Methodology
The population is the 3,460 US growth-services vendors listed in The Wall on the as-of date: marketing, SEO, creative, content, social, PR, automation, demand generation, sales, and AI marketing firms that sell to established businesses. It is a large directory, not a random sample of every US agency, and results describe it.
Public reviews are the Google Business Profile review count (profile matched by website domain) plus the Clutch review count where the record is sourced from Clutch. A vendor with no matched Google profile and no Clutch reviews counts as zero.
Every figure on this page is computed by one script from The Wall's records and is reproducible from the CSV above. Full sourcing rules: methodology. Corrections: editorial and corrections policy.
