Running a B2B lead generation agency leaves little time for filling out directory forms. That was the problem at Artemis Leads: the team knew that relevant profiles could strengthen its online footprint, but researching platforms, adapting company information, submitting listings, and tracking approvals had become a job of its own.
ListingBott took over that process. Instead of pushing Artemis Leads to hundreds of random sites at once, the campaign built a gradual mix of agency marketplaces, startup databases, business profiles, and product-discovery pages.
In his public review, founder Silvio Bonomi said the gradual workflow mattered, the team could review which directories were a fit, and the business saw more inbound leads plus new discovery through LLMs.
The result in brief

A service built around trust needed a stronger public footprint
Artemis Leads manages outbound sales campaigns for B2B companies. It identifies suitable prospects, builds targeted lists, writes personalized messages, and reaches decision-makers through cold email and LinkedIn. The promise on its homepage is concise: “Focus on Closing, not Prospecting.”
This is a service people research before they buy. A potential customer may discover the agency through a recommendation and then search for its name, compare it with other providers, inspect past results, and check whether the business appears credible outside its own website.
Artemis Leads already had the most important foundation: a clear offer and a website filled with real proof. Its Wall of Results shows testimonials and detailed client outcomes. The missing piece was distribution. The company needed more relevant places where prospects, search engines, and AI systems could encounter the brand and understand what it did.
The manual approach had become a poor use of time
Submitting a company to one directory looks easy. Doing it properly across dozens of platforms is not.
Each site uses different categories and fields. Some are built for agencies, some for startups, and others for software or local businesses. The team still has to decide whether a site fits, prepare the right description, supply assets, submit the profile, respond to extra requirements, and remember where everything was published.
Artemis Leads had started doing this work manually. It soon became repetitive enough to compete with work that mattered more to the business.
As founder Silvio Bonomi put it in his public review:
“I was doing it manually, but it was taking way too much time.”
The obvious shortcut would have been an indiscriminate bulk submission. Artemis Leads did not want that either. The team wanted to see the available opportunities and retain control over where the company appeared.
What ListingBott changed
ListingBott turned the work into a managed directory submission service for websites.
Artemis Leads provided the core information once: its positioning, services, audience, location, website, brand assets, and social profiles. ListingBott then matched the company with relevant opportunities, prepared the submissions, and released them over time.
The gradual rollout was important. It let Artemis Leads review potential placements instead of accepting a list of unrelated sites simply to increase the submission count. It also matched the reality of directory work: different platforms have different approval rules and publishing timelines.
The result was not one type of listing repeated many times. The campaign created several kinds of discovery surface, each serving a different purpose.
Examples of live Artemis Leads listings
The profiles below are examples from the campaign, not its complete placement list.
Artemis Leads on Sortlist
Sortlist: visibility where companies compare agencies
Artemis Leads on Sortlist is one of the strongest commercial placements in the campaign because Sortlist is built around finding and comparing service providers.
The profile does more than repeat the company name. It presents Artemis Leads as a Barcelona agency, explains its outbound offer, displays portfolio work, and associates the business with services such as email marketing, growth marketing, market research, copywriting, and lead qualification.
Artemis Leads also appears on relevant Sortlist category pages, including searches for outbound mailing and email marketing agencies in Spain. That creates a plausible buyer journey: a company searching for an agency can encounter Artemis Leads before knowing the brand exists.
Artemis Leads on SEM Firms
SEM Firms: a category-specific agency listing
The Artemis Leads profile on SEM Firms places the company in a directory focused on marketing and business-service providers. Artemis Leads also appears in SEM Firms' list of B2B service agencies in Spain.
This is a more relevant context than a generic company index. The page connects the brand with the category in which it actually competes: outsourced B2B growth and lead generation.
Artemis Leads on EU-Startups
EU-Startups: European startup and location context
The EU-Startups profile establishes several basic facts in one independent source: Artemis Leads is active, based in Barcelona, founded in 2024, and associated with SaaS, B2B, and agency categories.
For someone researching the company, that page provides third-party confirmation of its identity and market. For search and AI systems, it is another crawlable source connecting the Artemis Leads brand with Barcelona and B2B lead generation.
Artemis Leads on Built In
Built In: a company profile inside the technology ecosystem
Built In's Artemis Leads company page describes the business as a Barcelona-based agency and explains how its managed outbound campaigns help clients reach decision-makers.
Built In is not a dedicated lead generation directory. Its value is different: it gives Artemis Leads a company profile in a wider technology and employment ecosystem, broadening the set of places where the brand can be found and checked.
Artemis Leads on Startupxplore
Startupxplore: startup ecosystem visibility
The Artemis Leads profile on Startupxplore introduces the company to a startup-focused audience. It explains that Artemis Leads handles the complete outbound process for startups, scale-ups, agencies, and service providers.
That audience fit matters. Early-stage companies often need sales capacity before they are ready to build a full internal team, which makes the Artemis Leads offer relevant to people browsing a startup ecosystem.
