Awesome Indie: Submission Guide, Domain Rating & Alternatives
Awesome Indie (awesomeindie.com) is a startup profile site with a Domain Rating of 37, ranking 65 of 119 among startup directories and 314 of 508 overall. That is close to the 41 median for this category.
Its outbound links are nofollow, so a listing will not pass authority to your domain. The value here is referral traffic and the brand mention, not SEO. Authority is moderate, so submit it as part of a batch rather than as a priority on its own.

How to submit to Awesome Indie
- Open awesomeindie.com and look for the submit, add product, or get listed link, usually in the header or footer.
- Have your assets ready before you start: a one-line pitch, a longer description, a logo, and two or three screenshots. Most rejections are for incomplete listings, not bad products.
- Write the description for this directory specifically. Pasting the same paragraph everywhere is the single clearest signal of a low-effort submission, both to moderators and to search engines.
- Awesome Indie uses nofollow links, so optimise for the click rather than the link: lead with the benefit, not the keyword.
- Record where and when you submitted. Approval on directories at this authority level can take days to weeks, and you will want to follow up.
