Instant approval means your listing goes live automatically or within a few hours of submission — no editorial review queue. For Dev Tool startups launching on a specific date, instant-approval directories let you build your backlink profile immediately rather than waiting days or weeks for manual review.
Yes — submit to instant-approval directories a few days before your official launch date so the backlinks are indexed and contributing to your DR by the time you announce. Combine this with manual-review submissions 2–3 weeks before launch so those clear around the same time.
