Short answer for : you may mention your services, but treat article submissions as helpful, non‑promotional content rather than an ad. Quality directories often reject salesy copy or in‑body commercial links; the safe place for a short promotion is the author/resource box (and only if the site allows it). If your main aim is mass link-building rather than educating readers, Google and publishers will flag that behavior. Google Search Central blog and the history of Panda show why blanket article blasts are low ROI. (developers.google.com)

Why this matters: Google explicitly calls out “link schemes” and gives examples such as buying/selling links, excessive link exchanges, and large‑scale article/guest‑post campaigns that use keyword‑rich anchors. Those patterns can lead to devaluation or manual action — so article marketing used primarily to manipulate rankings is risky. See Google’s spam/link guidance and summary coverage of link‑scheme types. Google Search Central – Spam policies · Ahrefs explainer on link schemes. ()

Practical checklist (do this before you submit):

  • Read the directory’s submission rules (as advised). Follow them exactly.
  • Make the article genuinely useful: teach, solve a problem, show examples or workflow. Don’t write ad copy.
  • Put any site link where the host allows it (author/resource box is common). Use branded or neutral anchor text, not keyword‑stuffed anchors.
  • For paid or clearly sponsored placements insist on rel="sponsored" (or nofollow/ugc where appropriate). Treat links transparently.
  • Avoid copying the same article everywhere — adapt or publish unique versions so you don’t trigger duplication/low‑quality filters.
  • Prefer targeted placements on relevant, authoritative sites (or PR/HARO) over mass directory blasts.

For the short term: if the goal is leads, focus on one strong placement that serves the audience. If the goal is SEO, prioritize earning editorial links and useful content rather than trying to “advertise” inside article directories. (developers.google.com)

This does not go with the rules and regulations of article submission websites. But, you can promote the products and services you offer.
