The myth that directory submission is “dead” refers to mass submissions to thousands of low-quality, spammy directories — which Google penalizes. Strategic, selective submission to high-quality, editorially maintained directories remains 100% effective and Google-approved. In fact, for local SEO, business directory citations are more important than ever as a foundational trust signal. Our service focuses exclusively on quality over quantity.

No — not with our service. We only submit to legitimate, high-authority directories that Google considers credible sources. We never use spammy link farms, PBNs, or mass automation software. Every submission follows each directory’s editorial guidelines. We’ve served thousands of clients without a single reported Google penalty. Our white-hat approach is built for long-term safety and sustained ranking growth.

Most clients start seeing measurable improvements in domain authority and keyword rankings within 6–10 weeks of backlinks going live and being indexed. Local SEO improvements (local pack rankings) can appear faster, sometimes within 3–4 weeks. Directory backlinks compound over time — the longer they’re live, the more authority they pass. Results depend on your current site authority, competition level, and the overall strength of your SEO strategy.

You’ll need to provide your business name, website URL(s), business address (for local listings), phone number, business category/niche, a short business description (or we’ll write one), and your target keywords. For agency orders, simply provide these details for each client. The intake process takes less than 10 minutes to complete via our order form.

Our directory submission service produces a natural mix of both dofollow and nofollow backlinks. Roughly 60–70% of the links are dofollow (passing direct SEO equity) and 30–40% nofollow. This ratio is actually ideal — a 100% dofollow link profile looks unnatural to Google’s algorithms. The mix signals organic, natural link acquisition, which is what Google rewards with higher rankings.

Yes — our Enterprise package includes fully white-label reports with your agency’s branding. You can resell our service to your clients under your own brand with professional, branded reports that don’t mention our service. We work with digital marketing agencies worldwide. Contact us before ordering to discuss bulk pricing, ongoing retainer agreements, and custom white-label arrangements.

Absolutely. We have country-specific and city-specific local business directories for the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and many other markets. In your intake form, simply specify your target location and we’ll prioritize the most relevant local and regional directories in your submission campaign. Local directories are particularly powerful for Google local pack rankings and Google Business Profile authority.
