The launch report: what it contains and how it works

It opens with four counts for the domain: how many directories list it, how many of its links are live, how many were never indexed, and how many it has lost. Then, in order: what the dead and unindexed listings cost, each one linking to the page it was read from; the directories that list products like yours but not you; the rated directories worth going to next; and, when we have audited your own site, whether its pages can convert a directory link into search visibility at all.

It closes with a section naming what we could not tell you. Directories we have never rated are listed there rather than ranked on a guess, and so is anything that needed a Search Console connection you have not made. A report that omits its own gaps is the genre's usual failure, so ours prints them.

One thing can be added to an order: the submission add-on, where we submit the product to directories by hand. When it is bought the report also carries your submission profile, the submissions made on the order, and a prefilled kit per directory. What that work cannot do is move a number, which is the point of publishing our own acceptance rates on the methodology page.

Reports are private by default: the URL is unguessable, the page is excluded from search engines, and we never publish a customer's report. Sharing the URL is the owner's choice.

The price is on the pricing page. If we cannot build a useful report for a domain we say so before charging, and a report that turns out empty is refunded the same day. Buying a report changes nothing on the public site: it reads the measurements, it does not move them.
