We're looking for an SEO content writer — what does this role actually do, and how should I evaluate candidates?

Use a standardized brief template when assigning work to a writer. It should include: primary keyword, secondary terms, target persona, target word count, internal linking requirements, and any technical jargon to avoid.

Almost everyone bidding 25-30 kuruş a word just types a single prompt into an AI tool and copy-pastes the output. In a zero-tolerance field like accounting regulations, those articles will completely wreck your brand's credibility.

On the B2B fintech side, we hired a specialized writer around 1.20 TL per word. We pay about 9.600 TL a month for 8 articles. After six months, our organic inbound demo requests jumped from 12 to 47 per month. Cheap content isn't a cost saver, it's pure wasted time.

Before hiring anyone, pay them to do a 500-word test piece. Pick a tricky topic from current regulations. That's the best way to see how well they cite sources and handle industry terminology.

accounting is super tricky tbh. if someone writes it without even knowing the difference between e-fatura and e-arşiv any sme owner reading will bounce immediately. find a writer with technical domain knowledge.

If you want a long-term relationship with a writer, establish a solid feedback loop. If you clearly explain what you changed and why on the first two drafts everything gets ten times easier from the third piece onward.

Run this checklist on every delivery: 1) Are headings framed around questions and solutions? 2) Are paragraphs short enough for mobile readability? 3) Are there factual errors or outdated regulatory references?

There are still people out there who think SEO means stuffing 3% keyword density into an article like it's 2010. Neither search engines nor human readers fall for that stuff anymore.

I've been dealing with this for a long time. Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.

Valuation methods for exits must be defined by formula; "market value" isn't enough.

I agree with this. Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Generally correct, but one part is missing. anyway processes without records never improve, because you dont know what to fix.

Correct in theory, but it doesn't work that way in practice. The only thing separating friendship from partnership is a written contract.

A partnership without a payment schedule locks up at the first split. Of course, it varies if your situation is different.
