Partnership
How TheGuideX works with brands, tools, and publishers: the media kit, sponsored content, deal features, guest posts, and tool partnerships, plus the lines we do not cross to keep the site worth trusting.
Who we work with
TheGuideX works with SEO and web tools, hosting and platform companies, agencies, and brands that take search seriously. The bar is simple: the partnership has to be useful to the people who read this site. If it is not, it is not worth doing.
The site is read by site owners, marketers, SEO and WordPress professionals, and people looking for genuine deals on hosting and tools, worldwide.
Media kit
The brand in one line: Find the X. Fix the cause. When you describe TheGuideX in an article, a listing, or a podcast intro, please use this:
TheGuideX (theguidex.com) is an SEO and web consultancy led by Sunny Kumar and owned by HeySERP Marketing Services. It started in 2016 as a blog and finds the one cause holding a site back, across technical SEO, AI search, WordPress, and links, then fixes it.
The name is written as one word, TheGuideX, with a capital G and X.

Labels & data
For the full kit, with logo files, current audience, traffic, and recent examples, email hello@theguidex.com. We send real numbers on request, not an inflated deck.
Sponsored content and paid reviews
We accept a small amount of sponsored content and paid reviews, on clear terms:
- Every paid piece is labelled as sponsored on the page.
- We write the words. Payment buys our time and the placement, not a script.
- We try the product first, and we say where it falls short.
- Paid links carry
rel="sponsored", so search engines know they are paid. - Anything we cannot cover truthfully, we decline.
This sits within the disclosure policy.
Deal and coupon features
TheGuideX runs coupon, deal, and store pages. If you are a hosting, theme, or SaaS company with a genuine offer, we can feature it, but only where the deal is actually good for our readers. Deals are ordered by their value to the reader, not by who pays. A weak discount dressed up as a big one does not get published.
Guest posts and links
We are selective with guest contributions and outbound links because link building only survives core updates when it is built for the audience first. Useful contributions from people with real expertise are welcome. Mass outreach, spun content, and link-only requests are not, and they get no reply.
Tool and affiliate partnerships
Where a tool is one we already use and recommend, an affiliate or partner arrangement can make sense. The relationship is disclosed and it never changes the recommendation. We would rather have no partnership than a dishonest one. Independence is what readers come here for.
Looking for SEO or web work instead?
If you want TheGuideX to find and fix a search, AI visibility, WordPress, or authority problem on your own site, that is consulting work, not a media partnership. Start on the contact page and show us the symptoms.
What we will not do
- Recommend a product we have not used or do not believe in.
- Publish hidden paid links or undisclosed sponsored content.
- Sell placements that mislead readers or break search guidelines.
- Take part in private blog networks or link schemes.
- Sell dofollow guest posts, link insertions, or “DA50+” placements.
- Remove or soften honest criticism in exchange for payment.
How to propose a partnership
Send a short, specific email to hello@theguidex.com and tell us:
- what you are promoting: the product, tool, or deal;
- the offer, or what you have in mind;
- your rough budget or scope, and timeline.
Pricing depends on the work and the placement. There is no fixed rate card, and paid pieces are always labelled, whatever the fee. Sunny Kumar reads these himself and replies honestly about whether it fits. Paid work is invoiced by HeySERP Marketing Services.
