All articles must be a minimum of 750 words. This ensures sufficient depth and value for readers. Articles below this threshold will be returned for revision.

We accept well-written, informative articles that are relevant to the chosen publication's audience. Content must be original, accurate and not violate any intellectual property rights. All published content is clearly labelled as sponsored or advertorial. See our Editorial Guidelines for full details on accepted and banned content.

Yes. You can include up to 3 high-resolution images with your article. If you don't provide images, our team may generate appropriate AI imagery to accompany your content.

If your content does not meet our editorial standards, our team will either suggest specific changes for you to revise and resubmit, or decline publication entirely. If we decline to publish and you have already paid, you will receive a full refund.

We reserve the right to make minor edits for style, grammar, formatting and compliance with our editorial guidelines. We maintain full editorial control over all published content to ensure consistency across our publications.

Every article includes 1 do-follow hyperlink as standard. You can add up to 3 additional do-follow links at £80 each during the order process.

No. Once an article is published, the hyperlinks within it are final. We do not alter, swap, update or replace URLs in previously published content. The only exception is when a destination URL already has a 301 permanent redirect in place — in this case, we may update the link to point to the new destination at our discretion.

No. We do not insert additional links into previously published content. If you need links to additional pages, please include them when submitting your original article or consider placing a new order.

If your website URL changes, you should set up a 301 permanent redirect from the old URL to the new one. This is standard best practice and ensures the link in your published article continues to work correctly. If a 301 is already in place, we may update the link at our discretion. Please ensure all URLs are correct and pointing to live pages before submitting your article.

Our editorial team typically reviews submissions within 1-3 business days. During busy periods, this may take slightly longer. You'll receive a notification when your content has been reviewed.

Publication is usually immediate once payment has been confirmed — most articles go live on the same day. You'll receive a notification with the live URLs once your content is published. Please note that we operate during UK business hours (Monday — Friday, 9am — 5pm GMT).

Yes. All published articles remain live permanently for the lifetime of the publication. However, we reserve the right to remove content if it contains broken links, becomes obsolete, violates our editorial guidelines, or if removal is required by law. See our policies page for full details.

We do not guarantee specific publication dates. While publication is usually immediate after payment, the exact timing depends on our editorial schedule and UK business hours (Monday — Friday, 9am — 5pm GMT). We do not offer expedited or rush publication services.

Yes. All published articles are shared across our social media channels to maximise indexation and exposure. This is included as standard with both Regular Niche and Grey Niche placements.

Pricing varies by publication and niche tier. Regular Niche articles start from £105 and Grey Niche articles start from £150. You can see the full pricing for each publication by clicking on any website card on our network page.

We accept payment via PayPal and bank transfer. Invoices are issued through QuickBooks after your content is approved. All prices are in British Pounds (GBP).

VAT is applied in accordance with UK tax regulations at the prevailing rate (currently 20%). For EU businesses with a valid VAT number, the reverse charge mechanism may apply.

We offer a 10% volume discount when you order articles across 3 or more publications in a single order. This is the only discount available — we do not offer custom pricing, haggling or ad-hoc discounts. Our pricing is transparent and consistent for every client.

No. All prices are fixed and non-negotiable. We do not offer custom rate cards, competitor price matching or bespoke pricing. This ensures fairness and consistency for all our clients. See our policies page for more details.

Absolutely. You can select multiple publications in a single order. When you order articles across 3 or more publications, you automatically receive our 10% volume discount.

No. Once content has been published, the service has been fully delivered and refunds are not available. This applies to all orders regardless of circumstances.

Refunds may be issued for orders that have not yet been published. If you need to cancel, contact us as soon as possible. If we decline to publish your content for any reason, you will receive a full refund automatically.

No. If we remove an article under our content removal policy (for example, due to broken links, obsolete content, or guideline violations), no refund is offered. The publication service was delivered at the time of original publication.

Regular Niche covers mainstream, brand-safe industries like restaurants, fashion, real estate, technology, health and travel. Grey Niche covers restricted or compliance-sensitive industries like casinos, sports betting, cryptocurrency, CBD, vaping, forex trading and adult services. Grey Niche articles require an enhanced editorial compliance review and are priced higher. See our Editorial Guidelines for the full list.

Yes. Both Regular Niche and Grey Niche placements include: permanent article placement, 1 do-follow hyperlink, up to 3 high-resolution images, SEO metadata optimisation, AI-generated imagery if needed, and social media sharing for maximum indexation and exposure. The only difference is that Grey Niche articles undergo an enhanced editorial compliance review due to the nature of the industries covered.

If your industry is not explicitly listed on our Editorial Guidelines page, please contact us and we'll advise which tier applies. In general, if your industry is mainstream and brand-safe, it falls under Regular Niche. If it involves any regulated, restricted or compliance-sensitive services, it will be categorised as Grey Niche.
