Backlynk

Directory Submission Automation Built for SEO Teams

We believe every website deserves a cleaner, auditable citation workflow. Backlynk automates the tedious work of directory submissions so SEO teams can focus on strategy, review, and proof instead of data entry.

Our Story

Backlynk started as an internal tool. We were managing SEO for multiple SaaS products and spending 20+ hours per week on directory submissions — processing submissions, handling verification, checking emails, tracking results in spreadsheets.

We built automation to handle it. When other SEO teams saw what we had, they asked if they could use it too. That internal tool became Backlynk.

Our Mission

Make auditable off-page work accessible to every website owner. Whether you are a solo founder or a 50-person agency, you should be able to build a reviewable citation foundation without burning hours on repetitive tasks.

We maintain a curated private directory database: 200+ directories across 195 categories, reviewed for relevance, reachability, proof potential, and ongoing quality signals.

Why Trust Our Data

200+

Directories Tested

Every directory in our database has been individually tested with a real browser — not scraped from lists. We verify form functionality, link type (dofollow/nofollow), and Domain Rating on an ongoing basis.

10+ Years

Combined SEO Experience

Our team has managed link building campaigns for SaaS products, fintech platforms, and developer tools. We have audited 2,000+ directories across dozens of niches, identified 200+ that accepted real submissions, supported proof capture, and were worth ongoing monitoring.

195

Curated Categories

Directories are manually categorized by niche — AI tools, fintech, SaaS, startups, design, developer tools, and 189 more. This ensures relevant submissions, not spray-and-pray across random directories.

Weekly

Quality Audits

We run automated quality checks every week — recalculating scores, checking if directories are still online, verifying that backlinks remain active. Directories that go offline or degrade in quality are flagged and removed.

Our methodology is fully documented on our Methodology page. We also publish Editorial Guidelines to ensure every piece of content meets our quality standards.

What We Stand For

Quality Over Quantity

We curate our directory database obsessively. Every directory is manually reviewed before inclusion.

Transparency

No black-box magic. See every submission, every status, every result in real-time.

White-Hat Only

No PBNs, no link farms, and no ranking guarantees. Directory work is treated as citation, discovery, and proof-based monitoring.
