Many companies may not have this information readily available, and it may seem a little unorthodox to ask them a barrage of questions along these lines before you've even started working with them, but this is your money, and it's important that you are satisfied with the work you are receiving.
The Internet marketing realm is wrought with scams and poor quality work, and there is no point in investing your money into an article marketing campaign if it's not going to provide you with high quality, timely, unique material that you can use over and over again.
You want content that you can be proud of; and like any business interaction, you want people that are easy to work with. Don't settle for anything less than an article marketing service that is full of people who are sincerely dedicated to helping you achieve success.
