How I grew my launch platform domain rating from 0 to 27 in 2 weeks

Most indie hackers know the pain of SEO. You build a great product, but your domain rating sits at a depressing 0 for months while you manually submit to random directories, chase guest posts, or wait for Google to notice you.

I am getting ready to officially launch a brand new automated distribution and backlink feature for LaunchOn.it very soon, and two weeks ago I decided to run an experiment to prep for it.

Instead of doing manual link building or paying an SEO agency, I built an internal agentic workflow using Claude, Cursor, and Codex.

I automated the entire submission pipeline across a dense network of launch platforms, software directories, and high-authority curation boards, and through the MCP Server, Claude, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client are able to do it almost on auto-pilot. Of course, there's still the need of human intervention for creating accounts and CAPTCHAs, but other than that the process is completely automated. The AI agent knows exactly what forms to fill, it places reciprocal links or badges automatically in your projects and waits for you to deploy the changes in production to complete the listings.

The results after exactly 14 days:

• Domain Rating jumped from 0 to 27 tracked via Ahrefs

• Do-follow referring domains spiked rapidly

• Zero manual copy-pasting or form-filling fatigue

It turns out that when you let AI agents handle the repetitive grunt work of directory distribution at scale, SEO authority compounds way faster than humanly possible, right in time for my upcoming feature release.

Have any of you tried automating your backlink acquisition or directory distribution using AI agents yet? What results did you see?
