Manual directory submission service
A manual directory submission service: a person reads each directory's rules, picks the right category, writes the listing for that directory and submits it. You get 100+ directories for $99 one-time, with a live link for every listing.
Moderators reject generic, pasted listings, and that's what most automated tools produce. Manual directory submissions take longer, but far more of them go live.
Enter your site and we read what it does, pick the directories that fit and show the price. Pay once, fill one intake form, and a person submits each listing.

What manual directory submission means in practice
For each directory, a person reads its rules, picks the category from its own list, and writes a description that fits its length and tone. Some directories want a short tagline, some want 300 words, and some reject anything that reads like an ad. A pasted description fails most of them.
A few directories send a verification email. With a dedicated or alias inbox we can finish those without touching your main one. Paid directories are marked and always optional.
Manual vs automated directory submission
Automated tools fill hundreds of forms in minutes, which is why they're cheap. The catch is approval. In an r/SideProject thread, a manual-service founder (a vendor, so read it as one) wrote that "500+ directories, done in 48 hours!" is almost always bots, and that moderators flag generic form-fills.
Google's spam policies also name links created by automated programs as link spam. A directory submission by hand takes 10 to 20 minutes per form, so 100 directories is about a working week for one person. That's the time you're paying for.
What our manual submission service includes
One intake form covers every directory in your package. First listings typically go live within 72 hours, and most submissions are done within 5 to 7 business days. Some directories run their own review queues and take longer, and your report shows the status of each.
At the end you get every directory, its status and a link to the live listing. The listings belong to you and stay up whether or not you keep using us.
