Write for Us

We accept genuinely useful guest contributions from writers with real experience in SEO, digital marketing, web development, or small business growth. If you have something worth saying, not a thinly disguised pitch for your own service, we’re interested in hearing from you.

What We’re Actually Looking For

Original, well-researched articles that teach readers something specific and actionable, not generic advice that could apply to any blog in any industry. We prefer pieces grounded in real experience, a genuine case study, a specific technical explanation, an honest breakdown of a strategy that worked or didn’t, over broad, surface-level overviews that don’t add anything beyond what’s already published elsewhere.

Topics We Publish

SEO and search marketing strategy, link building and backlink analysis, local SEO and Google Business Profile optimization, technical SEO and website performance, content strategy for search visibility, and increasingly, how AI search tools and answer engines are changing how businesses get found online. If your expertise sits in one of these areas, we want to hear your pitch.

Our Editorial Standards

Every submission goes through genuine editorial review, not just a spam filter. We check for original insight rather than rehashed general knowledge, accurate, verifiable claims rather than vague statistics without sourcing, and a tone that respects the reader’s time and intelligence rather than padding word count to hit an arbitrary target. We also enforce the same standard we hold ourselves to: no AI-generated fluff, no corporate buzzword filler, write like you’re explaining something to a smart friend, not drafting a press release.

What You Get in Return

A byline and author bio with a link back to your own website or profile, published on a real, active site with genuine readership, not a link farm built purely to host guest contributions. We’re selective specifically because that selectivity is what keeps this a genuinely valuable placement rather than just another disposable guest post slot.

How to Submit a Pitch

Send us a brief outline or a short pitch describing your proposed article, your relevant background or experience, and one or two writing samples if you have them. We review pitches personally rather than using an automated acceptance system, so expect a genuine, specific response rather than a form rejection with no explanation.

What Will Get Your Pitch Rejected

Generic, recycled content clearly written to include a link rather than genuinely inform readers, unverified claims or statistics without real sourcing, and pitches that read as thinly-veiled advertising for your own service rather than genuinely useful, independent content.

Building an Ongoing Writing Relationship

If your first contribution goes well, we’re open to an ongoing arrangement rather than treating every submission as a one-time transaction. Writers who consistently deliver genuinely useful, well-researched content are exactly who we want contributing regularly, not just once.

What Happens After You Submit

We review submissions in the order received, and while we can’t guarantee a specific turnaround time given submission volume, we respond to every genuine pitch rather than leaving writers wondering whether their submission disappeared into silence.

What Makes a Pitch Stand Out

A clear, specific angle beats a broad topic every time. “Why local SEO citation consistency matters more than most businesses realize” is a stronger pitch than a generic “SEO tips for small business,” since it signals you have something specific and non-obvious to say rather than a topic anyone could write about generically.

We Also Accept Data-Driven or Case Study Pieces

If you’ve run a genuine experiment, analyzed real data, or have a documented case study with verifiable results, these tend to be some of our strongest-performing contributions, since they offer readers something concrete rather than general advice they’ve likely read elsewhere.

A Final Note

We read every submission personally rather than using an automated filter, which means genuine, thoughtful pitches get a genuine, thoughtful response, even when the answer is that a particular topic doesn’t quite fit our current content plan.

Formatting and Submission Guidelines

Plain text or a shared document works fine for your initial pitch, no need for polished formatting at the pitch stage. Once accepted, we’ll work with you on headers, structure, and any images needed before publishing. Include any relevant data sources or links you plan to reference so we can verify claims during editorial review.

What Happens to Rejected Pitches

If a pitch doesn’t fit our current content plan, we’ll tell you honestly rather than leaving you without an answer. A rejection here doesn’t mean the idea is bad, sometimes it just means we recently published something similar or it doesn’t match what our readers are currently searching for.

Examples of Strong Past Contributions

The submissions that perform best tend to walk through one specific, documented experience in detail rather than covering a broad topic shallowly, a real technical fix that solved a measurable problem, a specific campaign breakdown with honest results including what didn’t work. Specificity is consistently what separates a memorable guest post from a forgettable one.

Do You Accept Translated or Multilingual Submissions?

If your expertise is strongest in a language other than English, mention this in your pitch. We occasionally publish translated or multilingual pieces where it genuinely serves our international readership, on a case-by-case basis.

Response Time for Pitch Reviews

We aim to respond to genuine pitches within a reasonable window, though volume varies. If you haven’t heard back after a couple of weeks, a polite follow-up is completely fine and won’t hurt your chances.

A Last Word for First-Time Contributors

If this is your first guest pitch anywhere, don’t let that hold you back, a genuine, specific idea matters more to us than a long publishing history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you pay for guest contributions?

Currently, we offer a byline and backlink rather than monetary payment. If that arrangement doesn’t work for your situation, we understand, and we’re happy to consider other collaboration ideas if you have one in mind.

How long should a submission be?

Substantial enough to genuinely cover the topic, generally 1,000 words or more, though we’d rather receive a focused 1,000-word piece with real substance than a padded 2,000-word article stretched to hit a number.

Can I include more than one link back to my own site?

One contextual, relevant link within the content plus your author bio link is standard. Excessive self-promotional linking will get edited or the pitch declined.
