Stand behind your listing
Earn the ✓ Verified Data-Driven badge by showing data work we can validate: a case study or work example, or one free Affinsy analysis on a client store. It is free, and it is the only signal on the ranking, so it is worth something.
Free · No rank changes for money · Applied monthly

Use your agency-domain email address. The domain match with your listing is the ownership proof, so there is no separate claim form.

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.
Prefer to start with a conversation, or spotted a factual error on your card? Email us about your listing and we'll take it from there. Corrections ship with the next edition, they are free, and they never change the score.
Your card carries the badge, and the capabilities listed under "No public evidence" on your scorecard flip to evidence found where the analysis demonstrates them. Verified agencies also get an embeddable "Top Retention Agency 2026" badge for their own site.
It does not change rank position for money, and it does not guarantee a higher score. Verification does not require using Affinsy: any credible evidence of the data work counts, the free analysis is just the fastest way to produce some. It 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.
