Conditional free route
directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

## What the free route requires

- Free plan requires placing a Wired Business badge/backlink on your homepage or footer
- Free listings are reviewed and listed within 72 hours
- Pro ($29 one-time, advertised 30% off with code FROGDR → $20.30) publishes instantly, is permanent, and needs no reciprocal backlink

## Requirements

- A live website to list — directory advertises a 'permanent DR 77 dofollow backlink'
- Free tier requires the badge/backlink placed before the 72-hour review completes
- Same operator network as Ramen Tools, 500 Tools, Twelve Tools (linked in the footer)

## Prepare before opening the form

- Product name, URL, description, and category
- Ability to add the Wired Business badge/backlink to the site's homepage or footer (free route)
- Choose the screenshot to represent the site (editable later via the edit link)

## Workflow

1. Open wired.business/submit and choose Free ('Continue') or Pro ('?plan=paid')
2. Fill in website details and submit
3. Free path: add the badge/backlink to the site, wait up to 72h for review and the 'website is live' email
4. Pro path: pay one-time $29; listing publishes immediately
5. Keep the edit link from the confirmation email for future updates

## Watch for

- The badge/backlink requirement is the price of the free tier — removing it presumably voids the listing
- Reciprocal-badge directories are link schemes in Google's eyes; weigh the DR77 dofollow claim accordingly
- Edit link arrives only via the confirmation email/success page — save it
- Part of a cluster of near-identical directories (Ramen/500/Twelve Tools) — submissions may be cross-posted

## What counts as live

The listing appears publicly on wired.business (category page) and a 'your website is live' confirmation email arrives

## Not verified

- Whether the free link is actually dofollow as advertised once live
- Rejection criteria during the 72-hour review
- What happens to free listings if the badge is later removed
