The one thing we can tell you about SEO UK writing companies: You're never going to get high quality SEO work without native English speaking writers who are qualified and can deliver great content on time.
That said, how do you GET a great writer? Well... Read on...
Word Rates
If you want good English writing, again, you need a good English writer. That's sort of the moral of the story for today. But, you should also make sure that, amongst all the good English companies out there, you're going with one that can back it up. So, look for word rates in the two to three cents range. At a penny or so per word, you can expect to get just what you pay for. Most qualified companies will charge about two or three cents a word.
Writing Samples
You absolutely need to look at some samples. Make sure their actual writing is up to snuff, that it reads well, that it provides good, readable content. Put it through copyscape and make sure it's not plagiarized, etc. Just check all your angles when looking at samples, and most importantly: If you find it boring or hard to read, your readers will, too. You're putting your company's name on this stuff, so don't risk your reputation.
Email Correspondence
You'll be doing business via email, so you'll want to see how they conduct themselves there. Are they polite and courteous? Can they give you straight answers to all your questions? If they can barely write a legible email, chances are they can't write SEO too good, neither. Look for well written emails if you want well written articles.
References
There are dozens of sites on the web where you can find client reviews of writing companies. This is really key, since you want to know that the company isn't just putting on a good face for you, and that they can, in fact, deliver high quality work in a timely fashion. When you're done, you can return to these sites and give the company a review of your own.
Category of Project
Different companies specialize in different types of writing. A simple SEO article is easy to get from just about anyone, but not all companies do academics, eBooks, reviews, blogs or ghost writing. Find a company that specializes in what you need done, because they probably know that type of writing about as well as anyone.
Rewrites
You might not be one hundred percent satisfied with the first pass. Most companies will offer one or two rewrites. A company that doesn't offer any sort of rewrites at all is one you want to stay away from. It's a given that the writer isn't psychic and might not be able to know exactly what you're going for, and it's not uncommon that you have to bang the kinks out a bit here and there, so look for a company that takes enough pride in their work that they'll be willing to have another go at it if you're not completely satisfied.
Payment
Half up front, half at the end, or, pay in thirds. These are the only real payment plans you can trust with most SEO companies. A business that wants it all up front... Well, you're taking something of a risk if it's a larger project.
