Is automated directory submission advisable?
Absolutely not. It’s better to submit your website to directories manually, because you can manually monitor and control both the relevancy and accuracy of every submission you make. Through manual selection of directories and creation of your submissions, you ensure that your business or website is listed only in real, relevant, authoritative, high-quality, and genuine directories.
When your marketing message is clear with less effort, you can emphasize the importance of a brand. Using automated tools for directory submission can be a risky option. Typically, these tools prioritize quantity over quality and submit your details to numerous directories. Most directories are of poor quality, require minimal maintenance, and often contain spammy content.
When you submit thousands of mentions of your company name to non-relevant websites, they will get flagged as spam, and your page rankings will suffer. In fact, search engines may penalize link sites that are sourced from spammy directories or engaged in manipulative link-building schemes.
When you choose to submit your site manually and not automatically, you are protecting your online reputation. Also, you can have a hassle-free SEO with the help of informative and relevant listings.
