General

What is WEBZINEworld?
A network of local webzines, each dedicated to one city, country or region, with a directory of local businesses and Local Guides for every region. Today there are eight webzines: Morocco, Dubai, the EU, London, New York, Singapore, Tokyo and India. By 2030 we aim for 24.
Who runs the network?
NOOR & NOOR SARL AU, a Belgian-run communications agency based in Morocco.
Is it free to read?
Yes. Everything on our webzines is free to read, and you do not need to register.
Can I suggest a story or contribute?
Yes. We welcome tips, story ideas and guest contributions, subject to editorial review. Use the contact page.
I found a mistake in an article. How do I report it?
Write to us via the contact page. We check every report and correct confirmed errors promptly.
In which languages can I read the webzines?
Every article is written in English and translated into the languages of our readers.

Local Guides

What are the Local Guides?
A curated guide to the best places in each region: where to eat, stay, shop and visit, plus local services. Shops and services are listed in our own directory. For restaurants, hotels, nightlife and activities we point you to trusted partners.
How do I find a business?
Open the Local Guides, choose a region or city, and then a category. For shops and services you find our directory listings first.
How do I get my business listed?
Listings are for shops and services. Contact us and we send you the link to add your business.
Is a listing free?
Yes, a FREE listing costs nothing. For more visibility there are two paid options. A PRO listing adds all your photos, social links and a full profile for 365 days. A FEATURED listing is permanently pinned to the top of your category.
Which language should I use for my listing?
English gives the best international visibility, but any language is fine. Submit your listing once only.
Will people in other countries see my listing?
Yes. Listings are translated automatically, at no extra cost, so visitors read them in their own language. Your original text stays unchanged and updates carry over to the translations.
What if a translation is not perfect?
Automatic translation makes your listing accessible to everyone. For the best result, write clear, simple sentences.
Will my listing appear in Google in other languages?
Yes. Your listing can be indexed in several languages, which increases your international reach.
Who decides which businesses are listed?
Every submission goes through editorial review. We list legitimate shops and services that are relevant to the market and its readers, and we may decline listings that do not meet our standards.

For advertisers

How are your backlinks different from a link farm?
They come from active magazines with real readers and real editorial content. Every link is placed inside a relevant article, never in footers, sidebars or author bios. All links are DoFollow, permanent and compliant with Google guidelines.
Do you accept every industry?
Most of them, as long as your products and services are legal in Morocco. Contact us to check your niche.
Can competitors advertise on the same webzine?
Yes. We do not offer exclusivity.
Are sponsored articles permanent?
Yes. A sponsored article stays online and keeps bringing organic traffic and SEO value, long after a banner campaign would have ended.
Who writes the sponsored article?
We can write it for you, optimized for your keywords and in the voice of the webzine, or you can send your own text for review and formatting. You always approve it before publication.
Who owns the article after publication?
We keep the copyright, and you may republish the article on your own channels.
Can I promote several products in one article?
Yes.
Do I book one webzine or the whole network?
Either. Book one webzine for one market, or a multi-webzine package for a wider reach. Network packages cost less than the sum of single bookings.
What reporting do I get?
For sponsored articles: page views, time on page and referral traffic. For display advertising: impression and placement reports.
How long does it take?
Your tailored quote includes a timeline based on your project.
Are there discounts?
Yes. Combining two or more products gives 25% off the total. We also prepare a tailored quote for longer commitments.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
We follow international advertising standards. Once a service has been delivered, we do not give refunds.
How do I get started?
