Question 1

How are tools ranked?

Accepted Answer

There is no single ranking — pick the metric that matters: monthly traffic, domain rating (DR), traffic growth rate, user rating, or total reviews. The leaderboard re-sorts on each click. Default view sorts by monthly traffic.

Question 2

Why is traffic the default ranking signal?

Accepted Answer

Traffic is the cleanest proxy for actual adoption. Domain rating measures backlink authority, growth rate captures velocity, but raw traffic tells you which tools real users are actually choosing — without filtering by buyer-persona or use-case.

Question 3

How often does the leaderboard update?

Accepted Answer

Traffic and DR signals refresh daily. New tools enter the leaderboard once they're published in the directory. Editorial pricing and feature data are reviewed quarterly.

Question 4

Can I see rankings for a specific category?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every category page (e.g. /category/ai-seo-tools/) has its own leaderboard scoped to that category, with the same sortable metrics. The /rankings/ page is a global view across the full directory.
