Editorial Guidelines

LinkVault is a curated directory. These standards keep the index trustworthy for visitors, Google, and AI search engines that cite our pages.

Quality bar

Submitted sites must be live, load on first request, have a clear primary purpose, and be free of malware. Doorway pages, expired domains, and PBNs are rejected.

Category placement

Each listing must be placed in the single most-relevant category. Mis-categorized listings are moved or removed during periodic sweeps.

Anti-spam

Bulk submissions, scraped descriptions, exact-match anchor stuffing, and submissions from disposable email addresses are removed without notice. We rate-limit per IP and per domain.

Dofollow link integrity

Every approved outbound link uses a plain href with no rel="nofollow", rel="sponsored", or JavaScript redirect. Links are rendered in static HTML so Googlebot and AI crawlers can follow them on first fetch.

Removal process

Site owners can request removal at any time by emailing hello@bookedav.com from a domain-matching account. Removals are completed within 48 hours and the URL is dropped from the next sitemap regeneration.

Conflicts and corrections

If you believe a listing misrepresents your business, send the corrected text and we will update or remove the entry. Material corrections are reflected in the page's lastmod timestamp.
