- **Canonical:** https://tools.launchllama.co/tools/launch-directories/clutch
- **Markdown twin:** https://tools.launchllama.co/directory-spokes/clutch.md
- **Directory:** Clutch (clutch.co)
- **Submit URL:** https://clutch.co
- **DR:** 91
- **Pricing:** Free
- **Category:** General Directory (#24 of 276 by DR in this category)
- **Referral traffic:** Very High
- **Backlink quality:** Weak
- **Link type:** Mixed — Company profile on clutch.co with outbound website link; vendor pages are crawlable

## Quick verdict

B2B reviews marketplace — DR 91, free to submit. Worth it for agencies and B2B service providers; skip if you cannot collect verified client reviews.

**Best for:** B2B agencies, dev shops, and SaaS vendors selling to business buyers via reviews · Teams with 5+ clients willing to leave Clutch reviews after delivery

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Claim or create a profile in days once you verify company details. Review collection and leader matrix eligibility take weeks as reviews accumulate.
- **Review:** Clutch verifies vendor claims and moderates reviews. Fake reviews, wrong categories, or incomplete profiles delay matrix placement.
- **Common rejections:** Non-business products, duplicate profiles, unverifiable companies, or review manipulation campaigns.
- **Reputation:** Clutch rewards review volume — new profiles with zero reviews get minimal referral traffic despite high DR.

## Pros

- DR 91 domain with Very High buyer-intent referral traffic
- Indexed company profile pages provide brand search lift
- Free company profile and review collection path
- Leader matrices and badges drive ongoing discovery beyond launch week

## Cons

- Review collection is slow — profiles without reviews underperform
- Paid Clutch sponsorship plans are expensive for early-stage startups
- Competitive categories require sustained review velocity vs. incumbents
- Backlink quality rated Weak — buyer traffic matters more than SEO pass-through

## What you need before you submit

- Company domain email and ability to verify business details on Clutch
- Company name, logo, description, and service or software category selection
- Portfolio case studies, client logos, and pricing or engagement model clarity
- Plan to request reviews from verified clients post-delivery
- Support contact and privacy policy URLs for profile completeness

**Gotchas:**

- Pick the exact Clutch category buyers search — miscategorization hides you from leader matrices
- Clutch reviews must come from real clients; incentivized fake reviews risk profile penalties
- Free profile alone rarely drives traffic until you have review social proof

- **Categories:** Choose primary and secondary Clutch categories matching buyer search intent — service type, industry, and company size matter.
- **Anchor text:** Company name on profile; outbound website link uses your submitted homepage URL.
- **Link placement:** Dedicated company page at clutch.co/profile/{slug} — indexed, crawlable vendor profile.

## FAQ

### Is Clutch free to list?

Yes — you can claim a free company profile and collect reviews. Clutch sells paid plans for analytics, ads, and leader matrix promotion, but basic listing does not require payment.

### How long does Clutch approval take?

Company verification and profile setup typically complete within days. Meaningful leader matrix visibility and referral traffic usually require weeks of legitimate review collection.

### How is Clutch different from G2?

Both are B2B review marketplaces. Clutch skews toward agencies and service providers; G2 focuses more on software product comparisons. Many B2B vendors maintain profiles on both.

### Does Clutch give dofollow backlinks?

Clutch company pages include crawlable links to your site on DR 91. We rate backlink quality Weak — value is buyer referral traffic plus brand search, not guaranteed dofollow on every field.
