What you actually get
A dedicated review page with a genuinely dofollow outbound link, in a directory of about 260 sites with an AI-written assessment of your design and performance attached. The link is real, and so is the standing obligation: their crawler keeps checking your badge for as long as the listing exists.

How to submit to Web Review

  1. Choose a plan first
    Step 1 of 3 is the plan table. Free is $0 with a badge and a DR floor; Premium is $9 one-time with neither. Press coverage at $299 is a different product.
  2. Read the badge terms, which are stated plainly
    Choosing free opens a red panel: the badge must stay permanently, they run regular automated checks, and removal unpublishes the listing immediately with no warning.
  3. Install the badge, then verify
    Copy their snippet onto your homepage or footer, enter your URL, and click Verify. You cannot reach the form until this passes.
  4. Fill the details and publish
    Steps 2 and 3 take the listing description, up to 2,000 characters on free, then their AI writes a review of your design, performance and content.

Gotchas

The badge is a gate, not a follow-up: you cannot reach the submission form until their verifier finds it on your live site, so the deploy has to happen before the submission, not after.
The free tier turns you away under Ahrefs DR 5, which rules out exactly the new domains that most want a directory link, and the only way past it is the $9 tier.
Their crawler re-checks the badge on a schedule and pulls the listing the moment it disappears, with no warning and no grace period, so this is a permanent commitment on your homepage.

Let your agent submit to Web Review

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the Web Review 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.
