How do I know if a content is good/bad?

[rifatmahmud]

• If I hire someone, how do I know if their written content is good or bad?
• Do I have to research my competitors and compare my content with them?
• Or is there any other way to understand it?

Check the uniqueness of the content using one of those dup content checkers like Copyscape. Use Grammarly or any other grammar checking site for correct use. See how engaging the content is for the reader depending upon the price he charged. Before you engage a writer ask for his samples and if he has any live blogs to offer as samples to his content then he is serious in his work.

You can use online tools to check the uniqueness and grammar of content as @RayChand mentioned. But the thing that matters the most is "content flow". Poor quality content could be error free and unique but that doesn't serve any value to readers. If you really don't know about the quality of content then better option will be to hire editor or proofreader to make sure about the quality.

Send me the content in question and I’ll assess it free of charge.

Yes, there are tools to check the uniqueness and grammatical accuracy of the content, but unique and grammatical error free contents don't always be 100/100 or any closer to it. you need to check the relevancy of the content, how good or bad is it when compared with the topic in concern.

How engaging is it? reading the content should not get the readers bored!

Hope this was helpful!

When you hire someone content writing you must check his past works for best results.

Amazing how many focus on uniqueness while neglecting readability.

True that! Not many! For many, passing the articles through grammerly or copyscape is all that matters!

Read it like a user would as simple as that

 

[Mariluelgado]

Remember that good content or bad content on the web is determined by the search engines. What good is any content if it is not being ranked. Hence, the simple answer is getting writers that have SEO understanding. Get your content ranked online. So the best content is the one that is ranked. Good news is that Google has algorithms to conclude what is good content. Irreverent content will never be ranked.

First check with the writer's previous work. Once you receive an article check for its relevancy and make sure it adds value to users (for which they are looking for).

Tools like Grammarly and copyscape only solves uniqueness and grammar issues.

They can not tell whether content is good or bad.

You have to proof read yourself and check whether you like it or not. Whether content makes any sense or not.

 

[Logical Ranker]

Read the content to check its readability, and relevancy.

Look for good grammatical usage.

 

[SERP Bomb]

The content should be Error free, unique ,Problem solving(i.e,) Proof--------> Preview-------->Proof

 

[Furious Man]

You have to Read them or Hire a Quality trusted Writers.

 

[MicroBit-OMS]

Hire an expert even if it costs you few more bucks. Read it from the audience's perspective. If you feel ok then go for it.

2 months ago, I was looking for a copywriter to hire for my business. I uploaded a task on a website and 30-40 people done the task. What I was paying attention mostly was, how they are writing the text according to the of the copy. If you want to sell it should have some features, if you want to deliver value, some other way ... .

If the copy is about selling, it must have 3 main parts, which is known in marketing as hook, story and offer.

Also as others mentioned, use some tools to analyze their writing to find mistakes and other needed stuff connected.

You can use tools like UBERSUGGEST/https://seositecheckup.com/ then scan your site for content and seo issues and see what are the things missing on your website like content meta tags , keywords optimisation

before to hire read his past works, use copyscape to see if the content has been stolen from other side
