How we rank

Before you hire

Ask for a portfolio, a showreel or case studies of work like yours, and confirm exactly what the quote or monthly retainer covers. Check who owns the result when the work ends: the domain, hosting and code for a website, the editable source files for design, the raw footage for video, and the ad account and content if you leave an agency. Be wary of anyone guaranteeing a number-one ranking or a fixed cost per click, as no agency can promise either.

The categories

Each category has its own ranking in every location listed. The review column is the median, across those locations, of the reviews held by the business ranked fifth.
