I would be extremely unlikely to outsource. I doubt if any keyworder knows the vernacular and scientific names for a lot of the species I photograph.
Plus, I had a photo mirrored to Getty recently. It was a photo of a Puffin with sandeels which I had keyworded fish and food and somehow when it arrived at Getty 'seafood' had been added. Insanity.
No way. I don't trust anyone else.

Why - Because your native language is not English.

Where - A company that's based in a country who's native language is English.

Anything other than the above would be a total waste of money.

I Would Use Anywhere That They Don't Use Capital Letters For Every Word In A Sentence.

I've actually had a look at these guys' website and they seem to be a lot more professional than a lot of the outfits we have had on here from India. Plus they are supporting MSG with paid ads. Maybe I have been too quick to judge.

Thumbs up to them for supporting MSG, that's great.  But I still don't understand why they're asking us to do their research work for them in another thread here.

Maybe they should outsource their forum researching ?

They are posing their advertizement as a question so that they don't get shot down for flogging their service.
