Write for Us: Digital Marketing, SEO, PPC & Web Development
If you work in digital marketing every day, running campaigns, debugging Core Web Vitals at 2 a.m., rebuilding a client's funnel after a bad quarter, we'd like to read what you have to say.
Leemjaz is a digital marketing agency based in San Francisco, working with clients across the US, UK, UAE, and Europe. Our blog is read by business owners, in-house marketers, and agency operators who want practical answers, not definitions they could have Googled. If that sounds like your audience, too, this page explains what we publish, what we don't, and how to pitch us.
Why Contribute to the Leemjaz Blog
We're not a content farm. We publish fewer pieces each month, but we promote the ones we accept properly.
Do-follow author link
To your website, portfolio, or LinkedIn from a page that's indexed and actively marketed.
Credited author bio
Your headshot, role, and up to three professional links.
Editorial support
Our in-house editors work with you on structure, hooks, and schema before publishing.
Shared across our channels
Published posts are featured on our LinkedIn, email list, and internal client resources.
Long shelf life
We update evergreen posts quarterly, so your piece keeps pulling traffic long after publish day.
Who We're Looking For
Google's current quality guidelines put real weight on Experience, the "first E" in E-E-A-T. That matches how we think about editorial fit, too. The contributors who get accepted usually have one or more of the following:
Two or more years of hands-on work in an SEO, PPC, social, web development, email, or content role.
A current or recent role at an agency, in-house marketing team, SaaS company, or as an independent consultant.
Verifiable case studies, client work, or original data you can reference in the piece.
A personal or professional profile (LinkedIn, agency bio, portfolio, or published work elsewhere), we can review.
You don't need a huge following or a famous byline. You do need to have actually done the thing you're writing about. Generic listicles assembled from other people's blog posts won't make it past our editorial review.

Topics We Will Not Publish
To keep the blog useful for our readers and aligned with our editorial standards, we don't accept submissions covering any of the following, even if the pitch is well-written.
- Casino, betting, gambling, sweepstakes, lottery, or any related affiliate content
- Cryptocurrency speculation, token promotion, NFT launches, or "Web3 get-rich" content
- Adult content, dating services of any kind, or anything sexual in nature
- Payday loans, debt consolidation funnels, and similar financial grey-niche offers
- CBD, vaping, tobacco, alcohol affiliate schemes, or nutraceutical promotions
- Medical, legal, or financial advice outside of marketing context (YMYL territory we're not set up to fact-check)
- Pure promotional content about your product, agency, or service
- AI-generated or heavily AI-spun content (more on this below)
- Press releases, company announcements, funding news
- Anything that would require Google to apply extra scrutiny under its spam or site reputation policies
We will not make exceptions for these categories, regardless of offer or fee.
Content & Formatting Guidelines
Read these before you pitch. Submissions that ignore them get rejected without a response.
Length
1,200 to 2,000 words is the sweet spot. Shorter than 1,000 rarely has room for real depth; longer than 2,500 usually has padding we'll cut anyway.
Originality
The article must be 100% original, unpublished elsewhere, and will remain exclusive to Leemjaz after publication. We run submissions through Copyscape. Republishing the piece on your own site, LinkedIn, Medium, or elsewhere after we publish it is not allowed.
Structure
One H1 (the title). Use H2s for main sections and H3s for sub-points. Short paragraphs, three to four lines maximum. Bullets and numbered lists where they earn their place, not for decoration.
Tone
Write like a working marketer talking to another working marketer. First-person and second-person are both fine. Skip the fluff, the "in today's fast-paced world" openers, and the definitions of things your reader already knows.
Data and sources
If you cite a statistic, study, or claim, link to the primary source, not a blog post that cites the original. We prefer data from the last 18 months. If you bring original data from your own campaigns, redact client names but show the numbers.
Images
Include at least two to three images: screenshots, diagrams, charts, or original graphics. No stock photos of handshakes or people pointing at laptops. All images must be royalty-free or owned by you, in PNG or JPG format, at least 1200 pixels wide. Include alt text for every image.
Internal linking. Where it genuinely adds value for the reader, link to two or three relevant Leemjaz posts. Our editors will add more during review.
AI Content Policy
We accept articles written by humans who used AI as a research or drafting aid. We do not accept articles written by AI and lightly edited by a human. The difference is usually obvious within the first two paragraphs.
If your article reads like a generic summary of the topic, no personal examples, no specific numbers, no opinion, no rough edges, it will be rejected. If it reads like you've actually done this work and are explaining how you do it, it will move forward, regardless of how you got the first draft onto the page.
By submitting, you confirm the article reflects your own experience and expertise.
Link Policy
- One do-follow link to the author's chosen URL (your site, portfolio, or a specific resource) is allowed inside the author bio.
- Up to two contextual outbound links within the article body, pointing to non-competing, high-quality resources that support a claim.
- No links to casino, adult, crypto, payday loan, pharmacy, or any site we'd exclude from publishing in the first place.
- No affiliate links, tracking links, or branded-search manipulation.
- We reserve the right to remove or nofollow any link that looks promotional rather than editorial.
Submission & Review Process
Here's exactly what happens after you hit submit.
Send a pitch

If your pitch is a fit, we'll ask for the full draft as a Google Doc with edit access. If it isn't, we'll tell you.
Submit the full article
We review for originality, depth, and fit.
Revisions
Our editors work with you on structure, clarity, or sourcing. Expect one to two rounds of feedback.
