1. Speak to the person doing the writing. In my opinion, for the best results you want a specified writer assigned to you. This keep content consistent and builds a stronger relationship between you and them. It also helps with the art of mimicing your brand's voice.
2. That you know where that writer is based and you can speak to them at any time (within reason i.e. working hours of course) via phone (or Skype). If you can't do this, then question why.
3. Ask the agency about turnaround times on amendments. For changes, I would expect 48 hours. With agencies using content mills, sometimes you might find 4 or 5 days (or longer). Depends on the content mill process.
4. Ask about lead times. A proper writing company will give you at least a week or two to read your content. But some agencies using content mills or some content mills, will only give you two days (regardless of whether it is a weekend or not.)
Hope that helps.
