Can agencies pay to rank higher or buy placement on Pick an Agency?

No. Placement is never for sale, at any price, to anyone. Rankings are computed from review data and verification status, and there is no sponsored slot, featured tier, or paid boost anywhere in the directory.

This is a deliberate structural choice, not a promise: we do not charge agencies at all, so there is no billing relationship through which ranking could be influenced. The only thing an agency can do to rank better is earn it: collect genuine reviews, keep their profile accurate, and verify ownership (verification is free and its only cost is a backlink to us).

If you ever see behavior that looks like paid placement, we want to know: hello@pickanagency.com.
