Every agency score on Top Sales Agencies is produced by a grounded multi-agent AI pipeline that reads publicly available evidence — not by salespeople, not by paid placement, not by self-reported questionnaires. This page explains exactly what we measure and how.
This is public-source desk research, not hands-on client experience. Review platforms report the experiences of their contributors, not ours. Inclusion in a source, directory, or ranking is not a customer endorsement. Buyers should verify current scope, pricing, and fit directly with an agency before signing a contract.
We never fabricate data. If a fact about an agency is not publicly verifiable — if no credible source confirms it — it stays null and the UI shows "Not publicly listed." An unknown fact shown as unknown is more useful to a buyer than a plausible-sounding number with no basis.
This rule applies everywhere: headcount figures are clamped to verifiable ranges, pricing values require a cited source, and AI-reported counts (e.g. review totals) are verified against the platform's own counters before being stored.
Each agency is evaluated across five dimensions. Every dimension produces a score from 0–100. A weighted average of the available dimension scores produces the overall score (0–100). If a dimension cannot be evaluated — for example, a new agency with no reviews yet — it is excluded from the average rather than counted as zero, so thin data doesn't unfairly penalise agencies.
Does the agency have a professional, fast, mobile-friendly website with clearly articulated service pages, case study evidence, and transparent team/contact information?
Does the agency rank for B2B service keywords relevant to their category? Do they produce thought-leadership content that demonstrates domain expertise?
BBB accreditation and letter grade, review volume and recency across all platforms, how the agency responds to complaints, and years in operation.
Team size and LinkedIn presence, published case studies, industry awards or recognition, and press mentions.
Weighted average star rating across all review platforms (weighted by review count so a platform with 1,000 reviews counts more than one with 3).
Weights are relative: the raw weights sum to 85, and the overall score is the weighted mean of whichever dimensions were evaluable. A company with all five dimensions at 100 scores 100.
Our pipeline reads from these platforms to build each profile:
B2B software & service review platform
B2B ratings & reviews for agencies
Open consumer & business review platform
Business software & services directory
Google Maps reviews
Accreditation, complaints & ratings
All data is read from public pages only. We do not use private APIs, data brokers, or paid data partnerships. Source availability varies by company, so a missing platform or field means we could not verify it publicly; it does not prove the underlying fact is false.
Each agency profile is produced by a sequential multi-agent pipeline:
Profiles are currently generated on demand — when a user submits a company URL via the Generate a Report flow, or when maintainers queue a batch update. When a profile's source record includes an update date, we display that date on the profile rather than inventing a freshness label.
Top Sales Agencies does not accept payment for rankings, scores, or profile placement. Agencies cannot purchase a higher score. Agencies can claim their profile to add verified information, but any self-reported data is labelled as such and does not directly influence the AI-computed score. If you believe a score is inaccurate, email hello@topsalesagencies.com with evidence and we will review it.
