Submitting your startup to popular directories is a great way to gain domain authority
Launching your startup in public directories is a great way to build more backlinks.
Backlinks are important because they show Google that your website is trustworthy and authoritative.
The more backlinks you have, the more likely Google will rank you higher.
Simple.
It would've been helpful if I had a resource like this when I was launching my startup.
Most lists I came across were either outdated or only included paid directories.
These directories should all be free and with reasonable wait times. (or no wait times at all)
Enjoy.
