Got something brilliant to say?
We accept a small number of guest posts each year from writers and marketers who’ve genuinely got something fresh to add to the SEO and content marketing conversation. If that’s you, we’d love to hear from you.
The bar is genuinely high.
We’re a SEO agency for small businesses, so we publish things our small business audience actually wants to read. Here’s what gets through editorial, and what doesn’t.
What we love to publish
- SEO strategy, tactics, and case studies
- Local SEO insights for small businesses
- AEO & GEO — search in the age of AI
- Original research, data, or experiments
- Content marketing with a fresh angle
- Link building that isn’t gross
- Honest opinion pieces that take a position
- Practical writing & editorial craft
What gets rejected on sight
- AI-written or heavily AI-assisted drafts
- Generic “10 tips for…” listicles
- Posts that exist to embed a backlink
- Anything that reads like every other SEO blog
- Pitches from content mills or PBN networks
- Topics outside SEO, content, and small business growth
- Anything you’ve already pitched somewhere else
- Overly promotional pieces or thinly-veiled ads
Past posts we loved publishing.
Here are a few recent guest pieces that got through editorial. Read them before you pitch — they’ll give you a feel for the standard, the voice, and the kind of thinking that lands.
Six things every pitch needs.
Original thought
We don’t publish summaries of things others have written. Your post needs to say something genuinely new, take a position other writers haven’t, or share data and experience nobody else can.
1,500 words minimum
You can’t say anything substantial in 800 words. We expect 1,500 to 2,500 words of properly structured, sub-headed, scannable content. Longer is fine if every paragraph earns its space.
Genuinely unique
All submissions go through plagiarism and AI-detection tools before review. If your post is AI-generated, AI-rewritten, or already published elsewhere, we’ll find out.
One backlink, no more
You get one branded backlink in a 50-word author bio at the end of the post. We don’t accept posts with embedded promotional links to clients, products or third-party sites.
We edit. Heavily.
Our editorial team will proofread, tighten, restructure and SEO-optimise your post before publishing. You’ll see the final version before it goes live, but we’re firm on edits.
Pitch first, write later
Don’t send us a finished post. Pitch the idea first. If we like it, we’ll commission it. This saves everyone time and dramatically increases your chances of being published.
Got an idea that fits the brief?
If you’ve read the criteria, browsed our blog, and reckon you’ve got something that’d genuinely earn a spot on Wrise, we’d love to hear it.
The form to the right is deliberately demanding. It’s our editorial filter. We read every submission that comes through it personally, and we reply within a week.
If you’re stuck for what to write about, our SEO packages page is full of small business challenges that could spark ideas, and our blog is the best place to see what we’ve covered already.
Fields with poor or copy-pasted answers won’t make it past first read. We’re looking for genuine effort.
Pitch your idea.
All fields required. Be specific. We read every word.
A note from the editorial team.
We get a lot of pitches. Most don’t get a reply because they’re clearly templated, vague, or completely off-topic.
If you’ve taken the time to read our blog and pitch something genuinely good, we’ll always respond. That’s the deal.
