Directory launches are easy to start and surprisingly hard to measure.
You submit the same product details to a long list of directories, wait for the listings to go live, and hope the backlinks helped.
LaunchPanda already makes the submission work easier. Save your product once, then use the same profile across its directory roadmap.
Our new partnership handles the next part: showing whether those launches are building authority.
Live DR tracking inside LaunchPanda
DR now appears on LaunchPanda's browse page, account dashboard, and startup profiles. The numbers refresh daily.
That means you can follow the result where you do the work. No extra dashboard and no monthly reminder to check your score.
DR is still only the headline. Your public VerifiedDR profile also shows TrueDR and traffic validation, which help confirm whether the new links carry real trust.
An automatic VerifiedDR listing
Tools submitted through LaunchPanda are now listed on VerifiedDR automatically. You don't need to fill in another form.
The listing gives your tool a public authority profile and a backlink from day one. As more directory links go live, the profile records what they add up to.
LaunchPanda's own results
LaunchPanda used the same directory playbook on its own domain. The results are public on LaunchPanda's VerifiedDR profile.
At the time of writing, launchpanda.dev is at DR 48 after roughly three months.
A fast rise deserves a closer look. In this case, TrueDR is 41, with validated traffic, 53 referring domains, and more than 2,000 backlinks supporting the score.
That's why this partnership fits. LaunchPanda helps founders earn the links. VerifiedDR shows whether those links are turning into credible authority.
Want LaunchPanda to handle the submissions?
Auto Launch does the directory work by hand. Once the listings go live, follow your DR inside LaunchPanda and your full authority profile on VerifiedDR.
