Write for Us – Submit a Guest Post in the UK

Free Business Directory welcomes high-quality guest posts from business owners, professionals, consultants, writers and industry specialists who want to share useful knowledge with a UK audience.

If you are looking to submit a guest post in the UK, we welcome practical perspectives on business, technology, digital marketing, software, finance, property, construction, travel and food.

We publish informative, original articles that educate, explain, compare or provide genuine industry insight. An article should help readers, rather than exist primarily to promote a company or place a backlink.

Submissions go through an eligible active business listing and its authorised owner account. This page is a guide, not an anonymous submission form. If you do not yet manage a listing, add your business first and wait until it is approved and active.

Who Can Submit a Guest Post?

We welcome people with genuine knowledge or experience in their field. You do not need to be a professional journalist, but your article should demonstrate real understanding of its subject.

Contributors may include business owners, founders, consultants, marketers, developers, accountants, finance professionals, property professionals, construction specialists, hospitality professionals, freelancers, industry experts and professional writers with relevant expertise.

Wherever you are based, the article must be relevant to a UK business audience. A writer or overseas contributor must still submit through an eligible business account they are authorised to manage. Welcoming expertise does not bypass listing eligibility, account checks or editorial review.

Guest Post Guidelines

Write for the reader first. These are editorial guidelines, not a new word-count validation rule in the article editor.

  • Aim for a minimum of 1,000 words unless the subject clearly requires less. A shorter, well-supported explanation can be appropriate; do not add filler to reach a target.
  • Submit original content that has not previously been published elsewhere, and only content you have the right to publish.
  • Use a clear title, a useful introduction and appropriate headings to organise the article.
  • Provide useful, factual and informative material relevant to our UK audience.
  • British English is preferred. Explain specialist language where readers may not know it.
  • Support factual claims with reliable, relevant sources where appropriate. Check dates, figures and jurisdiction-specific statements.
  • Do not submit plagiarism or copied material.
  • Avoid keyword stuffing, repetitive search phrases and links inserted mainly to influence search engines.
  • Do not submit spun or low-quality AI-generated content. Contributors remain responsible for accuracy, originality and substance.
  • Articles must not be purely promotional advertorials.
  • Do not make misleading or unsupported claims about results, products, finances or professional expertise.

Read our Terms & Conditions · Read our Privacy Policy

Human-written content only

We do not accept mass-produced, low-quality or primarily AI-generated articles. Submissions are subject to originality, quality and editorial review, and automated AI-content screening may be used alongside that review. As an internal publishing standard, articles showing more than a 10% indication of AI-generated content will not be published. AI may be used for limited research or proofreading assistance, but the final article must be genuinely written, structured and reviewed by a human author, with original insight and real value for readers.

An AI screening score is an editorial signal, not definitive proof of authorship. A low score does not guarantee approval or publication.

Content We Do Not Accept

We do not accept articles primarily promoting any of the following:

  • Gambling, including casino promotions.
  • Adult services or pornography.
  • Payday loans.
  • Illegal products or services.
  • Deceptive financial schemes.
  • Unlicensed pharmaceuticals.
  • Malware.
  • Other unlawful, abusive, spammy or rights-infringing material prohibited by our Terms.

Looking for a UK Guest Post Opportunity?

Whether you want to explain a software workflow, share a digital marketing lesson, discuss business finance or offer practical property and construction advice, start with a question that UK readers genuinely need answered.

Travel, hospitality and food specialists can contribute the same way: use experience, evidence and clear examples to make the article useful. This is one contribution route for relevant subjects, not a collection of niche submission pages or a directory of places to buy links.

How to Submit Your Guest Post

  1. Choose a relevant topic.

    Read the guidelines, check the knowledge hub and identify a useful question your article will answer for a UK audience.

  2. Sign in or create your owner account.

    Use the existing email one-time-code sign-in flow. You do not need a password for an owner account.

  3. Add or select an eligible business.

    You must be authorised to manage the listing. If you are adding a business, continue with the Free listing plan during registration. No payment is required.

  4. Prepare the article in your dashboard.

    Once the business is approved and active, open Articles in the dashboard and select your eligible business. Choose one of its available active categories, add your author name, title and introduction, and write in the existing editor. HTML and preview modes remain available.

  5. Submit for editorial review.

    Check your business’s current article allowance, review the content and rights confirmation, then use Submit for review. Awaiting-review and published articles count towards that business’s total allowance; unfinished drafts and rejected submissions do not.

  6. Allow for review and any revisions.

    Your article enters the awaiting-review state. An administrator may approve it or return it with feedback. Review times vary depending on submission volume and article complexity.

  7. Publication follows approval.

    Only approved articles are published publicly. Your business, account and selected category must remain eligible. Submitting an article does not guarantee article approval.

Free Business Plan Article Allowance

Article allowances are totals per business, not monthly limits and not a standalone per-article purchase. Awaiting-review and published articles count towards the allowance.

An eligible active Free business can use its included allowance at no charge. Any applicable Free-plan conditions still apply. Every article is subject to editorial review.

The Free plan allowance is shown below. Your dashboard confirms your business’s own eligibility, allowance used and remaining places. If your listing eligibility changes, publication benefits may also change.

Editorial Review

Every submission is subject to editorial review before public publication. We assess relevance, factual support, originality, useful substance, attribution, presentation and links.

Review may result in acceptance, a request for changes, formatting or minor language corrections, rejection of unsuitable material, or a request to remove links that do not meet our standards. Overly promotional or low-quality submissions may be declined.

Submission does not guarantee publication. We do not guarantee links, search rankings, indexing, traffic, leads or homepage placement. The existing Terms apply to listing services and moderation.

Guest Post FAQs

Do you accept technology guest posts?

Yes. We accept useful technology articles covering AI, automation, SaaS, business software, cybersecurity, web technology and digital transformation, subject to our guidelines and the eligible-business submission process.

Can I submit a digital marketing article?

Yes. SEO, PPC, content marketing, social media, email marketing, analytics and related digital marketing topics are welcome when they provide genuine value to readers.

Do you accept software guest posts?

Yes. We accept articles about business software, SaaS, CRM systems, development, integrations, productivity tools and automation.

Can contributors outside the UK submit?

Yes, provided the article is relevant to a UK business audience and follows our editorial guidelines. You must still submit through an eligible active business listing and an account authorised to manage it; being based overseas does not remove those requirements.

How long should a guest post be?

We generally recommend at least 1,000 words, unless the subject clearly calls for a shorter article. Quality, relevance and depth matter more than an arbitrary word count. This is editorial guidance, not a new editor validation rule.

Can I promote my company?

Relevant references to your expertise or organisation may be acceptable, but articles must not be written primarily as advertisements. Explain something useful rather than making unsupported promotional claims.

Can I include links?

Relevant links may be included where they genuinely support the article, within your current plan’s limits. All links remain subject to editorial review and our policies; submission does not guarantee that a link will be published or retained.

How long does review take?

Review times vary depending on submission volume and article complexity. Submitting an article does not guarantee publication or a review deadline.
