SearchInfluence

A trusty team of writers maintains a near-constant flow of content here at SI, and we’re constantly looking for ways to streamline the process and turn out the most polished, engaging and effective product for our clients.

To that end, we are implementing a grading scale for the raw material turned in by our freelancers. While we do have copy-editors in place to read for errors and optimization, it’s simply the best practice to turn in the most well-worked pieces possible to begin with in order that they can polish the final result into the best it can be.
