What we're looking for

Every article must include something readers can't get anywhere else:

  • a test or experiment you ran, with the method and the numbers
  • data from sites you manage, described without naming clients
  • a problem you solved, how you found the cause, and the fix
  • a process you use, step by step, with what went wrong along the way
  • working code for an SEO or reporting task, tested before you send it

Topics: AI search, Google updates, technical SEO, keyword research, local SEO, WordPress, APIs and automation, and the software property managers and agencies use.

What we don't publish

  • general how-to posts that repeat what the top results already say
  • articles rewritten from other sites, or written mainly by AI
  • posts whose main purpose is a link to your site
  • paid link insertions into our existing articles
  • articles published anywhere else first

Links

You can link to sources and to your own site where it genuinely helps the reader, up to two links to your own site, with plain wording rather than keyword-stuffed anchor text. We may mark links in contributed articles as nofollow or ugc, as Google recommends for content from outside writers. We never sell links in editorial articles.

How to pitch

  1. Email editor@thesearchpost.com with a subject starting “Pitch:”.
  2. Send a working headline, three to five sentences on what you'll show, and what makes it original.
  3. Include two links to things you've written before, and a one-line bio.

We reply to every pitch within five business days. If we accept, we'll edit for clarity and our house style, and you'll approve the final version before it goes live. Your article runs under your name with your bio and photo.

Companies can also sponsor an article. Sponsored posts are labeled “Sponsored” wherever they appear, meet the same editorial standards as everything else we publish, and every link in them carries rel="sponsored", as Google requires for paid links.

We also run sidebar ads in two standard sizes, a 300 x 250 box and a 300 x 600 half page, labeled “Advertisement.” To ask about either, email editor@thesearchpost.com.
