What are submissions in SEO?
Submissions are links to your website placed in relevant services such as directories, profiles, reference sites and platforms. They help diversify the backlink profile, attract referral traffic and support organic visibility.
What is a submission link?
A submission link is a backlink created through a submission placement. It may use an anchor or a naked URL, while remaining connected to information about the website, brand or company.
Where are they placed?
Submission links are placed on relevant resources: company directories, profiles, online services, listing platforms, reference websites, rankings and other open sources.
How is it different from a crowd link?
Crowd links appear inside discussions and comments on forums or communities. A submission is created by registering or publishing website information directly within a service, giving the backlink profile a different and often more stable type of placement.
How is it different from guest posts and directory links?
A guest post is an article that normally requires editorial approval. A basic directory link is simply an entry in a shared catalog. A submission sits between these formats: it is structured information about your website published inside a relevant service.
Submissions help diversify the backlink profile, attract relevant referral traffic and improve website visibility in search engines.

Examples: Yelp, Hotfrog, Brownbook, Cylex.
Company profiles
Company cards and brand profiles on external services.
Examples: Crunchbase, About.me, Medium, Behance.
Niche directories
Niche directories selected by business topic and service type.
Examples: industry directories, B2B catalogs and niche listings.
Services and platforms
Platforms, services and external resources that support profile placements.
Examples: Product Hunt, Trustpilot profiles and service platforms.
Local platforms
City and regional resources, local business directories and listings.
Examples: regional directories, city portals and local listings.
Industry resources

Examples: trade media, professional portals and expert platforms.
Platforms are selected by topic, GEO and backlink-profile logic for maximum relevance and effectiveness.
Submission links in link building: why they matter
Submission links form a useful foundation in a link-building campaign. They diversify referring sources and anchor patterns while creating more natural contexts in which search engines and users can discover the website.
A more balanced backlink profile
Submissions add another natural link type to the profile and make its overall composition more balanced.
Brand and URL links
They create brand mentions and natural naked-URL anchors without overloading the profile with commercial keywords.
More referring-domain diversity
Links come from different types of websites and sources, increasing the natural diversity of referring domains.
Brand mentions
Submissions increase the number of places where your company, product or project is mentioned online.
More discovery points for the website
They create additional entry points where users and search systems can discover the website and its brand.
A foundation before stronger links
Submissions create a base layer that makes it easier to add stronger editorial and outreach links later.
Submission links create a healthy, natural and scalable foundation for growing a backlink profile.

Client feedback
What clients say about submission campaigns
Feedback on platform selection, placement quality and campaign reporting.
Nolan Whitaker
B2B SaaS★★★★★
We needed a consistent citation layer before scaling outreach. The placements were grouped by relevance and market, which made the campaign easy to audit and continue later.
Claire Hensley
Local Services★★★★★
Our priority was stronger local discovery across several service areas. The work separated business profiles from niche directories and kept each location tied to the right landing page.
Grant Mercer
Marketplace★★★★★
The marketplace had two distinct audiences, so a single directory list would have been useless. The campaign split placements by buyer and provider intent and used different destination pages.
Paige Hollowell
Travel Content★★★★★
We were supporting a new destination hub and needed discovery points outside editorial outreach. The selected profiles and travel resources matched the destination pages instead of sending everything to the homepage.
Evan Lockwood
Fintech★★★★★
Compliance made broad directory blasting a non-starter for us. The final set leaned on business profiles and relevant industry resources, with neutral brand-first data throughout.
Tessa Marlowe
Health Services★★★★★
The clinic needed accurate business data across several external profiles. The campaign prioritized consistency first and only then added niche healthcare sources where they actually fit.
Reid Carver
Developer Tools★★★★★
We used submissions to establish the product across tool directories before a launch campaign. The sequencing was useful: core profiles first, specialized listings second, outreach after that.
Mallory Keene
E-commerce★★★★★
Our store already had plenty of generic mentions, so we focused on category-relevant listings and product discovery services. The result was a cleaner spread of referring sources rather than more of the same.
FAQ
Submission links FAQ
What are submissions?
Submissions are structured listings or profiles created on external services that include information about a website, company or project together with a backlink.
What are submissions in SEO?
In SEO, submissions are used to broaden the backlink profile, create additional brand discovery points and add referring-domain diversity before or alongside stronger link building.
What are submission links?
A submission link is a backlink placed inside a profile, business listing, directory entry or another structured external page. It is commonly branded, URL-based or non-commercial.
Why use submissions in link building?
They are useful for branded and URL-based links, referring-domain diversity, brand mentions and as a supporting layer before editorial, outreach or other higher-authority placements.
Where are submission links placed?
Common sources include business directories, company profiles, niche directories, service platforms, local listings and industry-specific resources. The actual mix depends on the project and target GEO.
How many submissions does a website need?
There is no universal number. The right volume depends on site age, the existing backlink profile, target pages, market and the wider link strategy. Gradual, relevant placement is usually more useful than chasing a raw count.
Do submission links get indexed?
Some submission pages are indexed quickly, others take longer, and certain platforms restrict indexing entirely. A completed placement therefore does not guarantee that every individual URL will enter the search index.
Can submissions be used for a new website?
Yes. For a new website, relevant business profiles and directory placements can provide an early baseline of branded references. The rollout should still be gradual and aligned with the site’s market and niche.
