Why I built this

I've spent years evaluating marketing and SEO vendors, and I got tired of the same pattern: every "best AI SEO agency" list written by a company that also sells the exact service, ranking itself near the top. So I built the list I wished existed — one where I have nothing to sell and no reason to rank anyone but who earns it.

This site is a work in progress. I'm researching agencies one at a time, checking claims against multiple public sources, and saying so plainly when I can't confirm something rather than guessing or hiding the gap.

How I evaluate agencies

Every agency gets sorted by specialization tier, checked against public sources like reviews, case studies, and press, and labeled honestly wherever the evidence is thin. The full process is on the methodology page, and how tiers work specifically is on the tier breakdown.
