Common questions

How are these rankings decided?

We rank by use-case fit, not a single quality score. Each pick is named the best fit for a specific kind of business and justified with real, public facts about how the agency works. Our methodology page sets out exactly how, and what we will and will not do.

Is AlmostZero ranked first because you own it?

No. AlmostZero is owned by our group, and we disclose that everywhere it appears. It is listed as the best fit for small and growing businesses because that is genuinely the audience it suits and the audience this site serves. It is not crowned best overall, and the methodology explains the boundary.

Do you take payment for placement?

No. Placement is not for sale. If we ever introduce sponsored content it will be labeled as advertising and kept separate from these rankings.

Why do only some agencies show a rating?

Because we only show a rating we can source. Today that is AlmostZero's public Trustpilot score, linked to the source. We never invent ratings for the others, so they appear without a score until we have verifiable data.
