Question 1

What does BacklinkBot actually do?

Accepted Answer

We help your startup get listed on 100+ launch directories and listing sites to build dofollow backlinks, improve domain authority, and grow SEO traffic. You can do it yourself for free with our directory database and submission tracker, or pay us to submit your product to every relevant directory — by hand.

Question 2

Do you submit manually or with a bot?

Accepted Answer

By hand. A real person reads each directory's rules, picks the right category, and writes a proper description. Automated bots get flagged, rejected, and de-indexed — manual submission is what makes a listing stick and actually pass link value.

Question 3

How many backlinks do I get?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your plan: Starter covers 100+ directories, Pro 200+, and Elite 300+ (some directories are paid — those are flagged and optional). We focus on relevant, high-quality, indexed placements rather than spammy volume.

Question 4

Which products work best with BacklinkBot?

Accepted Answer

SaaS products, mobile apps, AI tools, startups and small-business websites — anything looking to build authority and get discovered in its niche. We have directories for both websites and mobile apps.

Question 5

Can I get free directories and do it myself?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our directory database (986+ directories with DR, dofollow status and pricing) is free to browse, and the submission tracker lets you mark each one To-do → Live as you go. Pay us only if you'd rather not do 100+ submissions by hand.

Question 6

Will this improve my domain rating?

Accepted Answer

Quality backlinks from reputable, indexed directories lift your domain rating over time. Results vary by niche and your existing SEO, but customers typically see movement in domain-authority metrics within 30–90 days of submission.

Question 7

I've already listed in some directories — is it still useful?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We submit to the ones you missed, save you the manual hours, and broaden your reach across our vetted database — which would take weeks to work through by hand.

Question 8

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

Most submissions are completed within 5–7 business days. Some directories have their own manual review queues, which can take longer — we track those and include them in your report.

Question 9

Can I get a free backlink without paying?

Accepted Answer

Yes — submit your product to our Launch leaderboard. Once approved, you get a public product page with a dofollow link back to your site, completely free.

Question 10

What's your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Because the work is done by hand and starts as soon as you order, purchases are non-refundable. The one exception: if we're unable to fulfill your submissions from our side, we refund you in full. See our refund policy for the details.

Question 11

Manual submission vs an automated tool — why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Automated submitters fire the same generic listing at every directory, which gets flagged as spam, rejected, or de-indexed — so the backlink never counts. We submit by hand: a real person reads each directory's rules, picks the right category, and writes a tailored description, so the listing is accepted and actually passes link value.

Question 12

Why do some directories ask for a dedicated email?

Accepted Answer

A few directories send confirmation or verification emails and occasional follow-ups. Using a dedicated or alias inbox keeps that noise out of your main inbox and lets us complete verifications without needing access to your primary email. It's optional, and we'll flag any directory that requires it.

Question 13

How do I know which submissions went live?

Accepted Answer

Every order comes with a submission report listing each directory, its status, and a proof URL to the live listing. You can also watch progress in your dashboard — a live X-of-N counter as each submission moves from To-do to Live.

Question 14

Does this help me rank in AI tools and assistants?

Accepted Answer

It helps. AI assistants and answer engines lean on the same signals as search — authoritative mentions, consistent listings, and links from indexed, reputable sites. Getting listed across relevant directories increases the surface area where your product can be discovered and cited.

Question 15

Who owns the listings you create?

Accepted Answer

You do. Every listing points to your domain and uses your product details, so the backlinks and directory profiles belong to you and stay live independent of us.
