I ordered an 1100-word silver-package article here (Order #1175).
Received a 1226-word article in eight days.
I'd say it's 6/10. I won't use it on my money site or as a guest post for high-quality platforms. But it will do for any other purposes.
I. Structure: Decent
- Divided into subheadlines
- Had a few lists
- Some subheadlines contained mistakes
- One of the subheadlines was redundant
- Incorrect title case usage
II. Readability: Fairly readable
- Short paragraphs
- No lengthy sentences
- Sometimes lacking transitions
- Some cases of redundant phrases
- I deleted three sentences because they repeated what was said earlier in the text
- Some word choice issues like using "furnish" instead of "provide" or "feuds" instead of "disputes"
III. Grammar: Above average
It's evident that the text was not written by a native speaker, but I didn't expect anything like that, considering the price.
There was an issue with the word "will" as in "last will," meaning a document. For some reason, after each instance, they put "be" after this word. I assume they have a person or a bot check the text with Grammarly or a similar service and accept all suggestions without reviewing them. In my case, the checking tool they used didn't recognize the word "will" as a document but as an auxiliary verb instead.
The incorrect usage of "which" instead of "that" is also a common occurrence.
There were some punctuation mistakes, such as the incorrect usage of En-dashes where you would use Em-dashes or just commas.
IV. Veracity: Had some issues
There were three false statements. But in terms of overall factuality, it was OK.
V. Adherence to my instructions: Had minor issues
I indicated that I needed AmE, a meta description, the text to be written in purely informative style, two links to .edu or .gov resources, a specific word within the first 200 words, and a uniqueness threshold by a specific tool.
- One of the links wasn't relevant to the anchor.
- The word I requested wasn't included within the first 200 words.
Everything else was adhered to.
VI. SEO: N/A
I didn't aim to get, nor did I need an optimized text in this case, so I can't provide any meaningful feedback here.
My recommendations to those ordering here:
- Provide your own structure in terms of headlines if it matters to you.
- Provide a style guide to follow (either your own or one of the standard formatting styles).
