FAQ
Is it free to list my tool?

Yes, completely free. Listing, re-auditing, and updating your tool information costs nothing. The directory is a community resource.

How is the SEO score calculated?

SEOVentra runs a full technical audit on your website — the same 40+ check engine used in the SEO management platform. The score reflects meta tags, structured data, canonicals, broken links, speed signals, and more.

How do I update my listing after approval?

Log into your SEOVentra account and go to your maker profile. You can edit your tagline, category, pricing, and logo at any time. Changes go live immediately without re-review.

What categories are available?

Keyword Research, Technical SEO, AI Writing, Backlink Tools, Rank Tracking, Link Building, Schema, Indexing, Analytics, Dev Tools, Design Tools, Finance Tools, Hiring Tools, and Other.

Can I list multiple tools?

Yes — each tool gets its own listing. Submit each one separately. Multiple listings from the same maker are allowed and common.

What makes a listing get "Featured" status?

Featured status is given to tools that have a high upvote count, a strong SEO score (75+), and an active maker who engages with comments. It's editorial, not paid.
