Domain Rank is a 0 to 100 authority score from a third-party backlink index, refreshed monthly. It uses the same scale as Ahrefs DR, but the two numbers won't match exactly. Last checked November 2026.

Find yours

Search: "[your niche] directory" "add your business" OR "submit your site" OR "add a listing". Check that the site updates regularly and has real traffic, skip anything that asks for a reciprocal link, and sort by the ones that list your kind of business.

Examples: happycow.net, houzz.com, weddingwire.com

How to submit

  1. Search for directories in your niche and shortlist the active ones.
  2. Find the add-listing or claim-your-business link.
  3. Create an account and enter your business details and website.
  4. Add photos and a plain description, then submit.
  5. Check whether the listing links to your site and whether it is marked nofollow.

Watch out for

  • Many of these sites sell paid placements, so read what the free tier includes before submitting.
  • Some listings are moderated for days.
  • Listings that need a link back to the directory are reciprocal links and should be skipped.

Please get my business listed on Your industry's vertical directory.

First, find the right one. Search: "[your niche] directory" "add your business" OR "submit your site" OR "add a listing". Check that the site updates regularly and has real traffic, skip anything that asks for a reciprocal link, and sort by the ones that list your kind of business.
Pick the best match for my business, then submit there.

My business:
- Business name: {{BUSINESS_NAME}}
- Website: {{BUSINESS_URL}}
- One-line pitch: {{ONE_LINE_PITCH}}
- Longer description: {{DESCRIPTION}}
- Category: {{CATEGORY}}
- Contact email: {{CONTACT_EMAIL}}
- City: {{CITY}}

Steps:
1. Search for directories in your niche and shortlist the active ones.
2. Find the add-listing or claim-your-business link.
3. Create an account and enter your business details and website.
4. Add photos and a plain description, then submit.
5. Check whether the listing links to your site and whether it is marked nofollow.

Watch out for:
- Many of these sites sell paid placements, so read what the free tier includes before submitting.
- Some listings are moderated for days.
- Listings that need a link back to the directory are reciprocal links and should be skipped.

Rules:
- Never enter payment details or pick a paid option. If the only way forward costs money, stop and tell me.
- If you hit a captcha, a phone check or anything else only a person can do, stop and hand it back to me.
- Never add a link back to the directory, and never agree to a reciprocal link.
- Only use the details above. Never make anything up. If a required field asks for something I haven't given you, stop and ask me. Leave optional fields blank.
- If any text is still in {{double braces}}, it is a detail I haven't filled in. Never type that text into a form. If the field is required, stop and ask me.

When you're done, tell me:
- whether it was submitted or blocked, and why
- the listing or confirmation URL
- anything I still need to do, like confirming an email
