Our Methodology
We evaluated each agency on five dimensions: (1) niche depth -- how much of their business is contractor-focused, (2) SEO track record -- verifiable case studies and rankings, (3) paid advertising expertise -- Google Ads, LSA, and Meta, (4) website quality -- conversion-focused design for contractors, and (5) client retention -- a proxy for satisfaction. We include Fannit in every ranking with honest pros and cons. No agency paid for their placement.
