Free directory gate planner
Directory backlink requirement checker
Decide whether an AI directory can be submitted without adding a badge, partner-page link, footer link, or proof link to TrafficWins.
- Separate no-backlink free listings from badge farms and paid-bypass traps.
- Mark backlink-required forms blocked instead of creating a proof URL.
- Turn each acceptable no-backlink path into a tracked launch-queue action with review state.

Directory submit or skip decision
Offer to audit: AI SEO blog writer for lean marketing teams.
Backlink proof: list source domains, link relevance, placement type, network dependency, replacement policy, and approval owner.
Directory gate check: identify whether the listing requires a badge, homepage/footer link, partner-page link, screenshot proof, or paid no-badge bypass.
Decision: skip any directory path that asks TrafficWins to add a badge, backlink, footer link, partner-page link, acknowledgement link, or proof link.
Autopublish proof: require draft preview, source facts, images, internal links, metadata, rollback path, and publish approval.
TrafficWins safer path: use owned source-backed articles first; treat backlinks, Reddit, and citation tracking as inspected distribution, not black-box autopilot.
