Sold to over 850 startups - these are some testimonials. Unprompted
"Me and others recommend this product a ton"
"Thanks in part to this resource, we've reached a DR of 37 and we're continuing to grow each month"
"Followed @philkellr guide and my DR is 47 now"
"We just got our first #1 spot on Google"
"Look what I did with SEO Kickstarter in 2w"
"I didn't even know some of these existed! I would have lost a lot of time in other directories that probably would mean nothing to my domain. Great resource for a great price 🤘"
"I ABSOLUTELY LOVED your guide: how it is organized, instructions, short comments, and direct links to forms. It really saved me a couple of days I would spend on research."
"More than a list of strong directories with their link strength, Philipp also shares many more tips about SEO and backlink strategies"
"Investing in backlinks is a great way to kickstart the ranking […] buy a listing of sites to submit yours, like backl.io. Also: Best money back guarantee I've seen"
"This boosted the domain ranking of Maildroppa in about 2 weeks to 46 ahrefs DR. Now that I know - I would pay up to 800 usd for this"
"This has inspired me to start learning & taking SEO seriously. 🙌"
"Amazing tool with solid value, curating backlinks is tedious work, so thanks for saving me the time."
"This helped my website to go from unknown to dominating my niche, because I registered it in many directories suggested by Philipp. Will grow other websites the same way."
"I was a bit skeptical since I already had a bunch of backlinks, but the additional ones made a big difference. I'm going to be doing this again for a few more projects, so this more than paid for itself."
"Whenever someone is pushy about offering backlink services, I'll refer them to @philkellr's product as a solution why I don't need their service"

Backlink guide preview
| Link strength | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | Link strength: 25 If there's any way to package your product, or a mini-product around your service, as a Slack app then you can create a Slack app and publish it on the app store - and get an additional 25 strength backlink as byproduct Example URL: http://slack.com/apps/A04… Submit URL: https://api.slack.com/app… | App stores |
| 24 | Link strength: 24 You might know Youstory from the VC backed startups which already made it. You might not know that they also cover smaller bootstrapped startups like Famewall. Granted, you need to have a good story and some luck so they cover you, but it's worth a shot and the backlink is stronger than the one of Producthunt! Example URL: https://yourstory.com/com… Submit URL: https://form.jotform.com/… | Miscellaneous |
| 22 | Link strength: 22 Everyone knows producthunt and that the backlink from it is great. What not everyone knows: You can launch multiple times. So you can launch in "easy mode" very early in your product lifecycle to get the 22 AS backlink. You can relaunch without problems every 6 months. If you do it more often then you need to state what major feature justified the new launch. Example URL: https://www.producthunt.c… Submit URL: https://www.producthunt.c… | Communities |
| 15 | Link strength: 15 Libhunt is a "compare solutions" directory. If your source code is open source and hosted on github you can list here Example URL: https://www.libhunt.com/c… Submit URL: https://www.libhunt.com/r… | Directories |
| 60+ other directories, app stores, communities, newsletter/blog tools. All with link strength of 10+. |

After you submitted to all directories applicable to your startup.
But there are hundreds of free directory lists, right?
Absolutely. But Free doesn't mean useful:
- Not relevant —
- I checked a few lists against Semrushs backlink data. 75% had no SEO impact
- Too long, unsorted —
- You invest hours of energy for little results
- Lack of info —
- unless you start the registration process, you have no idea if your product fits the site
- Copy paste —
- they all contain the same sites
- High SEO impact —
- Includes only sites with strong backlinks (checked with Semrush, Ahrefs and MOZ)
- Organized by strength —
- Register to highest impact sites first
- Description and examples —
- check if your product fits the site before starting the registration process
- Secret sites —
- you never heard of. But all totally legit, non-shady
