SubmitToDirectories vs SEO Agency Backlink Packages
TL;DR: General SEO agencies often bundle a handful of directory submissions into a broader monthly link-building retainer, which can bury directory-specific progress inside a larger report and a recurring bill. Key difference: Directory submissions are the entire service. SEO Agency Backlink Packages: One line item inside a broader monthly retainer.

FAQ
Why not just add directory submissions to my SEO retainer?
Retainers often bundle directories into a broader backlink report, which makes it hard to see directory-specific progress. We make directory submissions the entire service with per-listing status.
Do I need a monthly contract?
No. You pay once for Starter, Growth, or Scale. Many SEO agency backlink packages require a recurring multi-month retainer instead.
How do I start?
Buy Starter, Growth, or Scale on the pricing page. After payment we email the asset checklist and begin submissions.
