get_methodology

Explain how Agency Standings publishes ranks. Real rankings, earned through evidence: client results, testimonials and published work. Agencies can never pay us: not for a rank, a sponsorship or a newsletter spot. The only way up is evidence. Agencies can never sponsor or advertise on Agency Standings or the Big Moves newsletter. Sponsors are products, software tools, AI companies and other non-agency brands. Rank numbers are included. A numeric score is not.

search_agencies

Search Agency Standings. Each result includes its industry, services, evidence level, a one-line evidence summary, profile URL, and contact URL. A plain-language query drops filler words such as agency, firm, best, and top, maps words such as lawyer, Shopify, or software onto an industry, and ranks agencies that match any remaining word. If a location matches nobody, that location is left off and the response includes a note. Ecom, Legal, SaaS, Finance, and Service include rank numbers. Agencies without enough evidence stay unranked and have no rank number. A service, location, or zip filter numbers the matches from 1 in the existing industry order. get_agency keeps each agency's industry rank. Results do not include a numeric score.

read-only

zip	string	Postal code matched against a stored headquarters string.
limit	integer	Maximum results to return. Defaults to 10.
query	string	Plain language or words matched against the name, services, and evidence summary. Filler words are ignored.
service	string	Service slug or label, such as seo or Web Design.
industry	string	Industry slug or label, such as ecom or Legal.
