Guest post, link insert or listicle: which one to buy
Each format does a different job. Here is how we explain it to clients who ask.
| Format | Best when you want | Links | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Link insertion | A fast, cheap link from a page that is already indexed and has a topic match with your target page. | 1 | $150 |
| Brand mention | Your brand name next to a topic, for AI search visibility and brand searches. | 0 or 1 | $150 |
| Guest post | Full control over the topic, the angle and the context around your link. | Up to 2 | $250 |

Still not sure? We wrote a full comparison of guest posting vs niche edits, and a guide to how link insertions work. Short version: if the page you want to rank is commercial, a link insert into a relevant guide is usually the best value. If you need to explain a product or an idea, write a guest post.

Guidelines
Guest post guidelines
We keep the bar where our readers expect it. Articles that follow these rules get published without back and forth.
Length and format
1,000 to 2,500 words. Clear H2 and H3 headings, short paragraphs, and a direct answer near the top. Send it as a Google Doc or Word file. We add images and formatting.
Original and useful
The article must be unpublished and written for our readers: marketers, founders and SEO people. Give examples, numbers, screenshots or steps they can use. AI can help you write, but the article has to read like someone who has done the work.
Links
Up to 2 links to your own site, placed where they help the reader. You can also cite sources, studies and tools. We may add links to related Create & Grow articles.
Anchor text
Use natural anchors: your brand name, a description of the page, or a partial keyword. Exact-match money anchors stuffed into every paragraph will be edited.
Author
You can publish under your own name with a short bio, or under the Create & Grow team. Agencies usually choose the second option.

Guide
How to choose a “write for us” site before you buy a guest post
Search for “write for us + SEO” or “marketing guest post” and you will find thousands of sites. Many exist only to sell links. A link from those sites costs money and can hurt you. Before you buy a guest post anywhere, including here, check these five things.
1. Is the site about your topic?
A link from a marketing blog to a marketing tool makes sense. The same link from a site that publishes about pets, crypto and plumbing on the same day does not. Look at the last 20 posts. If you can’t tell what the site is about, skip it. We explain why in our guide to what makes a high-quality backlink.
2. Does it get organic traffic?
Domain Rating and Domain Authority are easy to inflate. Traffic from Google is harder to fake. Check that the site ranks for real keywords in its niche, and that the traffic hasn’t dropped to zero after a Google update. Our checklist on how to evaluate a website for backlinks walks through it step by step.
3. Are the links dofollow?
Some sites sell guest posts and then add nofollow or sponsored tags to every outbound link without telling you. Ask before you pay, and check a few existing guest posts. If you’re new to the difference, read dofollow vs nofollow links.
4. Does every post carry 10 outbound links?
Link farms publish posts with many unrelated outbound links. Each link is worth less, and the whole site can be devalued. On createandgrow.com your link sits in a normal article with a normal number of links.
5. Is the price fair?
Guest posts on real, niche-relevant sites usually cost between $100 and $500. Much cheaper often means a private blog network. Much more expensive should come with a big brand name. See our breakdown of link building pricing for the full picture.
One more tip: write for the reader of the site, not for the link. A guest post that teaches something gets read, gets shared, and keeps its value for years.
