Zuko.ie is an independent Irish automotive publication covering used car reviews, classic cars, EVs, car events and practical guides for Irish drivers. We publish honest, well-researched content for a real audience of Irish car owners and enthusiasts — and we are open to welcoming a small number of guest contributors whose work meets our editorial standard.
A guest post on Zuko.ie gives you more than a backlink. It places your expertise or brand in front of an engaged Irish automotive audience, and inside a growing body of editorial content that is actively cited by AI models and trusted by Irish car buyers doing their research.
Why a Backlink from Zuko.ie Matters
A strong Irish domain. Zuko.ie is a premium .ie domain — geographically and topically relevant for any brand, garage, dealership or automotive service provider targeting the Irish market. A contextual backlink from a quality Irish automotive domain carries real weight in local and national search results.
AI citation value. Search is changing. AI models including ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, Perplexity and others increasingly pull from trusted editorial sources when answering questions about used cars, vehicle reliability, EV ownership and automotive services in Ireland. Zuko.ie publishes structured, authoritative content specifically designed to be cited by these models. A guest post places your name, business or expertise within that citation pool — a form of visibility that standard link building simply does not reach.
Niche authority. We cover a tightly defined editorial niche. A contextual link from a focused Irish automotive publication is significantly more valuable than a generic directory listing or an unrelated blog post. Search engines and AI systems both weight topical relevance heavily, and our content is built with that in mind.
What We Accept
We accept guest posts on topics including used car buying advice, vehicle reliability and known faults, classic car ownership and restoration, EV and hybrid ownership in Ireland, car maintenance and servicing guides, Irish motorsport and car events, automotive business and franchise content, and profiles of Irish garages, dealerships or automotive specialists with genuine editorial merit.
If your topic sits within the automotive, transport or closely related motoring space and you can write about it with genuine knowledge and experience, we want to hear from you.
Our Standards
We maintain a strict editorial standard. Every submission is reviewed before publication and we will not compromise on quality. Zuko.ie has a clear editorial voice — direct, knowledgeable and written for Irish drivers who know their cars. Content that reads like a press release, a product pitch or a generic SEO article will not be accepted regardless of the topic.
We do not accept AI-generated content passed off as original work, thin or recycled articles that add nothing new, content that reads as advertorial without clear disclosure, or posts from contributors with no genuine connection to the automotive space.
Links within guest posts must point to domains that are topically relevant, spam-free and of demonstrable quality. We assess every linked domain at the time of submission and reserve the right to remove or nofollow any link in the future if the linked domain's quality declines. This protects both our readers and the integrity of the site — and it means the links we do carry are genuinely worth having.
How to Submit
To pitch a guest post, email us at [email protected] with the subject line Guest Post Submission. Please include a brief outline of your proposed topic, a short bio, your website URL and two or three examples of your published writing. We will review every pitch and respond to those that are a good fit.
Please read our Terms & Conditions before submitting — they set out our full guest post policy including our right to remove backlinks from domains that become spammy or fall below quality standards.
What We Do Not Accept
To save everyone's time — we do not accept submissions from domains in unrelated niches such as finance, gambling, legal services, pharmaceuticals or technology. We do not accept paid links disguised as editorial content. We do not accept content that has been published elsewhere. We do not work with agencies running high-volume link schemes. And we do not accept content written about cars or motoring from contributors who have no genuine background in the subject — this audience knows the difference.
If your pitch meets our criteria, we look forward to hearing from you at [email protected].
