Before Submitting to The Hive Index

  • Confirm the site belongs in the Startup Directory category before submitting.
  • Use a real brand email, not a disposable inbox, so confirmation messages can be completed.
  • Prepare a unique 150-300 word description instead of reusing the homepage meta description.
  • Check that the homepage, pricing or contact page, and privacy policy are live before the directory reviews the listing.

Backlynk keeps directory outreach paced and quality-filtered. Directory listings should support entity discovery and topical relevance; they should not be treated as a replacement for useful content, earned mentions, or product quality.
