ExactSeek
Conditional free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Free submission requires the submitted site to have proper Title and Meta Description tags
- Submitter must respond to a verification email sent after Membership Signup — no response means the site is not added
- Submitting implies consent to receive the free SiteProNews webmaster newsletter
Requirements
- Site must have proper Title and Meta Description tags or it will not be added
- Submitter must agree to the Terms of Service (checkbox on the form)
- Email verification after member signup is mandatory
- A separate 'Add Local USA Listing' path exists at local.exactseek.com for US local businesses
Prepare before opening the form
- Website URL with valid Title and Meta Description already in place
- Submitter name and a monitored email address
- Readiness to receive the SiteProNews newsletter (bundled consent)
Workflow
- Go to https://www.exactseek.com/add.html ('Add URL' in the nav)
- Enter URL, name, and email; tick the Terms of Service agreement
- Submit the form
- Watch for the membership/verification email and respond to it — the site is not added otherwise
- Optionally, US local businesses can use 'Add Local USA Listing' at local.exactseek.com
Watch for
- The form auto-consents you to the SiteProNews newsletter — use an email you control
- Missing Title/Meta Description on the target page silently disqualifies the submission
- Heavy upsell environment: Featured Website Listing ($14.95/3mo top-10 exposure), Rapid Search Engine Inclusion (24h), Web Traffic Program, Video Boost — none required for the free listing
- This is a general web directory/search engine, not a SaaS-specific launch — link value is modest and listing is not instant
- Also listed as part of the Jayde Online network; sister services (FreeWebSubmission, SonicRun) are cross-promoted
What counts as live
The submitted URL appears in ExactSeek search results (site: or keyword query returns the listing)
Not verified
- Time from verified submission to appearing in search results
- Whether the directory entry links dofollow to the submitted site (catalog note says follow; not confirmed on site)
- Whether the member signup requires a full account before the URL is queued
