Guest Posts
Original, editorially-vetted articles placed on real DR40+ publications in your niche. Every guest post is hand-pitched to publishers we've vetted for traffic, relevance, and editorial standards - no link networks, no auto-approved blogs.
Guest posts in 2026 look nothing like the 2015 link-farm pitch. The bar moved: publishers vet sources, Google reads page-level engagement and topical signals, and a single low-quality placement can taint the rest of your link profile. The links that still move rankings are the ones that look like editorial coverage - because that is what they are.
We hand-pitch every placement to publishers we have vetted on three axes: real organic traffic (no zombie domains coasting on legacy DR), genuine niche relevance (no off-topic lifestyle blogs), and editorial standards strict enough to say no to obvious content marketing. Every article is original, written for that publication's audience, and signed off by you before it ships to the editor.
What you get is a placement that compounds - picked up by your target keywords, citation-worthy for journalists who land on it later, and durable enough that you do not have to rebuild the link in eighteen months. We track every anchor, every host metric, and the indexing curve so you can see what each link is actually doing for you, not just where it sits.
From your brief to a live, indexed link
Anchors planned, authority compounding
Safe anchor distribution
Exact-match stays in safe bands - branded and partial carry the weight, so the campaign math holds at month six instead of tripping a filter.

Is this the right fit?
We are deliberate about who we take on - it is how the quality bar holds.
- B2B SaaS targeting commercial keywords with established product pages
- Ecommerce stores with category and comparison pages that need authority
- Content-led marketing teams already publishing weekly
- Established brands lifting topical authority in a new vertical
- Sites less than six months old with no on-page content baseline
- Buyers expecting 50 placements in seven days at scale
- Anyone shopping at PBN/link-farm pricing ($30-80 per link)
- Regulated verticals (gambling, CBD, adult) without compliance review

What's included
Every engagement ships with these as standard.
DR40+ minimum, often higher
Every placement meets a strict DR floor with verified organic traffic. Premium tier targets DR70+ outlets with sustained ranking history.
Niche-relevant publishers
We match topics to publications that already cover your space. No generic lifestyle blogs, no off-topic placements just to fill a slot.
Original, on-brief content
Articles are written specifically for your link, your topic, and the host's editorial voice. You approve the draft before it reaches the publisher's editor.
Contextual link, managed anchor
Your link is placed inside the body of the article using anchor text from the campaign mix - exact, partial, branded, or naked URL as the math requires.
Pre-pitch publisher visibility
You see the candidate publisher list before a single pitch goes out. Veto any name without explanation; no pitches go to sites you do not approve.
12-month replacement guarantee
If a placement is removed, deindexed, or moves to nofollow inside the first year, we replace it on a comparable publication at no cost.
The details that decide the outcome
Publisher diligence beyond DR
DR is gameable. We additionally check Ahrefs traffic trend, top-pages distribution, content recency, outbound link patterns, and sponsored-content disclosure. Sites that look DR50 but earn 200 visits a month never make our list.
Anchor mix is a calendar, not a guess
We model your existing anchor profile, your niche's natural distribution, and Google's tolerance bands - then plan anchor types per placement so the campaign math holds at month six instead of triggering a filter.
Content quality bar
Original 1,000+ word drafts from writers we have trained on your niche - not a pool of generalist freelancers. Editor pass on every draft before it leaves the building.
We say no to placements you would want
Sometimes a publisher accepts us but the only viable topic angle is contrived. We would rather lose the slot than ship a placement that reads like SEO fodder.

No. Every placement is on a real, independent publication with its own organic traffic and editorial standards. We do not work with link networks, recycled domains, or auto-approval marketplaces of any kind.
Yes. Every link is dofollow unless the publisher's editorial policy requires otherwise - in which case we surface that before charging you, and you can decline the placement.
Indefinitely. If a placement is removed, deindexed, or converted to nofollow within 12 months, we replace it on a comparable publication at no cost. After 12 months the replacement guarantee ends, but most placements stay live for years.
Yes. We share a vetted prospect list for approval before any outreach goes out - particularly important for retainer clients managing brand exposure across many sites.
We use Ahrefs DR as the primary signal, cross-reference Semrush authority and Moz DA, and overlay organic traffic from Ahrefs and Similarweb. A site has to clear all four checks - not just one - to enter the prospect pool.
Branded, partial-match, naked URL, and exact-match in a distribution we design per campaign. Exact-match typically sits at 5-8% of campaign anchors; branded and partial-match carry the majority. We never let a single anchor over-index.
We avoid double-dipping inside a six-month window for the same client. Publisher concentration is a risk signal - your link profile should look diverse, not like a relationship with five blogs.
PR agencies pitch news and stories; the link is a byproduct, often nofollow. We pitch contributed editorial content with the link as the deliverable - same publishers in many cases, but a different transaction and a more predictable outcome.
