What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for general web directories.
- Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
- A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
- Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
- 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
- The exact page you want the link to point to
- Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
- Consistent business name, URL and contact details (use them the same way everywhere)
- The most specific category the directory offers
- A plain description with no keyword stuffing
- A business address or country, if the form asks
Is European Alternatives worth it?
Good for your SEO foundation
European Alternatives reviews listings by hand and the listing link we inspected was followed. That combination is what makes a directory link worth having for a new site.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 73 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #151,625: a mid-sized site, inside the top 500,000.
- A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
- Free to list, so the only cost is your time.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
