Published guest posts are SEO-friendly and can include a link to your website or to your verified listing in our directory.

All articles are reviewed before publication, giving your content credibility with both readers and search engines.
Whether you are a London business owner sharing practical advice, or a professional offering insights for companies operating in the capital, we welcome contributions that bring value to our audience. If you are searching for a place to submit a guest post in the business niche, you’ve found the right platform.
Topics we accept
Accepted guest post topics include:
London business insights
Local business trends, success stories, and practical tips for running and growing a company in London.
Marketing and sales
Digital marketing, local SEO, social media strategies, branding, advertising, inbound and outbound sales.
Customer experience and trust
Building credibility, improving customer service, and strategies to increase loyalty.
Small business advice
Finance, management, recruitment, productivity tools, compliance, and business planning.
Events and networking
Trade shows, local business events, sponsorship opportunities, and community engagement.
Technology and innovation for businesses
Software, apps, AI tools, e-commerce, cybersecurity, and IT solutions for companies.
Workplace and people
HR, hiring, training, employee wellbeing, and creating positive workplace culture.
Industry perspectives
Contributions from professionals in sectors such as law, finance, health, property, trades, hospitality, and technology, with articles written for a business audience (not consumer DIY guides or travel tips).
If your idea fits within one of these areas, we’d be happy to review your submission. Articles should provide real value to business readers, not just promotional content.
Not sure your industry fits?
If your work is mainly consumer-focused – such as home and garden services (builders, renovators, cleaning, electricians, interior design, plumbers, roofers, pest control etc), travel and tourism (travel agents, car hire, car repair etc), creative activities (arts and crafts, dance or music schools etc), health, beauty, family services, or retail – please contact us first before submitting an article.
We’ll help identify a suitable angle for the article before you write it, to ensure it provides practical value for our readers while allowing appropriate reference to your company.
Guest post submission guidelines
We regularly receive guest posting requests, so please read these guest post guidelines before sending your article. Following them increases your chance of publication.
1. Original content only
Articles must be unique, unpublished elsewhere, and written specifically for our site.
2. Word count and style
We recommend 600–1,000 words. Posts should be easy to read, with short paragraphs, headings, and, where appropriate, bullet points or lists. Articles must be free of grammar and spelling errors.
3. Topics
Your article should fit within one of our accepted topics (see above). Posts should provide practical advice, insights, or information of value to business readers.
4. Links
– You may include one link to your business website or to your verified listing in our directory.
– Any other links must be relevant and editorial in nature (e.g. references to research, statistics, or credible sources), subject to acceptance.
– Guest posts that include a link to a business website are accepted for free when the business already has a paid listing in our directory.
5. Formatting
Promotional language should be minimal; articles must read as informative and useful, not as an advert.
6. Editorial review
All submissions are reviewed before publication. We reserve the right to make light edits for readability, SEO, or formatting. Sending your article does not guarantee acceptance.
7. Publication rights
By submitting, you agree to grant us the right to be the sole publisher of your article. It should not be republished elsewhere once accepted.
