Submitsaas Domain Rating

Marlon Makera built SubmitSaaS because he watched SaaS founders burn thousands of dollars on SEO agencies that couldn't deliver backlinks if their lives depended on it. So he did what any reasonable person would do—he built a free calculator that tells you exactly how much your Ahrefs Domain Rating will go up before you submit to a single directory. Select your current DR, pick from 700+ sites in their database, and watch the projected growth update in real time. That's the kind of transparency most SEO tools would charge you $500/month for and still hide behind "custom strategy calls."

Here's the math: DEV Community gives you a DR 90 backlink. Brownbook is 79. StackShare and SaaSHub are both 79 and 78 respectively. You mix in some DoFollows, some NoFollows, and the calculator does the rest. It's not voodoo—it's arithmetic. They've got directories spanning AI tools, software directories, launchpads, communities, and general listings. 203 sites in the current view alone, sorted by DR so you can actually make decisions instead of guessing.

The dirty secret of SaaS SEO is that Domain Rating is one of the few metrics that actually correlates with traffic, and most founders have no idea which directories move the needle and which ones are just vanity links. SubmitSaaS solves that problem in a browser tab. No signup, no credit card, no "schedule a demo." Just pick your directories and watch your DR projections climb. If you're launching a SaaS and haven't thought about backlinks, this is where you start.
