    Freelancer submitted two draft articles, which we both paid for. The articles were not SEO friendly and were lacking appropriate headings, articles were not making use of common words and phrases related to the subject and with that were not user friendly from a search engine perspective. I feel that the freelancer should have researched those words and phrases using a keyword tool prior to writing the articles. Article was over laden with key words. Target audience not understood by freelancer, had the freelancer done some research into our company then she would have understood our target market better. Furthermore, freelancer is not native English speaker, which is not a problem and we were aware of prior to starting the work. Unfortunately, the fact that English is the freelancer’s second language, shone through in the articles submitted.
    Articles submitted in a timely fashion though.
