# Directory submission service for startups (Directory Boost)

Spook lists a website on 50 dofollow startup and SaaS directories for a one-time $99 per site. Spook creates the accounts, fills the forms, uploads the logo, confirms the verification emails through a dedicated inbox, and tracks every listing until it is live. Nothing is submitted until the owner approves the AI-drafted listing kit.

## The catalog

- 50 directories, all chosen for a dofollow link and all submitted by Spook.
- Median Domain Rating 53; 30 directories at DR 50 or above.
- 34 directories unlock the dofollow once their badge is on the listed site; Spook provides the badge kit.

Strongest names by Domain Rating: StartupFA.me (DR 83), Fazier (DR 82), twelve.tools (DR 81), Dang AI (DR 81), findly.tools (DR 80), Turbo0 (DR 80), SaaSHub (DR 80), Wired Business (DR 77), Active Search Results (DR 74), PeerPush (DR 74), neeed.directory (DR 72), TinyLaunch (DR 72).

## How it works

1. **Add your site and buy the boost.** Create a free Spook account, add your site, and pay $99 once on the Backlinks page. Spook reads your homepage and drafts the listing kit: name, tagline, a short and a long description, categories, logo and cover image.
2. **Approve the copy.** The kit is an editable form. Change anything you like, then click approve. Until you do, nothing leaves Spook. Edits after approval flow into every submission that has not run yet.
3. **Spook submits.** It creates the account where one is needed, fills the form, uploads the logo, and clicks the verification link from a dedicated inbox. Each directory is worked in turn, and the tracker updates as every one is sent.
4. **Track every listing to live.** Each directory has a row: queued, submitted, live, or needs you. Live rows carry the listing URL and are re-checked weekly. Your Domain Rating is snapshotted before the first submission and tracked every week after.

## FAQ

### What is a directory submission service?

A service that lists your product on startup and SaaS directories for you: creating the accounts, filling the forms, uploading the logo and confirming the verification emails. Spook's Directory Boost does this for you across 50 directories for a one-time $99, and tracks every listing until it is live.

### How many directories do you submit to?

50 today, all hand-picked because they give a dofollow link and all submitted by Spook end to end. The number moves as directories open, close or change their rules; the page reads it from the same catalog Spook submits from, so what you see is what gets submitted.

### Are the backlinks dofollow?

Every directory in the catalog was chosen for a dofollow link. 34 of the 50 only flip the link to dofollow once their badge is on your site, so Spook hands you a copy-paste badge kit. Directories can change their rules, which is why live listings are re-checked weekly and the tracker shows what each link actually is.

### How long does it take?

The submissions themselves are the quick part. Most directories then review by hand, which can take anywhere from the same day to a few weeks on their side, and some only publish once their badge is on your site. The tracker shows each directory's state as it changes, so you are never guessing where a listing stands.

### Will my Domain Rating go up?

Usually, and nobody honest can promise by how much. Ahrefs recalculates DR as it discovers new referring domains, and a fresh site with few links tends to move the most. Spook snapshots your DR before the first submission and tracks it weekly, so you see exactly what the boost did rather than taking our word for it.

### Do I need a Spook subscription?

No. Directory Boost is a one-time purchase per site. A free Spook account and your site are all it takes; the 7-day trial needs no card. The tracker lives in your dashboard alongside the rest of Spook if you decide to keep using it.

### What information do you need from me?

Your website URL. Spook drafts the listing kit from your site and shows it to you as an editable form: name, tagline, short and long descriptions, categories, logo, cover image, founder facts like year founded and team size. You correct anything that is off and approve.

### What if a directory rejects my site or is already listing it?

The row says so. A directory that will not take the site is marked ineligible with the reason, and one that already has a listing is recorded with that listing's URL, since the backlink is the goal, not authorship. Nothing is silently skipped.

### Is this suitable for a brand-new site?

Yes, it is the best moment. New sites have almost no referring domains, so a batch of dofollow directory links is the fastest legitimate way to give search engines a reason to trust the domain. Directories also send a trickle of founder and early-adopter traffic that a launch-week site does not otherwise get.
