What We Look For

We prioritize "Expert-Led" content. We aren't looking for generic SEO filler; we want articles that solve problems, explain complex industries, or provide data-backed insights.  

  • Length & Depth: Minimum 1,000 words. We prefer comprehensive guides that cover a topic from A to Z.
  • Originality: Content must be 100% unique and pass Copyscape. We do not accept AI-generated "fluff" without significant human editing and unique insights.
  • Formatting: Use clear headings (H2, H3), short paragraphs, and bullet points to make the content skimmable and user-friendly.
  • Tone: Professional, educational, and authoritative.

Link Policy & Authority

We allow one do-follow link to your website within the body of the content, provided the link is contextually relevant and adds value to the reader.

To see an example of the quality and technical optimization we expect, please review our Manuka Honey Grading Guide. This page demonstrates the ideal balance of user utility and authoritative sourcing that we look for in guest submissions.
