Is CoinGecko worth it?
Our reading of the measured data, not a score.
Worth a post if its members are your customers.
CoinGecko made Google's top 10 in 1 of the 4 buyer searches we ran for the 1 business type it accepts. That's typical: directories of any kind held only 19% of the top-10 spots in those searches, so what CoinGecko offers is the people who browse it directly. A basic listing is free; paid options are sold on top. Profile links are reported nofollow, so list for customers, not for SEO links.
What works
- Showed up in Google for crypto and web3 projects, as high as #3
- The basic listing is free
- Busier than most directory sites: #145 of 1,712 by Tranco
Watch out for
- Paid upgrades are sold on top of the free listing
- Nofollow links: list for customers, not for SEO
