What you actually get
A page at /item/<domain> that publishes the moment verification passes, with a followed Visit link carrying only rel=noopener noreferrer and a rank on their live Domain Rating leaderboard. The badge they hand back renders your current Ahrefs DR, so it is a number on your own site that changes without you.

How to submit to Boost Domain Rating

  1. Sign in
    Google, GitHub or email.
  2. Fetch
    Type the domain and press Fetch. It fills the name, description and logo from your site in one press, and reads your DR.
  3. Correct what it wrote
    Fetch puts your page title in the name field, so it needs trimming back to the brand. There is a directory site checkbox worth ticking if you are one.
  4. Badge and submit
    A badge builder with style, colour, icon, shape and text options, then Verify Backlink. Submit publishes the listing straight away.

Gotchas

Their Fetch button writes your page title into the name field, so a listing published straight after pressing it carries the title rather than the brand.
The badge is generated from your live Ahrefs DR rather than being a static image, so what it shows on your site changes on its own as the number moves.
The listing page carries a Boost My DR upsell at $30 next to your own entry, which buys promotion rather than the listing you already have.
Verification gates the submit and there is no paid alternative, so the badge is the only way in rather than the cheap one.

Let your agent submit to Boost Domain Rating

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the Boost Domain Rating playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.
