Methodology

• Dataset: all marketing agencies listed on Pick an Agency, filtered to categories with 100+ agencies.
• Ratings: average of each agency's overall_rating, excluding ratings below 2.0 (which usually signal missing data on legacy imports).
• Fair comparison: every rating is weighted equally across agencies so a category with a few heavyweights can't dominate.
• Refresh: updated daily from our live database.
