Real testimonials from founders who used this to boost their SEO. Unprompted.
"Me and others recommend this product a ton"
"The instructions helped really teach me a few things and this all kicked my DR up to 40 on ahrefs"
"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 🤘"
"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"

Grow your Domain Authority
When you launch a fresh domain, your Domain Rating (DR) starts at 0 — which means you won't rank yet.
Once you cross DR 20, your pages finally start gaining traction. But how do you there? 🤔
With this web app, you'll know exactly which backlinks can get you to DR 20.
I'm so confident that I offer a money-back guarantee:
If you submit to all applicable backlinks and don't reach DR 20, I'll refund you.
But there are hundreds of free directory lists, right?
Absolutely. But Free doesn't mean useful:
Free lists
