Description
Consolety is a verified guest post exchange network for WordPress. Every site must verify ownership through Google Search Console, ensuring you exchange content with real websites that have real traffic.
Earn points by hosting guest posts. Spend points to publish on other verified sites. No money changes hands between publishers.
How It Works
- Connect & Verify – Install the plugin and link your Google Search Console via OAuth. Google confirms you own the domain.
- Discover Publishers – Browse verified publishers filtered by niche, language, and traffic.
- Exchange Content – Write guest posts with the built-in editor and submit to partners. Host content to earn points.
Features

- Filter by niche category, subcategory, language, and traffic tier
- Built-in WYSIWYG editor with word count validation and link detection
- Revision system with host feedback
- Campaign marketplace for pre-written articles
- Automated daily backlink monitoring

FAQ
-
Do I need a Google account?
-
Yes. Google Search Console verification is required to prove site ownership and retrieve traffic metrics.
-
Is guest posting safe for SEO?
-
Yes. Guest posting with quality content on relevant, verified sites is a legitimate SEO strategy supported by Google’s guidelines.
-
Is this a link exchange scheme?
-
No. The points system prevents reciprocal linking. You earn points hosting for one publisher and spend them publishing on a different site.
-
How does verification work?
-
Through Google Search Console OAuth. Google confirms you are the legitimate owner of your domain. Unlike Domain Authority, GSC ownership cannot be faked.
-
Can I control what I receive?
-
Yes. You set minimum word count, link limits, AI content policy, forbidden niches, and custom instructions.
-
What happens when I approve a post?
-
The guest post is created as a WordPress draft. You review it before publishing. It appears as a regular blog article.
-
Do I have to pay?
-
No. The Free tier works without payment.
-
Can I disconnect?
-
Yes. Go to Dashboard and click Disconnect. Published posts remain since they are regular WordPress posts.