Artemis Leads on SaaSHub
SaaSHub: a structured discovery profile
The SaaSHub page for Artemis Leads organizes the company under lead generation, lead acquisition, sales and marketing, and related categories. It also includes a direct link to the Artemis Leads website and structured questions about the company, audience, and positioning.
Not every detail on a third-party profile will be equally valuable, and businesses should periodically review public listings for accuracy. Still, this kind of structured page gives both buyers and machines another way to connect the company name with the problem it solves.
Artemis Leads on Tech Directory
Tech Directory: professional-services coverage
The Tech Directory profile adds another professional-services page to the mix. On its own, this would not define the campaign. Alongside the agency, startup, and company profiles above, it contributes to a broader and more varied footprint.
The backlink profile became substantially stronger
One measurable signal the customer later pointed to was Ahrefs Domain Rating.
In his public review, Silvio said Artemis Leads moved from DR 1 to 34 in less than a year. The exact reading of third-party metrics can vary by date and tool refresh, but the directional point is clear: the company's backlink profile became materially stronger over time.
Domain Rating measures the relative strength of a site's backlink profile. It is not a Google ranking factor, and a higher DR does not automatically produce customers. In this case, it shows that Artemis Leads ended the period with a materially stronger backlink profile than it had at the start.
That distinction is important. A directory campaign should not be judged only by how many forms were submitted. The useful questions are whether relevant profiles became public, whether they accurately represented the company, whether the website gained legitimate referring domains, and whether discovery improved beyond the link metric itself.
The outcome went beyond DR
Artemis Leads' feedback was not limited to the Ahrefs number. Silvio said the company was receiving more inbound leads and added:
“I'm getting more inbound leads than ever, especially from LLMs.”
That is the customer's observation, not a controlled attribution study. An inbound lead can encounter a company through many touchpoints: its own content, a directory profile, a review, a referral, a search result, or an AI-generated answer combining several sources.
What the campaign clearly changed was the number and variety of public pages describing Artemis Leads. The brand was no longer represented only by artemisleads.com. It also appeared in agency comparisons, startup databases, company profiles, and professional-service directories.
That wider footprint is useful for both traditional search and AI discovery because the same core facts recur across independent sources:
- Artemis Leads is a B2B lead generation agency;
- it is based in Barcelona;
- it uses cold email and LinkedIn outreach;
- it works with startups, agencies, SaaS companies, and other B2B businesses;
- its service helps clients generate qualified sales opportunities without building an internal prospecting team.
Repetition alone does not guarantee an LLM mention. But clear, consistent facts across relevant public sources make a company easier to identify and understand than a brand that exists only on its own domain.
Artemis Leads Campaign
Why this campaign was stronger than a list of random backlinks
The best part of the Artemis Leads campaign was not any single directory. It was the mix.
- Buyer-intent platforms: Sortlist and SEM Firms placed Artemis Leads near people actively comparing agencies or B2B service providers.
- Startup context: EU-Startups and Startupxplore connected the company with Barcelona, entrepreneurship, SaaS, and early-stage business audiences.
- Company verification: Built In added an established third-party company profile in the technology ecosystem.
- Structured discovery: SaaSHub and Tech Directory created additional categorized pages that explained the offer and linked back to the business.
This is more useful than counting every listing as if all directories were identical. A niche agency profile can contribute direct discovery. A startup database can reinforce the company's identity. A broader business page may contribute another referring domain. The value and purpose differ by platform.
Unveiling Artemis Leads` B2B Agency Strategies
What other B2B agencies can learn from Artemis Leads
Start with a clear offer
Artemis Leads already knew what it sold, whom it served, and how to explain the result. Directory distribution amplified that positioning; it did not invent it.
Build several kinds of visibility
Do not rely only on generic business directories. Combine category-specific marketplaces, regional startup databases, company profiles, and relevant discovery platforms. The strongest opportunity may be the one closest to the buyer, not the one with the largest headline authority metric. That is also why a mix of startup directories and broader free business listing sites usually works better than relying on one directory type alone.
Review placements before they go live
Silvio specifically valued being able to choose which directories made sense. That quality-control step protects the brand and keeps the campaign focused on relevance.
Keep the rollout manageable
A gradual campaign is easier to review, track, and correct than a one-day bulk submission. It also gives the company time to improve descriptions and assets as it learns which profiles are most useful.
Measure more than DR
Track new referring domains and DR, but do not stop there. Watch branded searches, referral traffic, assisted conversions, qualified inquiries, and mentions in AI answers. DR describes the backlink profile; it does not describe the whole business outcome.
A distribution layer, not a shortcut
ListingBott did not create the Artemis Leads offer, write its customer results, or replace its broader marketing. The agency already had a credible service and strong proof on its own website.
What ListingBott added was distribution: a managed way to place that business in more of the environments where customers and discovery systems look for information.
For Artemis Leads, that meant less time spent on manual submissions, live profiles across several relevant ecosystems, and a broader public footprint that supported stronger discovery.
If your website has a clear offer but too little third-party coverage, see how ListingBott's directory submission service works.
Results vary by website, starting point, market, approved targets, and other marketing activity. ListingBott does not guarantee a particular Domain Rating, ranking, traffic level, AI citation, or number of leads.
