Directory submissions are part of the SEO strategy in the framework, and they're the step I kept doing badly myself.
I run 5 products on 5 domains, so the same list of directories needs 5 different sets of statuses. My spreadsheet was dead by the second product.
So I built the tracking part and put it up free at beyondfolder.com/directories.
518 directories with pricing, submit URL and badge requirements, 515 of them free to submit. Sorted by domain rating so you start with the ones that carry weight. One account handles multiple projects, each with its own statuses.
The part I actually wanted: there's an MCP endpoint, so Claude Code or Grok Bot can read your remaining directories and mark them off while it does the submissions. No more pasting rows into the chat and forgetting to write the results back.
It doesn't submit for you. Most directories have their own forms, captchas and review queues, and the ones that accept automated submissions are usually the ones not worth submitting to.
Free, no paid tier. I built it because I needed it.
One honest note: I've been submitting since February and my domain rating went from 19 to 24. No directory has ever shown up as a referrer in my analytics.
Treat it as slow backlink work, not a traffic channel.
