Disclosures: conflicts of interest, sponsorship and how we make money
Rankyfy Agencies is run by Rankyfy. Agencies connected to Rankyfy or its staff are labelled on their listing, score on exactly the same five components as every other agency, and are not eligible for awards. Sponsored slots never change rank.
Who runs this site
Rankyfy Agencies is run by Rankyfy, an SEO software company. Rankyfy is responsible for every ranking, review decision and article here. Rankyfy staff do not work for any listed agency, are not paid by one and do not accept gifts from one.
A directory that sells sponsored slots and Pro plans to the agencies it lists has a commercial relationship with them. We do not claim that this site or its rankings are free of that relationship. Instead, the rules below keep money and connections out of the order.
Conflicts of interest
| Rule | Why |
|---|---|
| Any agency connected to Rankyfy or its staff is excluded from every ranking, never scored against other agencies and never wins an award. | Paying agencies need to trust the order. Search engines treat reviews a site controls about a connected business as self-serving. |
| Such an agency's profile carries no review or rating markup. | It cannot earn stars in search results through this site. |
| It may buy sponsored slots at the public rate card. Each slot is labelled "Sponsored · connected to Rankyfy". | A visible, legal lead channel, disclosed on the page where it appears. |
| Buyer briefs and agency data are walled off from any connected agency. Access is logged. | Agencies will not list with a competitor who can see their leads. |
| Sponsored slots are labelled, carry rel="sponsored" links and never change rank or score. | The order has to mean the same thing on every page. |
| This statement appears in the footer of every page and on every ranked list. | Readers should not have to look for it. |
| An advisory panel of two or three agency owners reviews the method and these rules each year. | Outside review of rules Rankyfy wrote. |
How we make money
Listing is free. We charge, in US dollars, for the products below. None of them changes a rank, a score or a review.
| Product | Price | What it buys |
|---|---|---|
| Free profile | $0 | Profile, reviews, badges, 2 buyer briefs a month. |
| Pro | $39 a month, or $390 a year | The Rankyfy toolset, profile analytics, a faster verification queue, unlimited briefs. Cancel any time. |
| Sponsored slot, India pages | $300–800 a month | A labelled position outside the ranked order, at most two per page, links marked rel="sponsored". Repriced quarterly from traffic. |
| Sponsored slot, industry, state and city pages | $200–600 a month | |
| Lead credits | $30–100 per verified brief, by budget band | Extra briefs beyond the free allowance. Invalid briefs are credited back within 7 days. |
| Award kits | At cost plus a margin | Certificates and trophies for award winners. The awards themselves are decided by score and are never sold. |
Sponsored slots are sold by the sales team, who cannot edit lists, scores or reviews. Verification is free. Rank is never for sale.
Outbound links
Links to agencies' own sites carry rel="ugc" when the agency added them and rel="sponsored" on paid tiers and paid slots. We do not sell links, exchange links or place paid mentions in guides. Badges that agencies embed on their sites link to their Rankyfy profile with the agency's name or "Rankyfy" as the anchor, never a keyword.
Data sources
Agency facts come from the agencies themselves, from company registries, from official partner directories, from Rankyfy's own crawler and rank tracker, and from public listings on sites such as Google Maps, Clutch and Semrush. We store ratings and review counts from those sites and show them on profiles. Only reviews fetched from an agency's Google profile and published by our editors count in the Rankyfy Score, alongside reviews collected here.
