Report card

Awesome Directories gets little search traffic, whatever its DR says. Skip the paid tiers unless you know where its visitors come from.

How the score works

Directory Score = DR × traffic multiplier. A directory keeps its full DR only if people find it on Google. Badges and link swaps can raise DR; they can't fake search traffic.

Grades: A 40+, B 20–39, C under 20. DR is Ahrefs Domain Rating where we have it, otherwise a DataForSEO estimate; search visits are DataForSEO's monthly estimate, refreshed monthly.

Free and simple for a directory: a short form or a pull request, reviewed in 3–5 business days. Each profile page has one followed link and one nofollow link to the directory.

Worth It / Watch Out

Worth It

  • Free, with no paid tiers
  • Review time is stated: 3–5 business days
  • Two ways in: a web form or a GitHub pull request
  • Profile pages include a followed 'Visit Website' link

Watch Out

  • The web form needs an account
  • The main 'Submit Product' button on profile pages is nofollow

Before You Submit

Login required: yes for the web form ('You need to be signed in to submit a directory for review'); the README lists Google and GitHub sign-in. The submit page says 'Submissions are reviewed within 3-5 business days' and asks that 'The directory should be active and accepting submissions'. The About page says it also accepts 'community submissions via Pull Requests' on github.com/awesome-directories/awesome-directories, which needs a GitHub account. Its public data file (/data/directories.json) had 316 entries on 2026-10-30. Profile pages have two links to the directory: 'Submit Product' is rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" and 'Visit Website' is rel="noopener noreferrer".

  • Give accurate pricing and link type; the guidelines ask for both
  • If you'd rather use GitHub, open a pull request on the repo instead of the form
Before you submit:
  • On profile pages the first link to the directory ('Submit Product') is nofollow; the followed one is under Quick Links
  • It lists directories only, not products
