Common questions.
What is an off-site post?
An off-site post is a complete original article, written, edited and published on an industry-relevant third-party site, that names your brand and links to you.
Who writes the article?
Our team writes and edits the article using a core knowledge document built from your brand's website and supportable information in your brief. Writing and placement are included. If you need approval before publishing, submit your already-approved content instead.
Can I approve the content first?
If you need approval before publishing, submit your already-approved content in the order form. Team-written content is not sent for pre-publication approval; you receive confirmation when the order is completed. This keeps turnaround times short given a large volume of orders.
Who owns the content?
The content is owned by the publisher, the third-party site.
Are links do-follow?
Yes. All links are do-follow; no nofollow or sponsored-rel option is offered. Paid do-follow links may conflict with Google's link-spam policy and carry risk. We do not claim blanket compliance or guarantee rankings.
How long should posts be?
There is no fixed word count. The brief and the publisher's editorial standards guide the length.
What should I put in the brief?
Include one clear product definition, who it is for, three verifiable facts, and the exact brand name to use. Also tell us your positioning, competitors and anything off-limits. If approval is required, submit already-approved content.
Can I veto a proposed site?
Yes. We propose sites matched to your industry and audience. You can veto any that do not fit your brand.
