We've Partnered With VerifiedDR
LaunchPanda partnered with VerifiedDR: live Domain Rating tracking across the app, refreshed twice a week, plus an automatic high-DR backlink for your tool.
LaunchPanda is all about improving your Domain Rating through directory launches, and making those launches as easy as possible. So we're proud to announce our partnership with VerifiedDR.
Quick refresher first: Domain Rating (DR) is a score from 0 to 100 that reflects how strong your website's backlink profile is. The more quality sites linking to you, the higher your DR, and the better you tend to rank. If you want the full breakdown, read What is Domain Rating?.
What is VerifiedDR?
VerifiedDR is the authority network built around that number. It tracks your real DR (not the inflated kind), helps founders earn stronger backlinks, and proves what actually moved your rankings. They even have a stricter metric called TrueDR that layers in trust, traffic, domain age, and spam signals, so the score reflects genuine authority instead of a padded backlink count.
LaunchPanda is on there too. Our own DR is tracked on VerifiedDR just like every tool we submit, and at the time of writing it sits at 48. It got there in about three months, which you can watch play out on our live VerifiedDR profile. Curious how we did it? We broke down the exact playbook in this post.

Live DR tracking, everywhere in LaunchPanda
If you've been using LaunchPanda lately, you may have noticed DR trackers showing up all over the app. On the browse page, on your account, and on your individual startup profiles.
Here's the best part: thanks to the partnership, these numbers now refresh twice a week. So you can actually watch your Domain Rating climb over time instead of guessing.
An instant, high-quality backlink
The partnership also unlocks automated submission of your tool to VerifiedDR. No more manual submitting. Every tool gets listed automatically, earning you an instant high-quality backlink (VerifiedDR sits at 59 DR at the time of writing). It's a head start on your DR before you've even launched anywhere else.
What does VerifiedDR cost?
VerifiedDR is free to start. You can track your DR and TrueDR, browse the leaderboards, see your partnership matches, and open two new partner conversations every month at no cost. If you want more, the Pro plan is $49 per month (or two months free on annual billing) and adds 20 partner requests a month, AI visibility tracking, lost backlink recovery, spam backlink removal, competitor monitoring, and a $1,000 opportunity guarantee in your first 30 days.
