SubmitToDirectories vs SEO Agency Backlink Packages

General SEO agencies often bundle a handful of directory submissions into a broader monthly link-building retainer, which can bury directory-specific progress inside a larger report and a recurring bill.

Why switch

Teams choose managed submissions for clarity, not just volume.

We stopped babysitting a submission spreadsheet. Assets went in once, and we always knew what was queued, live, or waiting on a directory reply.

Priya NairFounder, Northlane Analytics

Checkout was simple, intake was clear, and the report actually had listing URLs instead of vague ‘done’ emails. That alone was worth it for our launch week.

Marcus EllisonHead of Growth, Relaystack

We needed coverage across review sites and niche directories without burning founder time. The campaign felt organized from day one.

FAQ

Why not just add directory submissions to my SEO retainer?

Retainers often bundle directories into a broader backlink report, which makes it hard to see directory-specific progress. We make directory submissions the entire service with per-listing status.

Do I need a monthly contract?

No. You pay once for Starter, Growth, or Scale. Many SEO agency backlink packages require a recurring multi-month retainer instead.

How do I start?

Buy Starter, Growth, or Scale on the pricing page. After payment we email the asset checklist and begin submissions.
