Methodology

How the directory database earns its keep.

The database is built around launch usefulness, not raw quantity. A directory is valuable when it has a real audience, a visible submission path, a clear fit, or a role in listing verification.

What gets tracked

Fit
Audience category, use case, and whether the directory makes sense for startup, SaaS, AI, SEO, or agency launches.
Friction
Pricing model, login requirement, approval time, required assets, and whether the submission path is obvious.
Link signal
Known or likely link treatment is labeled as dofollow, nofollow, or unknown. Unknown is kept honest instead of guessed.
Priority
High, medium, and low priority are based on launch usefulness, audience relevance, trust, and practical submission value.
Status
Entries can be active, questionable, or dead. Questionable and low-value pages can be noindexed until they justify themselves.
