Who are the best SEO content writers for hire in 2023?
I don’t know.
There hasn't been a vote.
But I do know 8 great freelancers (not counting myself) who have a knack for writing and ranking blog content.
They’re wonderful to work with, they charge reasonable rates, and they each come equipped with an internal quality-control meter that makes them incapable of dishing out trash content.
I asked each of them to give me their elevator pitch, a list of their past clients and the services that they offer, their rates, and their contact information.
I’ve published their answers below.
Check ‘em out!

Elevator Pitch: Tina Donati has a master's degree in both journalism and communication. With this, she's able to merge engaging storytelling tactics with "traditional B2B-styled" content. By taking an investigative journalist approach, Tina goes on the hunt to source credible experts on any topic she's writing about, meaning the information in her work isn't something that can simply be discovered by 10 other articles already on Google. Tina's niche is ecommerce; she has three years in this industry. With full-time experience on both the software and agency side, she's honed her own knowledge of ecommerce to combine with what she learns from deep research.
Services Offered: Anything related to long-form writing: blog posts, case studies, ebooks, guides.
