This expansion will provide unprecedented opportunities for businesses to reach international audiences while maintaining local relevance.
Who runs the network?
NOOR & NOOR SARL AU, a Belgian-run international communications agency based in Morocco.
Can I submit content or suggest a story?
Yes. Contact the editorial team through the contact page of the relevant webzine. We welcome tips, story ideas, and guest contributions — subject to editorial review.
Do WEBZINEworld offer newsletters?
Only GUSTOwebzine has its own newsletter. Sponsorship options range from a primary above-the-fold placement (one sponsor per issue) to secondary mentions and fully branded dedicated e-blasts sent from the webzine’s trusted domain.
FAQs about the Readers Club
What is the Readers Club?
A gamified loyalty program on each webzine. Members register, read articles, leave comments, collect stars, and earn gifts from partner brands. It creates the most engaged audience segment on the platform — ideal for brands that want deeper interaction than a banner ad can deliver.
Is it free to read the articles?
Yes. Most content is freely accessible. Some exclusive articles and features can be reserved for Readers Club members.
Do I need to register to read the articles?
No. You can browse freely. But registering (free) lets you collect points, earn badges, save articles, and access the Readers Club rewards.
I found incorrect information in an article. How do I report it?
Use the contact page on the relevant webzine. We take editorial accuracy seriously and will review and correct confirmed errors promptly.
FAQs about the Local Guides
What is the Local Guide?
The Local Guide is your trusted companion for exploring each destination we feature. It’s a carefully curated directory showcasing the best local businesses—from restaurants and hotels to nightlife, shopping, and activities. Consider it your essential resource for discovering authentic, reliable services in every market we cover.
How do I find a business?
Browse by category — Services, Restaurants, Hotels, Nightlife, Shopping, or Activities — on the Local Guide page of any webzine. You can also use the central directory on WEBZINEworld, which covers all markets.
Is the Local Guide the same on every webzine?
Every webzine has its own Local Guide with businesses relevant to that specific market. The central directory on WEBZINEworld brings all markets together in one place. Local webzines link to the central directory for the full overview.
I own a business. How do I get listed?
Submit your business through the “Add Listing” form on the Local Guide page of the relevant webzine. A standard listing includes your business name, contact information, brief description, and category placement.
Is a standard listing free?
Yes. Any business can submit a standard listing at no cost. For more visibility, two paid upgrades are available: a Featured listing gives you a “Featured” badge, extended description, photo gallery, direct website link, and priority placement above standard listings. A Sticky listing is the premium tier — permanently pinned to the top of your category, with everything in Featured plus a dedicated profile page, optional category exclusivity, and cross-promotion in related editorial articles.
What is the difference between a Featured and a Sticky listing?
A Featured listing gives you a badge, and priority placement above standard listings. A Sticky listing adds permanent top-of-category placement, a dedicated profile page, optional category exclusivity, and cross-promotion in editorial articles.
Which language should I use when submitting my listing?
For best international visibility, English is recommended. However, you may submit your listing in any language you prefer.
Will my listing be visible to people in other countries and languages?
Yes. Listings are automatically translated, allowing international visitors to view your business in their own language.
Can I submit my listing in multiple languages?
No. Please submit your content only once. Duplicate listings in different languages are not necessary and may be rejected.
How do translations work?
Your original listing remains unchanged. Translated versions are generated automatically for visitors based on their language settings.
Can I edit my listing after publishing?
Yes. You can update your listing at any time. The translations will automatically reflect your changes.
What if the automatic translation is not perfect?
Automatic translations provide international accessibility. For best results, use clear and simple language in your original submission.
Is there any extra cost for translations?
No. Automatic translation is included and free of charge for all listings.
Will my listing appear in Google in different languages?
Yes. Your listing can be indexed in multiple languages, increasing your international visibility and reach.
Who decides which businesses get listed?
All submissions go through editorial review. We list legitimate businesses that are relevant to the webzine’s market and readership. We reserve the right to decline listings that don’t meet our quality standards.
FAQs for Advertisers
What makes your backlinks different from a link farm?
Our backlinks come from active, content-rich magazines with real readership and genuine editorial content. Every link is contextually placed within relevant articles — no footers, sidebars, or author bios. All links are DoFollow, permanent, and Google guidelines compliant.
Do you accept all industries/niches, or are there any restrictions?
We work with most industries, provided the products and services are legal in Morocco. Contact us to discuss your specific niche and we’ll let you know if we’re a good fit.
Can competitors advertise on the same webzine simultaneously?
Yes. We don’t offer exclusivity arrangements, so competitors may advertise on the same platform.
Are sponsored articles permanent?
Yes. Every sponsored article stays live indefinitely. Unlike social media ads or display banners that stop the moment your budget runs out, a sponsored article continues generating organic traffic and SEO authority over time.
How do you ensure content quality and editorial integrity?
All sponsored articles are created by professionals and sent to you for approval before publication, ensuring quality and alignment with your expectations.
What happens if my article doesn't meet editorial standards?
We’ll work with you to revise the content until it meets our quality standards and aligns with our editorial guidelines.
Who owns the content after publication?
We retain the copyright of all published sponsored content. However, you have full rights to republish the article on your own platforms and channels. This means you can use the content freely for your marketing purposes while it remains live on our network.
Can I supply my own sponsored article or do you write it?
Both. Our editorial team can write your sponsored article from scratch, optimized for your target keywords and matched to the webzine’s editorial voice. You can also supply your own content — we’ll review and format it for publication.
Can I promote multiple products/services in one article?
Yes, you can feature multiple products or services within a single sponsored article.
What is the typical turnaround time for a sponsored article?
We’ll provide you with a specific timeline in your tailored quote, based on the scope and requirements of your project.
Can I advertise on one webzine or do I have to book the whole network?
Both. You can book any single webzine to target one specific market, or book a multi-webzine package through WEBZINEworld for broader reach. Network-wide packages are priced below the sum of individual bookings.
What reporting do I get?
For sponsored articles: page views, time-on-page, and referral traffic data. For display advertising: impression and placement reports. For newsletter sponsorship: open rates and click data.
Are there discounts for longer commitments?
We create a tailored quote for every collaboration, taking into account your specific needs in both content and duration. Contact us to discuss a proposal that fits your requirements.
What is your cancellation or refund policy?
We follow international advertising standards. No refunds are provided once services have been rendered.
How do I get started?
Contact us with your campaign goals, target market(s), and approximate budget. We respond with a tailored proposal within 48 hours. Reach us through the contact page on any webzine in the network.
