Positions 11 to 31: the same breakdown is on each agency's profile, linked from the table above, and in the machine-readable version below.
A claim counts as startup evidence when a source on file describes SEO work for an early-stage company: a seed or Series A–B business, a venture-backed product, or a launch built from little or no organic traffic, and ideally what changed in traffic, signups or pipeline. Case studies and reviews naming the stage or funding of the client carry the most weight. A share of startup clients that an agency sets on its own directory profile is the agency's description of itself and weighs as little as a service listing. A Vendar service listing or profile tag never earns a rank on its own.
In plain words: a case counts when it names SEO for startups work and where it was published can be checked.
Ranked vendors have at least 1 claim on file that supports SEO for startups under the published rubric, of which at least 1 comes from a source outside Vendar; the rest are listed unranked.
Weights: Evidence for this query 30 · Fit to this query 25 · Capability depth 15 · Reliability 10 · Transparency 10 · Reputation 5 · Market credibility 5. Penalties: Profile flagged for review -5 · Evidence not re-checked in 18 months -5 · No independent source on file -3 · Profile below decision-ready status -2.
Verified means Vendar confirmed the company, its service and its market on official sources and stamped the profile with the date. A participation status or a partner relationship does not make a profile verified.
Every date shown is a data date. A listing's updated date is the newest verification date among its ranked vendors and the evidence claims their ranks rest on; the same value appears in the page text, the structured data and the machine feed.
A position reflects documented work for the page's question, not the quality of an agency as such. Without a public case or a visible campaign the result of an agency's work cannot be known from outside. An agency with no public evidence is not worse: there is nothing to confirm it with, so it is listed below the ranking instead of being ranked low.

Before positioning settles, content written to a fixed plan ages badly. Look for a partner who can start narrow, reuse what works and rewrite without starting over.
