Looking to Outsource an Article but not sure what to include...

Hey guys,

I'm looking to get a few articles outsourced that are rich in keywords as well as quality Content.

My impasse is making sure I ask for the right things before making any purchases. Let's say as an example I need an article written on how to find wild mushrooms.

When I talk to my potential writer, how do I explain what I want the Keywords to be and the LSI to be? How do I explain I want a 2-4% keyword density as well as the most effect SEO friendly format (as well as reader friendly!) they can do?

I know I may have answered my own question, but it's a legit question I have. Do I say something like:

"I need an article on how to find wild mushrooms. I need the focus to be around the keyword, "find wild mushrooms". As well as LSI's of "How to find wild mushrooms, wild mushroom locations etc. etc."

Sorry if this post seems daft, I just need some helpful advice.

    Let the writer know what keywords you want him to use and which keyword density to focus on. Send him the list of keywords that you want to target. He can use a free tool to check the keyword density for each post.

    As a writer, I tend to go back and forth with my clients before I even give them a price. I want to make sure I fully understand what the client is asking for.

    Here's the information I typically end up getting before I get started:
    • Title? (if I'm not making it up)
    • Length?
    • Keyword(s)?
    • What's it going to be used for?
    • Do you have any examples?
    • SEO or Syndication Quality? (aka keyword driven or reader driven?)
    • Do you care if it's Penguin-proof or not?
    As I get the answers to those questions, I might ask more questions, or I might just take the job and run with it.

    Does that help at all?

      I'm just starting out. The 2-4% was more of a generalization. I've read anywhere from 1% to 4% when it comes to density. For articles 700 words or less I imagine that a 1-2% density is good whereas articles that are 700 - 1000+ words, a density of 3-4% would be fine without making it "hurt" the readers eyes. I would love to hear feed back on this though. I am no expert.
