Earn the Verified Data-Driven badge
Every listing's Data Sophistication score is based on public claims until verified: it reflects what your agency publishes, not what we could independently confirm. Verification replaces claims with evidence of your data work, whatever tool it was done in. This is also the place to get any detail on your listing corrected.
Free · No rank changes for money · Awarded monthly
Claim your listing
Use your agency-domain email address. The domain match with your listing is the ownership proof, so there is no separate claim form.
Show your data work
Fastest route: run one free Affinsy analysis on a client store (with their permission), it takes minutes. Or submit equivalent evidence: anonymized segmentation or testing outputs, or a case study we can review with the client's permission.
Badge awarded next edition
We review the evidence and award the ✓ Verified Data-Driven badge in the next monthly edition of the ranking.
Need a detail corrected, or prefer to start with a conversation? Email us about your listing and we'll take it from there.
Your card carries the badge, and the capabilities listed as "not evidenced" in your score breakdown become evidenced where the analysis demonstrates them. Verified agencies also get an embeddable "Top Retention Agency 2026" badge for their own site.
It never changes rank position for money, it does not guarantee a higher score, and it does not require using Affinsy: any credible evidence of the data work counts, the free analysis is just the fastest way to produce some. Verification converts publicly claimed capabilities into evidenced ones; the score moves only where the evidence does.
Full disclosure: Affinsy publishes this ranking and builds analytics for exactly this kind of work, so we are not neutral about the category. That is why evidence counts regardless of the tool it comes from, and why rank is never for sale.
