Built because the alternative was broken.
When I launched my first product, I wanted to submit it everywhere — directories, listing sites, launch platforms. The more places it appeared, the more visibility, backlinks, and organic traffic I could get.
So I looked for a service to help. What I found frustrated me.
Every directory submission service I came across was either outrageously expensive, completely opaque about where they actually submitted, or maintained a list so outdated it was borderline useless. Some charged $300+ and wouldn't even tell you the names of the directories. Others shared a list but hadn't updated it in over a year — half the links were dead.
So I built DirectoryListings.site to be the thing I wish had existed.
What was wrong with existing services:
Outrageously expensive
Most services charged $200 to $500+ for directory submissions — pricing out indie founders and small startups who need visibility the most.
Hidden directory lists
They never disclosed which directories they submitted to. You paid hundreds and had no idea where your product actually ended up.
Outdated and unmaintained
The few services that did share a list rarely kept it updated. Dead links, inactive directories, and stale DR scores everywhere.
No free option
Founders who wanted to submit manually had no central, well-maintained, free resource to work from. They had to Google every directory individually.
So here's what we built instead.
- ✓A free, fully public list of 200+ vetted directories — no paywall, no signup required.
- ✓Every directory has a direct submit link so you can submit yourself for free.
- ✓A done-for-you service starting at $39 — a fraction of what competitors charge.
- ✓100% manual submissions by our team. No bots, no automation, no shortcuts.
- ✓A full report of every directory we submitted to, every time.
- ✓The list is actively maintained — dead links removed, new directories added regularly.
