Guest posts and sponsored articles

Check text before publishing

A guest post, a sponsored article or a text from a copywriter is ready, and you want to know what to change before it goes to the publisher. Paste it and Ani shows what may break Google's spam policies and content guidelines, and what the author should rewrite.

What you paste

  • The text. Plain text, Markdown or HTML from your editor. Write links as [anchor](address) or paste them as HTML links; Ani reads the anchor and the address of every link.
  • Where it will be published (optional). The address of the publication or the publisher's domain. It helps Ani tell links to other companies from links to the publisher's own site. Ani does not visit the page.
  • Name (optional). It is shown in the list of checks, the report and the PDF.

What Ani checks

Ani checks the text against Google's spam policies and the page Creating helpful, reliable, people-first content.

  • Links: anchors that are sales phrases, a link dropped into a paragraph about something else, links in the author bio, and text that only carries a link.
  • Content: praise with no useful information, padding, text that repeats common advice, generic AI phrasing, and whether facts have sources and first-hand experience.
  • Third-party content: topics often placed on other websites to borrow their reputation, and a missing author or disclosure.

What you get

  • The checked text with the fragments Ani quotes highlighted.
  • Next to it, the findings: each with a signal strength from 0 to 100, why it matters and how to fix it.
  • How to fix is written for the author and is included in the price. Ani suggests a replacement, for example a brand name instead of a sales anchor, rather than deleting the link.
  • Positive signals: what already works in the text.
  • The full report, a PDF and a share link. Your recent text checks are kept in one list.

Send it to the author or the advertiser

Send to the advertiser creates a read-only link with the text, the findings and the steps to fix, plus a short message in English or Polish that you paste into an email or a chat. Nothing is sent from AskAniela. The link does not show your organisation, projects, costs or other checks. It expires in 30 days, and you can revoke it earlier.

What a pasted text cannot show

Some checks need the published page, for example several anchors pointing to one site or labels on links and ads. In a pasted text they are listed as not applicable. When the text is live, check its address with the Content Risk Scanner. The report shows signals and what to change. It does not tell you whether to publish or buy the text.

If you publish texts from others

Publishers and editorial teams can run the same check on texts they receive, before they go live. The author gets a list of changes with quotes from their own text, so there are fewer rounds of corrections.

Through the API

The same check works through the API, for example in your order system. Details are on the API page. The price per text is on the pricing page.
