It goes without saying that you want a native English speaking writer for your SEO work. So when you go with an SEO UK or US company how do you decide who to hire?
Well it comes down to a few simple things…
Rates
Most qualified SEO companies will charge you two or three cents a word. Some projects may require a bit more or a bit less, but typically, a company charging less than a penny a word… Well, you’ll get exactly what you pay for. The good companies can afford to charge a bit more than the rest since they offer the best quality results, whereas a lousy writer can’t really move far up from the food chain from a half a cent per word.
Samples
There are foreign copy writing companies that don’t hire anyone who speaks English at all, much less someone who speaks it well. If you want to pay bottom dollar for your writing, you may as well copy and paste pages out of the dictionary and throw some keywords in there, because the finished result will be about as coherent and sell your product just as well as these spam-speak articles will. So read the samples, put them through copyscape and make sure they qualify as good web content.
Emails
When you email with the representative, are they polite? Do they answer your questions? Do they write well? If they can’t write a coherent email, they probably can’t write great web content, either. Pay attention to what they say and how they say it, because that’s a direct reflection of what they can do for you when it comes to providing web content.
Reviews
Read some reviews online of various writing companies and see who comes out on top. You want to make sure you’re working with a company with a long history of satisfied clientele.
Category of Project
Every company really has its own specialty. Most will do SEO articles, but if you want something else done, you need to look for a company that specializes in exactly what you want done, be it eBooks, ghost writing, blogs, whatever it is, find a company that knows that side of the business better than anyone.
Rewrites
You might not be one hundred percent satisfied with the first pass. Most companies will offer one or two rewrites. A company that doesn’t offer any sort of rewrites at all is one you want to stay away from. It’s a given that the writer isn’t psychic and might not be able to know exactly what you’re going for, and it’s not uncommon that you have to bang the kinks out a bit here and there, so look for a company that takes enough pride in their work that they’ll be willing to have another go at it if you’re not completely satisfied.
The Pay
With most good SEO companies, you’ll be paying half up front and half later, or else you’ll be paying in thirds. Not many companies charge the full price up front, because they know that they have a responsibility to deliver something before they get paid. Look for a company with a reliable payment plan in place.
