Question 1

How does Startup Spotlight work?

Accepted Answer

Startup Spotlight is a pay-to-rank leaderboard for micro-startups. You submit your startup and pay any amount starting from $9. The more you pay, the higher your startup ranks on the leaderboard. Every listing receives a permanent do-follow SEO backlink and a verified badge you can embed on your site.

Question 2

What do I get when I submit my startup?

Every submission includes: a public listing on the Startup Spotlight leaderboard, a do-follow SEO backlink to your website, a verified badge you can embed on your own site, and a leaderboard ranking based on your total investment.

Question 3

How much does it cost to list my startup?

Accepted Answer

Listings start from $9. You can top up your listing at any time to increase your ranking. There is no subscription — it's a one-time or recurring payment entirely at your discretion.

Question 4

Can I improve my ranking after submitting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After submitting, you can top up your listing from your dashboard at any time. Additional payments are added to your total score, moving you higher on the leaderboard.

Question 5

What is a do-follow backlink?

Accepted Answer

A do-follow backlink is a hyperlink that passes SEO authority from one site to another. Your Startup Spotlight listing links to your website with rel='dofollow', which can help improve your site's search engine ranking.
