Hiring guide

What to look for in a SEO Writing freelancer

A strong SEO writer understands search intent and writes for humans first, then optimizes. Look for:

  • Search-intent thinking, matching each page to what the reader actually wants.
  • Comfort with keyword research: tools, clustering, and mapping terms to pages.
  • On-page fundamentals: headings, internal links, and metadata done without guesswork.
  • Genuinely readable writing, so optimized pages still sound natural.
  • Samples that ranked, ideally with traffic or position results they can point to.

Ask for one piece they wrote and the outcome it drove. A writer who tracks results thinks past the word count.
