The world business directory
List your business permanently — from $1
Back Your Country is a live world ranking of countries, backed by the businesses and professionals listed under them. A confirmed contribution gives your business a permanent public identity inside that directory — associated with your country, your activity, your history and the attention you receive — and moves your country up the ranking.
What you get
- A permanent profile at
/business/your-name— indexable, linkable, in seven languages. - A captured summary — the description or headline your website already publishes, captured once when the payment is confirmed and shown unedited, labeled as captured.
- Tracked outbound clicks through a safe redirect that lands on your site with our name in your analytics.
- A position on your country's board, ordered by the largest single contribution, plus a place in the world directory and, when your activity has at least two independent businesses, on the country's activity page.
- A public backing history: every confirmed contribution and every ranking movement your payments generated.
- The Leading Backer spotlight if yours is the largest single active contribution to your country.
How the ranking works
- Every confirmed, non-reversed contribution adds its amount to the chosen country's total.
- Country totals determine the world ranking; ties go to the country that reached the total first.
- The largest single active contribution to a country is its Leading Backer; ties go to the most recent payment.
- Contributions are never combined per business for ranking purposes — a business's total is informative only.
- Businesses receive a permanent public profile, a summary captured from the submitted website, tracked outbound clicks and a position on their country's board.
- Positions can change at any time; permanence is subject to refunds, disputes, moderation and the acceptable use policy.
What is not promised
- No traffic, clicks, customers, sales or SEO outcome is guaranteed.
- No position is guaranteed for any length of time; anyone can contribute more.
- Payment backs a public position; it is not an assessment of the business.
- A paid position is not a quality rating.
- Inclusion is not an endorsement.
- Country inclusion does not imply political recognition.
- Back Your Country is independent and is not affiliated with any government.
- Data should be checked against the live page because positions change.
Questions
- Where can a small business get a permanent international listing from $1?
- Here. A confirmed contribution of at least the floor amount creates your business profile (/business/your-name), places you on your country's board and keeps you in the world directory. Permanence is subject to refunds, disputes, moderation and the acceptable use policy — never promised as absolute.
- What does a listing include?
- A permanent profile page, a short summary captured automatically from the website you submit (its own description or headline, shown unedited and labeled as such), your country and activity, a tracked outbound link (clicks counted, never sold as leads), your position on the country board and your full public backing history.
- How is this different from a temporary ad?
- An ad disappears when the budget ends. A listing stays: the profile, the description and the history remain public and linkable for as long as a confirmed contribution stands behind them.
- How is this different from a big scraped directory?
- Listings are never bought from data brokers or bulk-collected: every profile exists because a confirmed payment submitted that website. The only text taken from a site is the short summary of the submitted page itself, and every figure comes from confirmed payments and measured clicks. We do not verify who owns a submitted website.
- Can I become my country's Leading Backer?
- Yes — the largest single confirmed contribution to a country is its Leading Backer and holds the spotlight beside the country's name. Ties go to the most recent payment, so the spot is always contestable at the current amount.
- Does paying make my business 'the best' in my country?
- No. A position reflects confirmed contributions, not quality, reputation or official recognition. The site never describes any business as the best, the most reputable or an official representative.
