Getting listed on BestAdAgency is free. A free company profile includes a profile page, eligibility for every relevant ranking, and verified reviews collected on the site. To request one, fill in the short form on the Get listed page with your company name, website and work email. Free profiles are scored like everyone else.
I built BestAdAgency so that a company’s place on a list comes from the evidence, not a check. The free profile is the front door to that. This post covers what you get, how to request or claim a profile, and what happens to it after.
What does a free profile on BestAdAgency include?
The Get listed page sums it up in one line: a profile page, eligibility for every relevant ranking, and verified reviews collected on-site.
In practice, that means three things:
- A profile page. Your own page on the site with your company details.
- Eligibility for every relevant ranking. BestAdAgency publishes 235 rankings across Amazon, TikTok Shop, Shopify and DTC. A profile makes you eligible for the ones that match what you do.
- Verified reviews. Clients can leave reviews on your profile, and those reviews feed into how you are scored.
You also get free ranking badges, which I cover below.
What does a company profile page show?
Here is what a live profile shows, using the Canopy Management profile as the example:
- Summary: company name, logo, rating and review count, overall score, a short description and a “Best for” tag
- Key facts: pricing, location, founded year, team size and website
- About: what the company does
- Pricing: pricing model and starting price
- Pros and cons
- Services: tags such as Amazon PPC, Amazon DSP or listing optimization
- Ratings across the web: outside ratings and review counts, with links to the source
- Verified client reviews and a form to write one
- Sources: links to the data behind the profile, plus a correction link
- Rankings: the lists the company appears on, with each list’s monthly searches
- Badges: ranking badge previews with embed code
How do I request a free profile?
Go to the free profile section of the Get listed page, headed “Free profile” with the line “Claim or suggest a company”. The form asks for:
- Company name (required)
- Website (required)
- Your work email (required)
- Product demo video URL (optional, for software companies)
- Anything else we should know (optional)
Then click “Request my free profile.”
For software companies, the demo video should be a demo or product tour hosted on your own YouTube or Vimeo channel. It is shown on software profiles and checked twice a year.
The same free profile form is also on the Contact page.
What if my company already has a profile?
Many companies are already listed. If yours is, you will see a section at the bottom of your profile headed “Is this your company?” It reads: “Claim the profile to update details, collect verified reviews and get your ranking badge.”
The “Claim this profile” button takes you to the same free profile form on the Get listed page. Use your work email so the request can be matched to your company.
If something on your profile is wrong, use the “Send a correction” link. It goes to the Contact page, which lists corrections as one of its main purposes.
Can I suggest a company that is not mine?
Yes. The free profile section says “Claim or suggest a company.” If you think a company belongs on a list, you can suggest it through the same form.
How are free profiles scored?
Free profiles are scored under the same published methodology as every other listed company. The default weights:
| Factor | Weight |
|---|---|
| Results and case studies | 40% |
| Specialty fit | 25% |
| Pricing transparency | 20% |
| Verified reviews | 15% |
Each factor is scored 0 to 100, and the total is the weighted average. A few details that matter if you want to score well:
- Results: documented outcomes need a named starting point and timeframe. Unverifiable claims score zero.
- Specialty fit: channel, category and brand stage. Generalists score lower on specialist lists.
- Pricing transparency: public pricing or a clear pricing model. “Contact us” with no ranges scores low.
- Reviews: volume, recency and quality across sources, including how you respond to critical reviews.
Companies that cannot be verified are not listed. The methodology says vetting checks the website, team, location, founding date, public pricing, case studies and review profiles.
One disclosure, since you will see it on agency lists: BestAdAgency is owned by Exclusiva Inc, my agency. Because I own the site, Exclusiva is shown first on the agency lists, and that placement is not based on the scoring. Every other agency is ranked by the published methodology.
How do verified reviews work?
Anyone who has worked with you can leave a review on your profile. The form asks for a star rating, headline, review text, name, optional role and company, and a work email, plus an attestation checkbox.
Reviews are not published right away. The profile page explains: reviews are published after the reviewer confirms their work email and the site checks it. That is what makes them verified.
The best way to build this part of your score is simple: ask recent clients to leave a review on your profile.
What are ranking badges?
Every listed company gets free badges for its website, proposals and email signature. The badge links back to the ranking, so prospects can check the claim. It updates itself as your ranking changes.
Each profile has a badge section with a preview and a “Copy embed code” button. An example badge reads “Top 10 Amazon Marketing Agencies”.
How is a free profile different from a Sponsored spot?
They are separate things.
A free profile puts you in the editorial rankings, where your position comes from your score.
A Sponsored spot is a paid, labeled placement above a ranking. It lasts 30 days, can be outbid by anyone who pays $1 more, and never changes editorial scores or positions. Spots show up on the live bid board, ranked by bid.
You do not need a Sponsored spot to be listed or ranked.
Is there anything else listed companies can get?
The Get listed page also mentions matched leads: brands from the “Get matched” form that fit your specialty and budget. They are priced per qualified lead, with no contract. It is a paid option, separate from the free profile, and you apply through the Contact page.
