Terms of use

These terms govern the use of agencies.rankyfy.com by visitors, buyers, reviewers and agencies. By using the site you agree to them. They are written in plain English; the privacy policy, the review policy and the ranking methodology form part of them.

Listing is free

Any agency may be listed, claim its profile and be verified at no charge. A profile can be built by our researchers from public facts and is then labelled unclaimed, with a removal link; an agency that does not want to be listed can remove it. Claiming requires proof of control of the agency's domain. Verification requires a registry match and an address check and is free; paid plans may get a faster queue, never an easier test.

Rank is never for sale

Lists are ordered by the Rankyfy Score alone. No payment, plan, sponsorship, relationship or advertising changes an agency's score or rank, and editors cannot move ranks. Sponsored slots, where sold, appear in a separate strip labelled "Sponsored", with links marked as such, at most two per page. Slots bought by an agency connected to Rankyfy carry an additional label. Awards are decided by score and are not sold.

Reviews

• Reviews must come from a real client of the agency for a project that ended within the last 24 months. They are verified by work email, LinkedIn or a call before publication, and a person reads every review within 48 hours.
• Agencies must invite every client to review, not only satisfied ones, and may not pay, reward or pressure reviewers. Fake, incentivized, insider or swapped reviews lead to suspension and a public notice.
• Negative reviews are not removed for being negative. Agencies may reply publicly or dispute a review with evidence; the moderator decides on the evidence.
• Reviewers keep the rights to their text and grant us a license to publish and quote it. Reviews may be withdrawn by the reviewer.

What agencies agree to

• Profile facts, prices, credentials and case studies are accurate and kept current; prices submitted are honored when a buyer asks.
• Badges are embedded as provided, linking to the agency's own profile with the agency's name or "Rankyfy" as the anchor text, and are removed if the status they show lapses.
• Briefs received through the site are used only to respond to that buyer, kept confidential, and answered or declined within 72 hours; unanswered leads lower the responsiveness score.
• Agencies do not scrape the site, contact reviewers outside the site, or misrepresent their rank, score or awards.

Buyers and briefs

A brief is sent to the agencies the buyer chooses or, if asked, to up to three matched agencies, after a moderation check. We do not guarantee that any agency will reply or that any engagement will succeed; the contract is between the buyer and the agency. Verified leads that turn out to be invalid are credited back to agencies on paid plans within seven days.

Paid plans and sponsorship

Pro plans are monthly or yearly, cancellable at any time, and end at the end of the paid period. Sponsored slots are sold per page and per month at the public rate card. Neither affects rank. Prices and terms are on the For agencies page.

Continuity pledge

If the service is ever shut down or sold in a way that ends it, agencies get at least 90 days' notice. Reviews can be exported at any time with their verification receipts. Badges are static images that keep working. The full text is on the continuity pledge page.

Content and links

Lists, articles and data on this site may be quoted with attribution and a link. Bulk copying, scraping or republishing is not permitted. Links to agency websites are provided for information, not as an endorsement, and sponsored links are marked.

Our conflicts, stated

Rankyfy staff do not work for any listed agency. Any agency connected to Rankyfy or its staff is excluded from rankings and awards, and any placement it buys is labelled. Sponsored slots never change rank. We do not claim that this site or its rankings are free of commercial interests; we publish the rules that contain them on the disclosure page.

Liability and law

The site is provided as is. Rankings and data are our opinion and measurements at a point in time and may contain errors; we correct them when notified. We are not liable for decisions made on the basis of the site, for the conduct of any agency or buyer, or for content submitted by users, beyond what the law does not allow us to exclude. Complaints go to the grievance officer through the contact page, are acknowledged within 24 hours and resolved within 15 days. These terms are governed by the law of the jurisdiction stated on the contact page.

Changes

We may change these terms; the date below moves when we do, and material changes are announced on the site before they take effect.
