## Is Startup Ranking worth it?

Worth a free registration if you can wait months, because the profile and ranking page are permanent. The free link is nofollow, so it does little for SEO. Paying $49 skips the queue but still gives a nofollow link; a dofollow link needs the Premium Profile at $25 a month and reverts to nofollow when you cancel. Register early in a launch plan and forget about it rather than paying.

## Who should submit to Startup Ranking?

Suits startups that want a permanent profile in a well known ranking database and do not mind a long wait. A low ranking is visible to anyone, so very small products may not gain much. Not a fit for makers who want quick traffic, a launch day or a free dofollow link.

## What you need before you submit

- Sign in with Google, Facebook, LinkedIn or X
- Startup name, URL, country and state or region
- Founding date, industry and business type
- A public website the ranking can measure

## How to submit

1. Open the Create Startup page and validate your URL
2. Sign in with a social account
3. Fill in the profile: name, slogan, location, founding date, industry, tags
4. Submit and wait for approval, or buy Faster Approval
5. Claim the profile later to edit it

## Pros

- Free registration, no badge required
- Permanent profile with global and country rank
- Paid options are clearly priced
- Profile shows social links and domain rating

## Cons

- Free approval queue the site puts at 60 to 80+ days
- Outbound link is nofollow on free and Faster Approval profiles
- Dofollow only with a $25 a month subscription
- The site sits behind a bot check on first visit

## Tips

- Register as early as possible so the queue clears around launch
- Make sure social profiles are public so metrics are counted
- Skip paid options unless the newsletter spotlight matters to you
- Check the Black Friday codes on the promotion page if you do pay
