If the question is about GetMoreBacklinks specifically, continue to Step 3.
Step 3 — GetMoreBacklinks platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md
for the full platform reference — plans, pricing, submission process, what's included, and expected outcomes.
Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
You no longer need the platform guide — focus on the user's specific situation.
Decision framework: managed vs DIY
- Pay for managed when: new to SEO, no time to research directories, want bulk submissions done quickly, budget > $100
- DIY when: you want control over which directories, have time to optimize each listing, want to target high-DR directories specifically, budget < $100
- Hybrid: Use GetMoreBacklinks for bulk lower-tier directories, manually submit to top-tier platforms (Product Hunt, BetaList, Indie Hackers) where listing quality matters

Gotchas
Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.
- One-time fee per website — each product/domain requires a separate purchase. Serial launchers should factor this into total cost.
- 14 working day delivery — not calendar days. Expect ~3 weeks from purchase to completed submissions.
- DR 30+ guarantee is within 45 working days — don't expect immediate DR jumps. Backlinks take weeks to be crawled and indexed.
- You don't choose the directories (Starter/Advanced plans) — expert-curated selection. Business/Pro plans allow hand-picking.
- Blog posts (Pro plan only) — the 5 SEO blog posts are written for your site, not guest posts on other sites.
- No API or self-service dashboard — this is a done-for-you service, not a tool. Communication is via email.
- Mixed trust scores online — ScamAdviser and ScamDoc show low trust scores. Research and verify before purchasing large plans.

Examples
Example 1: Should I pay for directory submissions or do it myself?
User says: "I just launched a SaaS tool and I'm thinking about using GetMoreBacklinks. Is it worth $187 or should I just submit to directories myself?"
Skill does: Evaluates the user's time vs money tradeoff, explains what 200 submissions actually gets you (mostly low-to-mid DR directories), recommends a hybrid approach — DIY the top 10 high-DR directories with
, then consider GetMoreBacklinks for the long tail if time is scarce.
Example 2: Setting expectations after purchase
User says: "I bought the Business plan. What should I expect for my DR and when?"
Skill does: Sets realistic expectations — DR improvement depends on starting point, most directory backlinks are low-to-mid authority so DR gains are gradual (typically single digits over 2-3 months), explains that 200 submissions doesn't mean 200 live backlinks immediately, recommends tracking with Semrush or Ahrefs.
Example 3: Results seem underwhelming
User says: "Got my GetMoreBacklinks report back but my rankings haven't changed"
Skill does: Explains that directory backlinks are a long-term SEO signal, not a rankings shortcut. Checks whether the user verified the submissions are actually live and indexed. Recommends supplementing with higher-quality link building and content, routes to
for tracking.
Troubleshooting
DR hasn't improved after submissions
Symptom: Purchased a plan, received the report, but domain rating hasn't moved
Cause: Directory backlinks are mostly low-to-mid authority. DR improvements from directory submissions alone are typically small (2-15 points) and take 2-3 months to reflect in tools like Ahrefs/Semrush. Google needs to crawl and index each listing first.
Solution: Verify listings are live by spot-checking 10-15 URLs from the report. Check Google Search Console for new referring domains. Give it 60-90 days before evaluating. For faster DR gains, supplement with guest posts, content marketing, and PR.
Not sure which plan to choose
Symptom: Confused between Starter ($87), Advanced ($127), Business ($187), and Pro ($247)
Cause: The plans differ primarily in submission count and whether you get to hand-pick directories
Solution: For most startups, Advanced ($127, 100 submissions) is the sweet spot — enough volume to move the needle without overpaying. Business ($187) adds hand-picking control. Pro ($247) only makes sense if you also need blog content. Starter ($87, 50 submissions) is fine for testing.
Submissions not appearing in backlink checkers
Symptom: Report says submissions are complete but Ahrefs/Semrush doesn't show new backlinks
Cause: Backlink crawlers have delays. Ahrefs updates every 1-2 weeks, Semrush monthly. Some directory listings may not be crawled for weeks.
Solution: Wait 30-60 days, then re-check. Manually verify 5-10 listings from the report by visiting the URLs. If listings are live but not in backlink tools, they simply haven't been crawled yet. You can submit the directory listing URLs to Google Search Console's URL Inspection tool to speed up indexing.
