Search Engine Optimization Company Rankings

Our SEO company rankings are derived from a proprietary score that we calculate based on a variety of data points. We do not publicly share the weight that we give to each data point as to not allow SEO companies the chance to manipulate our rankings. We do however share what data points we use to calculate our scores.

Some of the things that we use in our scoring are current rankings from 3 different SEO Company rating services, on-page quality score of the SEO firm’s homepage, backlink quality score for the firm’s own website, a visibility score on how well the company ranks for the keywords that they are targeting, number of media mentions, quality of client list, mystery shopping, and contribution to the SEO community through blogging and conference appearances.
