective. Every high-DR directory you're listed on contributes to your ability to rank for target keywords, reduces bounce rates from branded searches, and drives qualified referral traffic from comparison searches.

Common Challenges

High CAC from paid channels eats into SaaS margins
SEO takes time — needs a strong backlink foundation to work
Comparison searches ("alternative to X") are hard to capture without directory presence
Manual directory submissions are tedious and not a good use of founder time

Frequently Asked Questions

How many directory backlinks does a SaaS product typically need to see results?

Even 20–30 quality directory backlinks from high-DR sites (DR 40+) can meaningfully move your domain rating if you're starting from zero or a low baseline. Our Starter plan (50 submissions) typically produces 30–40 live backlinks after directory approval.

Should I submit before or after my Product Hunt launch?

Ideally before. Having existing directory listings when you launch on Product Hunt means there's already web presence for people to discover when they search your product name. It also means your domain rating is higher, which helps your Product Hunt page rank faster.

Do directory submissions help with comparison keywords like "best CRM software"?

Indirectly yes. Being listed on SaaSHub and AlternativeTo means you appear when people search for alternatives to competing products. The domain authority from all directory backlinks also makes it easier to rank for category keywords over time.
