We reach founders and small-business owners at the moment they are choosing brands, logos, names, and marketing tools. A limited number of sponsored and contributed placements are available.
This page may contain sponsored or paid placements. They are labelled as such. Our editorial verdicts are independent. How we work.
Sponsored placements
A clearly labelled sponsored section within a relevant guide. Editorial verdicts on the rest of the page stay independent.
Contributed articles
Genuinely useful, original guest articles that fit our topics and standards. Labelled where a commercial relationship exists.
Tool partnerships
Affiliate relationships with branding and marketing tools we would recommend on merit anyway. Always disclosed.
Who reads this site
The audience you would be reaching
KM Studio publishes a library of cited guides on branding, naming, logo design, pricing, and small-business marketing. The people who find those guides are almost always mid-decision: someone comparing logo makers, someone working out what a brand identity should cost, someone clearing a business name before they register it.
That is a narrow, high-intent audience rather than a large one. If you sell a branding or marketing tool, a legal or registration service, or anything a founder buys in the first two years of a business, the fit is direct. If you sell something unrelated to that decision, it is not, and we will tell you so rather than take the placement.
We are a young site and we do not publish traffic figures we cannot substantiate. Ask us for current numbers when you enquire and we will send what we actually have, including the pages relevant to your category.
How placements work
What a placement actually looks like
Sponsored sections sit inside a relevant guide, are labelled as sponsored at the top of the block, and are written to be useful on their own terms. The editorial verdict on the rest of the page does not change because a placement exists on it. If we rank five tools and you sponsor the page, you do not move up the ranking.
Contributed articles are original pieces from people who know a subject we do not cover well enough yet. They go through the same editorial standards as our own work: claims sourced, prices dated, no fabricated experience or invented statistics. Where the author has a commercial interest in the subject, that is stated in the byline area, not buried.
Tool partnerships are affiliate relationships with products we would recommend on merit regardless. Every page carrying affiliate links discloses them near the top, and the recommendation logic is explained rather than asserted.
Turnaround is usually two to three weeks from agreement to publication, longer if a piece needs fact-checking against primary sources.
What we will not do
The lines we hold
- We do not sell undisclosed links or pass off paid content as independent rankings.
- We do not publish thin, keyword-stuffed placements that would harm readers or our standing with search engines.
- We do not accept content that fabricates statistics or experience.
- We do not sell a position in a ranking, a review score, or a verdict. Those are editorial and they are not for sale at any price.
- We do not accept placements for products in categories we consider harmful to a small-business owner, including lending dressed up as a growth product.
These are the same rules described on our editorial standards page, and they apply to commercial relationships exactly as they apply to our own writing. If that fits how you want to work, we would love to hear from you.
