Disclaimers

Vetting confirms that an agency exists, that the information it gave us checks out at the time of review, and that it has signed the Code of Ethics. It is a verification of identity and stated credentials. It is not a judgment that the agency will do good work for you, and it is not a recommendation.

No listed agency guarantees results through this directory, and neither do we. Personal branding outcomes depend on factors outside any agency's control. Any agency promising a specific outcome is doing something the Code of Ethics prohibits, and you can report it.

Team size, clients served, founding year, specialties, and AI disclosures are supplied by the agencies and confirmed to the extent reasonably possible during review. We are not auditors, and we do not inspect financial records or client files. If you rely on a specific figure, ask the agency to substantiate it directly.

Information is accurate as at the time of review and may become out of date.

Ratings come from reviews by people who have confirmed they were clients. They are opinions, not findings of fact, and honest clients can reasonably disagree about the same engagement.

The PBA Power Ranking is a calculation from those ratings and review volume. It is a summary of what reviewers have said, not an assessment of quality by us. Its method is published in full so you can judge what it is worth.

Three sample listings, one for each plan (Vetted Listing, Professional, and Featured Partner), show what a listing on that plan includes. Sample listings describe no real agency. Each one carries a notice across the top of its page naming the plan it demonstrates.

The ratings, review counts, testimonials, client and team figures shown on a sample listing are illustrative. They are not verified reviews, they are not produced by the review process described on this site, and they are not a statement about any real business. Sample listings cannot be contacted, reviewed, or hired, and are excluded from search indexing and the sitemap.

Sample listings are kept apart from the directory. They do not appear in the directory, its category and city pages, the Power Ranking, Find Your Match, or site search, and they are never included in any count or total, including the number of listed agencies and the published enforcement record.

Some agencies pay for placement and presentation. Every paid placement is labeled as such wherever it appears. Payment never affects vetting approval, ratings, ranking position, or how a report about that agency is handled.

The founder listing is the directory operator's own agency. It is permanently displayed first in the directory and labeled as the founder, and it is held to every criterion. It is not featured on the home page.

Many capable agencies are not listed here, because they have not applied, are still in review, or chose not to participate. Not appearing in this directory is not a negative statement about any business.

Nothing on this site is legal, financial, or professional advice. The Code of Ethics and the vetting standard are our own editorial standards, not legal requirements, and they do not substitute for advice about your own situation.

We link to agency websites and other external pages. We do not control that content and are not responsible for it. A link is not an endorsement.
