Submit your tool to Boost Domain Rating

A startup directory built around a live leaderboard ranked by Ahrefs Domain Rating. Each listing gets a page at /item/<domain> and a badge that shows the site's current DR.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free with a badge and DR 20+, or $9.90 Premium

Is Boost Domain Rating worth it?

Worth a free listing if your domain already has a DR of 20 or more and you are fine showing a badge with your DR on your site. The outbound link was dofollow on every page checked. Skip the Premium Launch unless the 30 day free queue is a real problem, and treat the DR Boost packages ($30 to $150 for links across the operator's own directory network) as a separate purchase decision, not part of listing.

Who should submit to Boost Domain Rating?

Suits SaaS founders and indie makers who track their Domain Rating and want a dofollow link from a small directory. It does not suit brand new domains under DR 20, which the free launch does not accept, or products whose sites cannot carry a third party badge. Visitors are mostly other makers checking their DR, so expect little direct customer traffic.

  • An account (Google, GitHub or email)
  • A domain with an Ahrefs DR of at least 20 for the free launch
  • Their badge on your site, verified before submission
  • Name, short description and a square logo

  3. Check the name and description it fills in from your site
  4. Add the badge to your site and verify the backlink
  5. Submit for the free queue or pay $9.90 for Premium Launch
