Done-For-You Directory Submissions

Directory Submissions for Mobile Apps

Mobile apps need SEO too — and directory submissions build the web presence that drives App Store and Google Play downloads indirectly through organic search.

Why Directory Submissions Matter for Mobile Apps

Most app discovery happens through the App Store and Google Play, but a growing share comes through organic search and referrals. Directory backlinks build the domain authority for your app's website, which helps rank for terms like "[your use case] app for iOS". High-DR listings on startup platforms also drive direct web traffic that converts to app installs — especially for apps with a freemium web version.

What to Highlight in Your Submission

  • Platform availability (iOS, Android, or both)
  • Whether there's a web version in addition to the app
  • The specific use case — be precise about what the app does
  • Rating and download milestones if you have them

Submission Tips for Mobile Apps

  • Include App Store and Play Store links in every submission
  • Mention your rating if it's 4.0 or above — it builds trust
  • Screenshot your actual app UI, not just the marketing website
  • If you have a web version, submit the web version URL as the primary URL

Types of Directories That Work Best for Mobile Apps

  • Mobile app directories
  • General startup launch platforms
  • Category-specific directories (productivity apps, fintech apps, etc.)
  • SaaS directories if there's a web component

Frequently Asked Questions

Do web directories help a mobile-only app?

Yes. Even for mobile-only apps, directory backlinks boost the domain authority of your app's marketing website. This improves your search visibility for "[app category] app" keywords and drives web visitors who convert to app installs.

My app is free with in-app purchases — how should I describe the pricing?

List it as "Free" with a note about in-app purchases. Most directories have a "freemium" or "free with paid features" option.
