Backlinks & Directories
2 min read · Updated 19 Jul 2026
Links and listings are how the rest of the web vouches for you. The Backlinks section covers three things: a strategy, a directory workflow, and (with real data connected) your actual backlink profile.
Link-building strategy
LiveAll paid plans
An AI-built, white-hat off-page plan: prioritised tactics, linkable-asset ideas, the types of prospects to pursue (never a fabricated list of domains), outreach tips, and a 90-day plan. Steer or regenerate it, then "Generate calendar" to schedule the work as tasks.
White-hat only
Every strategy carries a safety note against bought links, PBNs, "link exchanges," and mass auto-submissions — the shortcuts that get sites penalised. RankAgent won't suggest them.
Directories & the submission kit
LiveList & kit: everyone · AI niche suggestions: paid
A curated directory list filtered to your business type — each with a link, an India/Global chip, a free/paid chip, and a note — with a checkbox to tick off what you've submitted. Fill in your business details once and every directory gets a paste-ready "Fill sheet" with copy buttons for each field, so submitting is copy-copy-paste. Paid plans add "Suggest niche directories with AI."

You submit — we don't
There's no auto-submission. Every directory link opens for you to submit manually, then you tick it off. AI-suggested directories come with a "verify each link before you rely on it" warning.
Your real backlink profile (DataForSEO)
Live · needs setupFounding, Growth & Agency · needs DataForSEO
With DataForSEO connected, RankAgent pulls your real backlink profile: authority rank (0–1000), total backlinks, referring domains with the dofollow split, spam score, and your top referring domains. Add up to five competitors to compute a link gap — the domains linking a competitor but not you, highest-authority first, as a copyable outreach list.

Plan
The backlink profile and link gap are on the branding tiers (Founding, Growth, Agency) and are dormant until DataForSEO is connected. Profiles refresh about every two weeks (cost-bound and cached). The link gap is computed from the top referring domains we pull, and says so.
Next: size yourself up in Competitors.
