Dofollow links pass PageRank from the directory to your website — Google uses this to assess your domain's authority. For Startup products, dofollow links from directories with an audience in your category carry both SEO authority and topical relevance signals, making them doubly valuable.
A campaign of 15–25 high-DR dofollow submissions is typically enough to produce measurable DR improvement for an early-stage Startup startup. Impact shows in backlink tools within 2–4 weeks and in search rankings within 60–90 days.
