EDITORIAL SUPPORT

Our team polishes your draft so it ranks and reads well — sharpening structure and SEO without rewriting your voice.

🏆

BUILT TO RANK

Every page here is engineered for search. Your evergreen piece keeps pulling traffic and clicks long after it goes live.

TOPICS WE ACCEPT

LOCAL SEO, SEO & GOOGLE ADS ARE OUR TOP PRIORITY. We also love sharp, experience-led pieces for contractors, HVAC, and roofing companies.

01

LOCAL SEO

PRIORITY

Local SEO "Write For Us"

This is our home turf and our most-read category. We want deeply practical pieces on Google Business Profile optimization, the local map pack, citation building, NAP consistency, review generation, geo-grid rank tracking, service-area pages, and multi-location SEO. If you've actually moved a business into the 3-pack — or out of a Google suspension — we want that story.

Example angles

  • How to win the Google Map Pack in a competitive metro
  • Citation strategies that genuinely move local rankings
  • Recovering a suspended or filtered Google Business Profile
  • Building local landing pages that rank AND convert
02

SEO

PRIORITY

SEO "Write For Us"

On-page, technical, and content-driven SEO for businesses that live and die by organic traffic. Think keyword research, topic clusters, internal linking, Core Web Vitals, schema, E-E-A-T, crawl budget, and surviving algorithm updates. We favor data-backed, experience-led articles over recycled 'SEO basics' that already exist a thousand times online.

Example angles

  • A technical SEO audit checklist for small-business sites
  • Topic clusters and internal linking done right
  • Recovering organic traffic after a core update
  • Schema markup that actually earns rich results
03

GOOGLE ADS & PPC

PRIORITY

Google Ads "Write For Us"

Paid search that drives real phone calls, not vanity clicks. We're looking for Google Ads, Local Services Ads (LSA), Performance Max, conversion tracking, bidding strategy, negative keywords, and landing-page optimization — written for service businesses that measure success in booked jobs and cost-per-lead.

Example angles

  • Local Services Ads vs Google Ads for contractors
  • Cutting wasted ad spend with negative keyword sculpting
  • Landing pages that lower your cost per lead
  • Setting up call tracking that proves ROI
04

CONTRACTORS

NICHE

Contractors "Write For Us"

Marketing for general contractors, remodelers, painters, plumbers, electricians, and the trades. Lead generation systems, branding, reputation management, referral engines, and seasonal campaigns. If it helps a contractor book more jobs and stop relying on word-of-mouth, it belongs here.

Example angles

  • Lead-generation systems that keep the pipeline full
  • Turning reviews into a referral machine
  • Seasonal marketing calendars for the trades
05

HVAC MARKETING

NICHE

HVAC "Write For Us"

Demand generation and seasonal strategy built for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning companies. Off-season booking, tune-up campaigns, service-area SEO, maintenance-plan funnels, and paid media tuned to the brutal swings of the HVAC calendar.

Example angles

  • Booking more installs during the slow season
  • HVAC service-area pages that rank city by city
  • Maintenance-plan funnels that smooth out cash flow
06

ROOFERS & ROOFING

NICHE

Roofers "Write For Us"

Storm-response marketing, insurance-claim funnels, local SEO, and high-intent lead generation for roofing contractors and exterior remodelers. We want ethical, effective playbooks — not spammy storm-chasing — that turn estimates into signed jobs.

Example angles

  • Ethical storm-response lead generation that converts
  • Ranking for 'roof replacement near me'
  • Roofing PPC funnels from estimate to signed contract

SPONSORED POSTS & PAID PLACEMENTS

Beyond free editorial contributions, we run a small number of sponsored posts each month. Sponsored articles are ideal for SaaS tools, agencies, and service brands that want guaranteed placement, additional contextual do-follow links, and inclusion in our newsletter. Every sponsored piece is clearly disclosed and must still clear our editorial quality bar — we protect our readers and our rankings.

FAQ

Do you accept sponsored posts?

Yes. Alongside free editorial guest posts, we accept a limited number of sponsored and paid placements that meet our quality bar. Sponsored articles can include additional contextual do-follow links and are clearly disclosed. Email ari@localseoguy.digital for current sponsored-post rates and availability.

Which topics get accepted fastest?

Local SEO, SEO, and Google Ads are our priority categories and get reviewed first. Contractor, HVAC, and roofing marketing angles are also a strong fit. Generic 'top 10 tools' listicles and unrelated niches are usually declined.

Will my article include a do-follow link?

Standard guest posts include one relevant do-follow link in the body or author bio. Sponsored placements can include additional contextual links by arrangement.

How long should my guest post be?

Aim for 1,200–2,000+ words. Depth beats length — we'd rather have 1,300 genuinely useful words than 2,500 words of filler. Include examples, screenshots, and data wherever you can.

How long until my post is published?

After we approve your draft, most posts go live within 5–10 business days, depending on the editorial queue.

How do I submit my guest post?

Email your pitch and a writing sample to ari@localseoguy.digital with the subject line 'Write For Us – [Your Topic]'. That's the fastest way to reach our editorial team.
