Curated, not crowdsourced

The agency directory that vets first, lists second.

Every other directory lets agencies write their own profile and pay to rank. We don't. We research every agency from public record through a category-specific process, then write the honest snippet ourselves. No endless lists. No self-praise. Just the ones that earned it.

Every agency manually reviewed Zero self-written profiles Independent, honest snippets
Why we exist

The internet is drowning in fake "best agency" lists

Most directories rank whoever pays the most and let agencies grade their own homework. We flipped the model: every agency is researched from public record and listed free. Position is earned through review, never bought.

Vetted, not volunteered

We review each agency ourselves. Their sales team doesn't get to write the profile you read.

Curated, not endless

A short, defensible shortlist per category — not 500 near-identical listings you have to re-vet.

Process per category

Each niche gets its own checklist, tuned to what actually predicts good work in that category.

Free to be listed

We research and list agencies whether they engage or not. Money never buys a place, a position, or a better score.

How we vet

A real process behind every badge

We don't take the agency's word for anything. We check the work, talk to real clients, verify results, and test how they actually respond to an inquiry. Only then do we write the snippet — in our voice, not theirs.

Each category runs its own checklist, because vetting a Casino SEO team isn't the same as vetting an Amazon PPC team. Every check is answered from public record.

For agencies

Already researched, or ready to be

Listing is free. We research agencies from public record whether they engage with us or not, so you may already be on a list. Claim your profile to add a direct link to your site, your own materials, and enquiry routing.

What money never buys: your position, your score, or the verdict we write. Those stay editorial, always. Anything paid is labelled where it appears.

The Verified badge

Earned through our independent review, never sold. Verification stays free and editorial.

Good questions

The honest FAQ

Do agencies pay to be listed?+
No. Every agency is researched from public record and listed free, whether they engage with us or not. Agencies can claim a profile to add a direct link and their own materials, which is labelled on the listing — but position, score and the verdict are always ours and never for sale.
Why don't you just list every agency?+
Because an endless list is useless — it's the exact problem we're solving. We'd rather show you a short, defensible shortlist we can stand behind than hundreds of listings you have to re-vet yourself.
What makes your process different per category?+
Vetting a Casino SEO team, an Amazon PPC team, and a crypto marketing agency requires different questions. Each category has its own checklist, built around what actually predicts good work in that niche and answered from public record.
Which countries do you cover?+
We're starting category-first and global. Amazon PPC is live now, with Franchise SEO, Casino SEO, Crypto, Real Estate and more in research. Country-specific pages are on the roadmap.
