Best Blog and Article Writers

We may earn a commission if you hire through links on this page, at no extra cost to you. How we choose picks.

A good article answers a reader's question better than the pages already ranking for it, in your brand's voice. Most disappointing orders come from a one-line brief, unclear rules on AI use, or text copied from other sites. This guide shows you how to order posts you can publish with confidence.

We are finalizing our shortlist for this service. Until then, the guide below walks you through how to evaluate sellers yourself.

What a good article package includes

Article and blog gigs are usually priced by length and number of posts. Beyond the word count, check that the package states:

Length per article, and whether it is a minimum or a range.
Topic research: whether the writer chooses sources or works only from your notes.
Search basics: target phrase, headings, a title and meta description.
Originality: a plagiarism check, and the writer's policy on AI tools.
Revisions: how many rounds, and what counts as a revision versus a rewrite.
Format: a document, or uploaded straight into your website.
Images: whether they are included, and where they come from.

How to brief a writer

The brief is where most of the quality comes from. For each article, send:

The reader: who they are and what they already know.
The question the article must answer, and the main search phrase if you have one.
The goal: what the reader should do after reading, such as book a call or read a product page.
Points that must be included, and your own experience or opinions the writer cannot find online.
Tone and style, with a link to an article you like.
Sources to use or avoid, including competitors you do not want to link to.
Pages on your site the article should link to.

For a series of posts, write a short style sheet once and reuse it: spelling (US or UK English), how to refer to your company and products, words to avoid, and how to format headings and lists. It saves a revision round on every article.

What drives the price

length and number of articles
how technical the subject is, such as medical, legal or finance topics
research depth, interviews and original examples
search optimization and keyword research
images, uploading and formatting in your website
the writer's experience in your field, and rush delivery

Red flags

Very long articles delivered very fast at a very low price, with no stated policy on AI use.
Samples that are generic, repetitive or full of claims with no sources.
Text that fails a plagiarism check or matches other sites.
Promises of first-page search rankings. Writing alone cannot guarantee that.
No samples in your subject area when the topic is technical.

Articles bring the most search traffic when they are part of a plan. Our SEO guide explains how to hire for keyword research and on-site work.

FAQ

Can the writer use AI tools?

Some writers use AI for research or drafts, others do not use it at all. Decide what you accept, say so in the brief, and ask the writer to confirm before ordering. Whatever the process, the facts must be checked and the text must be original.

Will the articles be optimized for search?

Only if you ask. Give the writer the main search phrase and the question the reader has. Many writers also add headings, a meta description and internal link suggestions.

Who owns the article?

Normally the buyer receives the rights once the order is complete, but confirm it. Also ask whether the writer wants to show the piece in their portfolio, and whether you mind.

How do I check the article is original?

Run it through a plagiarism checker before publishing, and search a few exact sentences in a search engine. Also check every fact, number and quote against a reliable source.

Should I order one article or a package?

Start with one article to test the writer's research, style and speed. If it works, a package of several posts on a plan is usually easier to manage.
