Has your writer ranked you first page on Google?

I've never had a writer from WF rank a page of mine on the first page for a competitive term. I've hired a lot of writers here and haven't found any that I feel write better than I do myself. But, of course, I have a bias, and prefer analytical writing over entertaining fluff. There are definitely good writers here, but there is also a direct relationship between price and quality. If you have a very tight budget it can be difficult. The problem is that the writers that can produce content that will rank are expensive - as they should be. If you try to minimize your content creation expenses then you end up with fluff, keyword stuffing and generally undesirable content. If you're in an off-the-wall niche it is even harder to find good writers that will put the time in to research your subject sufficiently. I usually end up writing everything myself or spending a lot of time re-writing what the writer produced which isn't very efficient.
