How to use this data
Useful for orientation—not a substitute for due diligence
The index is designed to help a buyer identify plausible agencies and form a shortlist. A category count shows how agencies are represented in this dataset, not verified market share. Public services and pricing can change after review.
Use the country pages for the ranked local shortlist, then open agency profiles for the reviewed evidence and direct comparisons. Confirm team, scope, availability, currency and current fees with the agency before appointing it.
