Link type · Foundation layer
Directory submissions without the data entry.
Lynx picks relevant directories from its 2,000+ domain base, creates each listing with your brand name and URL, and watches every link for 90 days. You never fill in a form.
What you get
What directory links are
Directories are curated catalogs of sites and businesses: some general, most organized by industry or region. A listing usually includes your brand name, URL and a short description. Search engines have read them as a legitimacy signal for two decades, and they remain one of the safest ways for a new domain to get its first links.
These are foundation links. They point to your homepage with your brand name or naked URL as the anchor, which keeps your link profile natural. One listing won't move a competitive keyword, but a steady base of them is what healthy sites are built on.
- First links for a new domain
- Niche and industry relevance signals
- A natural, branded anchor profile
- Steady monthly link velocity
- Jumping positions on competitive money keywords
- Replacing editorial coverage or digital PR
- Overnight ranking changes
A Lynx plan is never a single-type package. The agent mixes directories, forums, web 2.0 platforms, profiles and crowd mentions in whatever proportion your niche and competitors call for. We can’t promise a fixed number of directory submissions, and that’s deliberate: a profile built from one link type looks manufactured.

FAQ
Honest answers.
Are directory links still worth anything?
Yes, in their own weight class. They won't outrank an editorial link, but search engines still read consistent directory presence as a legitimacy signal, especially for newer domains. They're the cheapest insurance a link profile can have.
Which directories will my site go to?
Lynx picks from its hand-vetted base of 2,000+ domains, filtered by your niche and by what your competitors already have. Every placement shows up in your dashboard with the exact URL once it's live.
Are the links dofollow?
Each directory decides that, and Lynx doesn't override it. A natural profile contains both kinds, and that mix is what search engines expect to see.
Is this the same as local citations?
Close cousins. Citation services focus on name, address and phone consistency for map rankings. Lynx focuses on the link itself: relevant directories pointing to your homepage. If you run a local business, the two complement each other.
How many directory links do I get?
Plans include 10 to 40 links per month across all link types. The mix depends on what your niche offers; directories usually make up a meaningful share for new sites.
The rest of the foundation
Lynx builds every layer.
Plans mix link types based on your niche. These are the other layers the agent places.
Forum backlinks
Lynx finds active, niche-relevant forums in its base, builds real accounts and places your link where the thread allows it. Monitored for 90 days, replaced if moderators take one down.
Web 2.0 backlinks
Lynx writes and publishes short, relevant content on established platforms (hosted blogs and publishing communities) with a link back to your homepage. Set up once, links accumulate monthly.
Profile backlinks
Many platforms give every account a public profile with a website field. Lynx creates the accounts, completes the profiles and points them at your homepage. Simple links, zero effort.
Crowd links
Crowd marketing means being mentioned where people already discuss your niche: threads, comment sections, Q&A. Lynx finds those conversations in its base and adds your link where it fits naturally.
