Write the guide you wish your clients had read first.
We take guest guides from people who do the work: designers, developers, SEOs, writers, and business owners who learned it the hard way.
Pitch the idea first. Don’t send a finished draft.
Send a pitchA pitch is three lines
- 1The topic, written as the question a business owner would ask.
- 2Why you. What you have built, fixed or measured.
- 3One or two links to things you have written.
Topics we take
Readers here run a business in Toronto and have to make a call about their website. Write for them, not for other marketers.
- 01Web Design
Planning, layout, redesigns, and what makes a visitor call instead of leave.
- 02SEO
Local, on-page and technical SEO, plus how a business shows up in AI answers.
- 03Content Marketing
Blogging, website copy and content plans a small team can keep up with.
- 04Tools & Platforms
WordPress, website builders, hosting, domains and SEO tools. Name the catches.
- 05Website Costs
Real prices and where the money goes. Show your numbers.
What gets a yes
- It comes from your own work. A real project, a number, a screenshot.
- It reads without a glossary. If a term needs explaining, explain it or leave it out.
- It names the downsides. A guide that likes every tool is an ad.
- It is new. Not published anywhere else, before or after.
What gets a no
- A sales pitch for your company, dressed up as a guide.
- The same article rewritten for a different city.
- Topics that have nothing to do with websites or marketing.
- Links to casinos, loans, essay services or anything else the reader did not ask for.
- A finished draft sent without a pitch.
How it works
Four steps. The first one is the short one.
- 01
Pitch
Send your three lines through the contact form. Pick “Guest post” as the topic.
- 02
Reply
If the idea fits, we write back with a yes and notes on the angle.
- 03
Draft
You write it. Plain words, short paragraphs, sources linked.
- 04
Edit and publish
We edit for clarity and check the facts. Then it goes live under your name.
Credit and links
You get a byline and a short bio, with one link to your own site. Links inside the guide stay when they help the reader.
No money changes hands. We don’t pay for guest guides, and we don’t charge for them.
Prices and tools change, so we may update your guide later to keep it right.
Paying for placement
That is a sponsored post. It is a separate thing from a guest guide.
Sponsored posts carry a visible label, and their links are marked as sponsored. To ask about one, pick “Sponsorship or advertising” on the contact form.
Three lines is enough to start.
Use the contact form, or write to webdesigncompanytorontoca@gmail.com with “Guest post” in the subject line.
