Smashing Magazine guest posts, handled end-to-end

A Smashing Magazine guest post requires the right topic angle, a compelling pitch, and content that meets their editorial standards. We handle all of it — from topic research through to publication — so you get the link without the overhead.
01

Topic strategy

We research what Smashing Magazine is currently publishing in your niche and identify angles that are both editorially attractive and commercially useful for your link building. Topics are agreed with you before any pitch is sent.

02

Pitch and approval

We pitch our Smashing Magazine contacts directly. If the pitch is accepted, we move to content production. If it's not accepted on the first attempt, we refine and repitch — we don't stop until we have a confirmed placement.

03

Content production and publication

Our writers produce a 1,200–2,500 word article that meets Smashing Magazine's editorial requirements. You review and approve before submission. Once accepted by Smashing Magazine's team, it's published with your agreed backlink in the body copy.
