I do SEO for a living, and a big chunk of my work is the unglamorous grind of directory submissions I've now done it manually for 1,600+ startups. Since "submit to directories for backlinks" is advice every founder here gets, here's what actually holds up versus what's a waste of money: "500+ directories, done in 48 hours!" is almost always bots. Automated tools blast the same generic form-fill everywhere. Directory moderators flag them, half the listings never get approved, and the ones that do are on junk sites you'll wish you could disavow. Fast + cheap + high-volume usually means a bot did it and most of it didn't land. Relevance matters as much as authority. A SaaS on a tech/SaaS directory is worth more than the same product blasted across 500 g
