How We Rank
At Holy Ranks, every ranking is earned — not assumed, not influenced by follower counts or industry buzz.
We independently research and evaluate every marketing expert and agency on our platform. Our process is straightforward: we look at what actually matters — real performance, proven results, and genuine client success.
Popularity does not rank anyone here. Results do.
What We Look At
A marketing expert or agency can have thousands of followers, a polished website, and a long list of awards — but if their clients aren’t seeing real growth, they don’t belong at the top of our list.
That’s why our evaluation focuses on four core criteria, with the heaviest weight placed on actual, measurable outcomes.
Our Ranking Criteria
01. Real Client Results (40%)
The most important factor in our evaluation. We look at actual, measurable outcomes — organic traffic growth, keyword rankings, lead generation, ROI, and campaign performance delivered to real clients across real projects.
This is where most rankings get it wrong. We get it right by prioritizing proof over perception.
02. Client Reviews (25%)
We analyze genuine client feedback from across the web — looking at consistency, satisfaction levels, and the quality of long-term working relationships. A strong review profile built over time carries far more weight than a handful of recent testimonials.
03. Portfolio & Case Studies (20%)
Strong rankings require strong proof. We evaluate the depth, diversity, and quality of each expert or agency’s documented work — including published case studies, before-and-after performance data, and industry-specific experience.
04. Experience & Recognition (15%)
Years of active experience and industry recognition matter — but they support the ranking, they don’t drive it. We factor in how long a professional has been operating and any notable achievements or awards they have earned along the way.
How We Gather Data
Our team independently researches each expert and agency across multiple sources — including professional profiles, client review platforms, published case studies, and publicly available performance data.
No expert or agency is asked to submit information or pay to be evaluated. If the results are there, we find them.
Rankings Are Regularly Updated
The marketing industry moves fast. An agency that delivered strong results two years ago may not be delivering the same today — and vice versa.
That’s why our rankings are reviewed and updated on a regular basis to ensure they always reflect current, accurate performance data.
Our Commitment
Holy Ranks exists to bring transparency to the marketing industry. Every ranking we publish is independently researched, editorially driven, and built on one standard — who is genuinely delivering results for their clients.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
