How we built this list

  • Every fact on a firm comes from a page we opened: the firm's own site and at least two independent pages, such as Clutch, G2, a case study or press. Each card links its sources.
  • Prices are the firm's published range or minimum, with its source, or "Not public" with the date we checked.
  • Best for and Not for are our reading of each firm's size, minimum, clients and focus, not a statement from the firm.
  • Scores use one 100-point rubric on public evidence only. Opinions and relationships are shown beside a score and never change it.
  • We recheck prices and clients every quarter and log each change on the page.

The rubric, 100 points:

  • Proof of results (25 points): Public case studies with numbers, and named clients who say so on the record.
  • Fit for the list's buyer (20 points): Named clients in the category and stage the list is for.
  • Third-party reviews (15 points): Clutch, G2 or similar: count and average, dated.
  • Specialist depth (15 points): The service is core, not one line on a long menu, and the people doing it are named.
  • Transparency (15 points): Public pricing or minimums, named leadership and a clear location.
  • Current activity (10 points): Work, writing or hiring in the last 12 months.

Questions about this list

Which consultants score highest on this list?

Taylor Scher (59), Eli Schwartz (41) and Aleyda Solis (39) score highest, out of 100 on our published rubric.

Which of these consultants show a price?

A public price or minimum is on record for Taylor Scher, Aleyda Solis and Alex Birkett. Each card shows the figure and where it comes from. The others quote after a call.

How did you score these firms?

On one 100-point rubric, using public evidence only: proof of results (25), fit for the list's buyer (20), third-party reviews (15), specialist depth (15), transparency (15), current activity (10). Opinions and relationships are shown beside a score and never change it.

Did any firm pay to be on this list?

No. Green Flag Digital publishes this list, and it is our firm. It is not ranked or scored here; it sits in its own box below the list. No firm paid to appear here, and no listing was traded for a link.

Where does Green Flag Digital fit?

Green Flag Digital is a B2B SEO, AEO and digital PR firm in San Diego. It is our firm, so we do not score it here.

How often is this list updated?

We recheck prices and clients every quarter, and sooner when a firm asks for a correction. Every change goes in the update log at the foot of the page.

Each firm's card links the pages its facts come from. We also read these 5 lists by other publishers, to see who else names each firm:
