Guest Blog Guidelines
We’re not accepting guest posts right now, but if you’re a real authority in your field and not just looking for a backlink, we’re open to hearing from you. We only consider world-class contributions from people with actual expertise. If that’s you, reach out using the form at the bottom of the page.
Who we write for
We write for extremely busy business owners who are running their own business; whether it’s a local service or an eCommerce store, and need better marketing strategies without the fluff. We also help marketers who run marketing teams and need sharp, effective insights to stay ahead.
What we ignore
We do not accept content that is just self-promotion. Focus on value, not selling. Your bio is the place to mention yourself.
We also reject articles that have been published elsewhere or repeat what is already out there. Bring a fresh angle or a deeper insight.
Rules before you submit
We do not ask if AI helped create your article, but you are fully responsible for its originality and accuracy. Check your facts, cite your sources properly, and ensure all information is correct. If citations are missing or details are inaccurate, your article may be rejected.
Length
Your article must be at least 1,500 words. We do not accept short or surface-level content. Go deep, provide value, and cover topics in full detail.
Keywords
Use long-tail keywords with search volume. Do not stuff keywords. Keep them natural, relevant, and properly integrated for readability and SEO.
Originality
Your article must be 100% original. Once published here, it cannot be republished anywhere else. We do not accept rewrites or AI-generated content.
Formatting
Use clear subheadings (H1, H2, H3) and bullet points where needed. Keep sentences under 15 words. All content must follow AU/UK English rules.
Tone
Write in a conversational but expert tone. Talk with readers, not at them. Avoid clichés. Back up claims with data, examples, or industry insights.
Topics
Your content must focus on SEO, digital marketing, Google Ads, or marketing psychology. Go beyond basics. Provide fresh insights and real strategies.
Imagery
Include high-res images or screenshots that add value. Do not use generic stock photos. Compress all images before uploading.
Linking
Include at least 5 internal links to our blog. Use 2+ reputable external sources. Backlinks are allowed but limited to 2, only in the lower 2/3 of the article.
Conclusions
Do not use “Conclusion” as a heading. Wrap up naturally with phrases like “That said” or “Considering X.” Do not push sales or promotional messaging.

Marketing Guest Posting FAQs
What kind of topics are you most interested in for guest posts?
We’re interested in insightful articles that offer unique perspectives on SEO, digital marketing, Google Ads, and consumer psychology. Our audience consists of decision-makers and digital marketers who are hungry for advanced strategies and actionable insights. Think of deep dives into uncharted territories, not surface-level advice. If you can give practical examples and strategies, you’re on the right track.
How strict are you about the 1,500-word minimum?
We enforce a 1,500-word minimum because we value in-depth content that thoroughly explores the subject matter. A longer article also gives you the opportunity to include valuable long-tail keywords and delve into complexities that shorter articles simply can’t cover. It’s not just about meeting a word count; it’s about providing exceptional value to our readers.
How many backlinks can I include to my own website?
You’re allowed to include up to two backlinks to your own website, but they should appear in the lower two-thirds of the article. This ensures that the article focuses on providing value upfront and that any self-promotion is subtle and appropriate.
What's the review process like? How long will it take?
Our editorial team meets weekly to discuss new submissions. You can expect feedback within a few weeks regarding the acceptance of your article or if we choose to pass on it. If you haven’t heard back within a few days of submitting, feel free to send us a reminder.
What happens if my article is rejected?
If your article is not a fit for our blog, you’ll be notified during our review process. While it’s disappointing, this is often an opportunity for you to refine your piece and consider other platforms that might be more aligned with your content.
Can I republish the article on my own blog?
Once your article is published on JRR Marketing Blog, it becomes exclusive to our platform and should not be published elsewhere. This is crucial for maintaining the originality and SEO value of the content for both parties involved.
What are the 'red flags' that could get my article rejected?
Over-promotion and repeated content are the major red flags. Focus on providing value rather than selling your services or products. Also, we require unique perspectives, so if your article resembles something already published, it will likely be rejected.
How should I handle internal and external linking?
Please include at least 5 relevant internal links to articles from our blog, and a minimum of 2 external links to support the information in your article. These external links must be from reputable sources, such as case studies or industry research.
Can I include a bio and how should it be formatted?
Yes, you can include a 50-100 word bio where you introduce yourself to our community. Attach a professional image and a link of your choice, either to your website or a social media profile. This is your opportunity to engage our readers and invite them to learn more about you.
What tone should the article have?
We value a conversational yet authoritative tone. Think of it as having a professional discussion with our audience, where you come off as the expert they’re seeking. Use clear and concise language, and support your claims with evidence. Feel free to incorporate analogies and metaphors for clarity, but avoid clichés.
