DIY Backlinks
Build authority yourself with 45 curated directories ranked by Domain Rating — free on every plan.
DIY Backlinks gives you a hand-picked list of 45 high-authority directories where you can submit your site yourself. It's free on every plan, and it's the fastest way to build a new domain's authority without waiting on anyone.
How to use it
The directories are grouped into five tiers, ranked by Domain Rating. Start at Tier 1 and work down — the top tiers carry the most authority.
- Open a directory card and click Submit — you'll see where to go and what to enter.
- Submit your site on the directory, then mark the card done.
- Dismiss anything that doesn't fit your business; you can revoke a submission or dismissal later.
The stats bar tracks your progress: how many directories you've submitted to, what's still pending, and the Domain Rating points you've gained so far.
DIY vs. managed backlinks
DIY submissions complement the managed backlinks RapidWombat builds automatically on the Pro plan — do both and your authority grows on two fronts.
