Questions about backlink sites for small businesses

Do I need to pay an SEO agency for this?

No. Almost everything here can be done by the owner with a free account. Pay only for a listing that has already sent you customers.

Where should a small business start?

Start with the free, quick listings at the top of this list: they are sorted best first. Then work down to the slower ones (articles, reviews, launches), which take longer and usually count for more. A few listings a week, kept up, does more than a hundred in one day.

Backlink sites by goal

The same directory cut another way, or every kind of site with how many places each one holds.
