Guest Post Guidelines

Everything you need to know about publishing articles on RNK.me.

We accept high quality, original content that provides value to our readers. This includes industry insights, "How To" guides, local business tips, SEO strategies, and expert reviews. Articles should be well researched, grammatically correct, and formatted with clear paragraphs.

We have a zero tolerance policy for:
  • Plagiarism: AI generated spam or articles copied from other websites.
  • Low Quality SEO Spam: Keyword stuffing or thin content meant only for backlinks.
  • Inappropriate Content: Adult material, gambling, illegal activities, or hate speech.
  • Overly Promotional Content: Articles that read like a press release or direct advertisement (use the Directory Listing feature for that instead).

Every guest post must include a high quality Featured Image URL. You must have the legal right to use the image (e.g., Unsplash, Pexels, or your own graphic). You must also provide accurate Alt Text for the image to ensure accessibility and SEO compliance.

All submissions enter a manual moderation queue. Our editorial team typically reviews submissions within 24 to 48 hours. Once approved, you will receive an email notification and your article will go live instantly.

Yes! To keep our platform secure, standard HTML is disabled. To add a link to your article, use this simple bracket format: [Text You Want to Click](https://the-website-link.com) Examples:
  • Linking to an outside site:
    Check out [Company LLC](https://the-website-link.com)
  • Linking to an outside site:
    Check out [Company LLC Catalog](https://the-website-link.com/catalog)
  • Linking to your RNK.me Directory(Mandatory):

Note: All external links automatically open in a new tab, and we provide "dofollow" SEO value for high quality, approved articles!

To boost the SEO performance of your article, Google needs to verify that you are a real industry expert (E-E-A-T). Please paste a link that proves your identity. The best links to use are:
  1. Your verified RNK.me directory profile link (Highly Recommended)
  2. Your company's official "About Us" page
  3. Your professional LinkedIn profile
  4. Your official Business Facebook or Instagram page
Note: Author profile URL is not visible on the post page, this will apply to backend schema which will increase your SEO approval rate.
