Submit your tool to Directory.Top

A general business and website directory covering local services, retail, health and software. One paid submission option at $99.99, reviewed by an editor, with a bonus article on Scoop Articles and Proven Wire.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link $99.99 per listing

Is Directory.Top worth it?

Hard to recommend for software makers. It costs $99.99, it mostly lists local and service businesses, and 7 of 8 listing pages checked linked out with rel nofollow, so the SEO value is low. Only about ten listings were visible, which suggests little traffic. If you want a business profile here anyway, fill the long form fully, since editors add the logo themselves.

Who should submit to Directory.Top?

Fits local businesses and service firms that want a detailed profile with services, areas served and contact details. It does not suit indie software makers or startups looking for users or followed backlinks, since the price is high and product links checked were mostly nofollow.
