Partner with PieLab: Guest Post and Editorial Standards

Welcome to PieLab! We are a team of passionate developers and designers dedicated to building top-tier Shopify apps and AI-driven SEO solutions. We are looking for expert writers to share fresh, high-quality content with our audience of Shopify merchants and e-commerce entrepreneurs.

1. Our Niche & Topics

We focus on providing actionable value. Your content should revolve around:

  • Shopify & E-commerce: Growth hacks, store optimization, and Shopify Plus strategies.
  • AI in E-commerce: How AI is transforming SEO, content creation, and customer experience.
  • SEO Strategies: Technical SEO, link building, and latest algorithm updates.
  • Business Trends: Emerging tech and market shifts in the digital landscape.

2. Content Requirements

To maintain the high authority of our platform, every guest post must meet these standards:

  • Originality: 100% unique. We do not accept republished or plagiarized content.
  • Length: We prefer deep dives. Articles should be 1,500+ words on average.
  • Structure: Use a clear hierarchy (H2, H3, H4), short paragraphs (max 4 lines), and bullet points for readability.
  • Value-Driven: Avoid generic “fluff.” Back your claims with data, case studies, or real-world examples.
  • Tone: Professional yet friendly. Think of it as an expert talking to a peer.
  • Visuals: Include at least 3 high-resolution images, screenshots, or infographics. Ensure you have the rights to use them.

3. Linking Policy

  • External Links: You may include one do-follow link to your website, provided it is inserted naturally within the content (no direct promotion).
  • Internal Links: Please include at least 2-3 internal links to existing articles on PieLab.io or Secomapp.com to help with SEO.
  • Authority Links: Credit all data sources by linking to reputable sites. Avoid data older than 3 years.

4. Submission Process

  • Step 1: Pitching: Send your topic ideas, target keywords, and a short outline to [email protected] (Subject: Guest Post Pitch).
  • Step 2: Portfolio: Include at least 3 links to your previously published work.
  • Step 3: Draft: Once approved, send the draft via Google Docs with “Anywhere with the link can edit” access.
  • Step 4: Review: Our editorial team will review the draft. We may request edits to align with our brand voice.

5. Important Notes

  • AI Content: While we love AI, we do not accept raw AI-generated text. Content must be heavily edited and human-vetted for accuracy and personality.
  • No Clickbait: Keep titles engaging but honest. Provide at least 3 title options.
  • The “ABC” Model: As we focus on mutual growth, we prioritize partners who can offer a guest post exchange on their own platform.
