Write for Us Guest posts and sponsored articles on property and local marketing

We are a marketing agency for local and small businesses, and the blog is where we write about the work. A guest post sits beside our own articles, under the same editing standard, so it has to be something we would be glad to have written ourselves. That bar is the same whether the article is contributed or sponsored. Paying changes the label and the links. It never changes whether a weak article runs.

The article must be unpublished: not on your own site, LinkedIn, Medium or anywhere else, before or after it runs here. It should show something only someone who did the work would know. That can be numbers from your own campaigns, anonymized if they belong to a client, a process you run, screenshots from a real account, or a mistake you made and what it cost. Generic advice that could have been written by anyone is declined.

Each article answers one question a reader would type into Google or ask an AI assistant. Answer it in the first paragraph in plain words, then spend the rest of the article on the detail, the exceptions and the steps. Headings should read like the questions people ask, so a reader can scan to the part they need.

Contributed articles and sponsored posts run from 1,200 to 2,500 words. Use short paragraphs, a heading every few hundred words, numbered steps for anything done in order, and a table wherever you compare options. Length is not the goal. An article that says everything in 1,300 words is better than one padded to 2,500.

Every statistic links to its original source: the study, the survey, the platform's own documentation or the government data, not a blog that quoted it. A figure more than two years old needs a reason to be there. Do not invent numbers, round them up or present an estimate as a measurement. We check sources before we publish, and a draft with figures we cannot trace goes back to you.

You may use AI tools to draft or edit, as long as a person who knows the subject has checked every fact, figure, quote and link, and the article contains experience no tool could supply. A draft that reads like an unedited AI answer is declined. Tell us if AI wrote a large part of it; that alone is not a reason to say no.

Write in US English, in plain words, to one reader. No hype, no clichés and no sales pitch for your own company in the body of a contributed article. We edit to our house style, which includes taking out em dashes, so do not worry about matching it exactly.

Send images you own or have the rights to use, at least 1,200 pixels wide, with a one-line description of each that we can use as alt text. Screenshots and charts from your own work are the most useful. A chart cites the data behind it. No watermarked or AI-generated images of people.

Articles about aesthetic treatments make no promises about results and give no medical advice. Any claim about what a treatment does cites a clinical or regulatory source. Write about marketing a practice, not about treating patients.

Send a bio of 40 to 60 words, written in the third person, with your name, your role, your company and the one link you want. A square headshot is optional. A contributed article is published under your name; we do not publish ghostwritten posts under a made-up author.

You give us access to the product, through a trial account, a demo or a walkthrough of the service, and we use it the way one of our readers would. We write the review and send you the draft to check for factual errors, such as a wrong feature or an outdated screenshot. You can correct facts. The opinion stays ours, because a review readers cannot trust is worth nothing to you either. If the product does not fit our readers, we tell you before anything is paid.

Sponsored posts suit software companies, service providers and agencies whose customers are the people who read this blog: property management software, leasing tools, real estate technology, roofing and contractor software, med spa booking and practice tools, and local marketing services. If your product does not serve those readers, a sponsored post will not reach the people you want, and we will tell you so.

Yes, on the same terms as everyone else: a topic in our niches, a writer with real experience of it, and an article that helps our readers. If you are writing on behalf of a client and the article exists to place a link to that client, it is a sponsored post, and it is labeled and priced as one.

No. Contributed articles are unpaid. You get a byline, an author bio, one link to your site and an article you can point clients to.

In a contributed article you can mention your product once, where it is genuinely relevant, the way you would mention any other tool. An article that is mainly about your product is a sponsored post, or a sponsored review if you want us to write it.

No. Please do not publish it anywhere else, before or after it runs here. You can share a short excerpt with a link to the full article on our blog.

It depends on how much editing the draft needs and on the publishing calendar. We give you a publishing date once the edited draft is approved, and we email you the link on the day it goes live.

We cannot promise that, and nobody honest can. A sponsored link is marked rel="sponsored", which tells Google it was paid for. What a sponsored post does give you is an article in front of property, real estate and local business readers, published with the same structure and editing as our own articles.

We tell you why in a sentence or two, usually because the topic is outside our niches or overlaps an article we already have. You are welcome to pitch again with different ideas.

Yes, by email. We correct facts, replace broken links and update figures that have changed. We do not swap a link for a different one after publishing.
