1. What makes our service better?
We handpick directories based on metrics such as Domain Rating (DR), Domain Authority (DA), and Spam Score, thereby maximizing the quality and SEO value of your backlinks.
3. What is Domain Rating (DR), and why is it so important for SEO?
Domain Rating (DR) shows how strong a website's backlinks are. High DR links boost authority, while low DR links add natural diversity—both are key to healthy SEO.
4. What is Domain Authority (DA), and why is it so important for SEO?
Domain Authority (DA) measures a website's SEO strength. High DA boosts rankings, while low DA backlinks add diversity. A mix of both creates a natural, balanced backlink profile for search engines.
5. How long does it take to get my submissions completed?
The process usually takes between two weeks and four weeks, depending on your plan. You can track the entire procedure through our real-time report, where you'll find all your submission links and screenshots.
6. Do directory submissions help with AI search / ChatGPT visibility?
Yes. AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews draw on information from across the open web when answering questions and recommending products.
Directory listings provide structured, consistent details about your startup — name, description, category, and website — that help these systems recognize your company as a real entity and reference it as a source. Being listed across multiple reputable directories reinforces that recognition.
7. Will my startup be submitted to the whole directory list?
- For the Basic plan, your startup will be submitted to 30+ directories, and you can get 25 - 30 backlinks guaranteed.
- For the Expert plan, your startup will be submitted to 60+ directories, and you can get 55 - 60 backlinks guaranteed.
- For the Ultimate plan, your startup will be submitted to 120+ directories, and you can get 100 - 120 backlinks guaranteed.
* The approval rate for your submissions depends on your startup type and the quality of your site.
8. What happens if I already have listings?
Rest assured, our manual agents carefully identify directories where your business already has a profile listed and mark them as 'Already Submitted' in your report.
9. What do we mean by support for changes and corrections?
We refer to changes to the company information/images that our clients can request within the period determined by the plan they purchased. These changes may include (description, founder name, slogan, features, logo, etc.)
* Please keep in mind that around 15% - 20% of directories may not allow updates after initial submission.
10. Is it necessary to get my startup approved on the Startup Ranking platform before I can purchase the SR Booster service?
11. How long does the service take to show results?
