How long until I hear back about my pitch?

Our editorial team reviews pitches within 2-3 business days. You'll hear from us by email whether it's a fit before you write a full draft.

Do you accept AI-generated articles?

No. We require human-written, original content. AI-assisted research or editing is fine, but the draft itself needs to reflect real writing and, ideally, real project or field experience.

Do I need to pay to be featured?

Yes. Guest posts and placements on CalcSummit are paid. Tell us what you have in mind in the form below and we'll quote it individually rather than publishing a fixed price list.

What kind of links are allowed in a guest post?

One contextual link relevant to the topic, plus one link in your author bio. All paid links are labeled and tagged rel=sponsored per Google's link spam policy. Affiliate links, and links to gambling, adult, CBD, cryptocurrency, or payday-loan sites, are not accepted.

What topics do you accept?

Construction and home improvement topics that fit our calculators and guides, plus adjacent verticals as CalcSummit expands. Tell us your idea in the pitch field and we'll let you know if it's a fit.

Ways to Work With Us

Guest Post & Placement Pricing

Rates depend on content area and link type, and are quoted after we review your request. We don't publish a fixed price list. Submit the form below and tell us what you have in mind.

Banner Advertising

Beyond guest posts, we also offer banner advertising on our top-performing calculator pages, putting your brand in front of high-intent visitors actively planning a construction or home improvement project. Mention banner advertising in the form below and we'll share available placements and rates.

Editorial & Formatting Guidelines

Length:1,000-1,800 words minimum, with clear H2/H3 structure and short paragraphs.

Originality:Unpublished elsewhere, plagiarism-checked, and human-written. No unedited AI drafts.

Sourcing:Claims and figures need a citable source (code reference, manufacturer spec, published study).

Images:Original or properly licensed diagrams only, with descriptive alt text.

Excluded topics:No gambling, adult content, cryptocurrency, CBD, payday loans, or unrelated political/religious content.

Link & Disclosure Policy

One contextual link relevant to the article, plus one link in your author bio. Every paid link is tagged rel="sponsored" and disclosed on the page, in line with Google's guidance on paid and sponsored links. Affiliate links, and links to gambling, adult content, cryptocurrency, CBD, or payday-loan sites, are not accepted.

All sponsored content is labeled as sponsored. This protects both sides. It keeps the placement compliant and keeps CalcSummit's own rankings out of reach of a manual action.
