Vendar ranks 5 of 32 SEO agencies serving New York for local SEO: the ones with documented local SEO work on file, verified through September 2026. The top three by evidence-weighted score are Mimvi SEO (76/100), CG Media (75) and Stable Solutions Digital Marketing (74). No paid placements; every position below cites its sources. 27 more New York SEO agencies have no local SEO claim on file yet and are listed unranked.
Ranked agencies have at least one claim from an outside source that names local-search work: Google Business Profile or map-pack results, service-area pages, local citations or multi-location programs; official case studies and third-party reviews weigh most, profile tags least. Full rubric 2026.09 and the scoring model: How we rank.
“Independent” means a third-party source names local SEO work. Each profile holds the claims with their sources; the points per criterion behind every position are in the machine-readable feed.

Evidence-weighted ranking 2026.09.1: each agency is scored on the local SEO query from claims with sources. Evidence for this query 30 · Fit to this query 25 · Capability depth 15 · Reliability 10 · Transparency 10 · Reputation 5 · Market credibility 5, minus penalties; confidence is shown separately. Paid visibility never changes the order of a listing. The points, the claims and the limits behind every position are on its card above; the criteria, penalties, eligibility and ordering rules are on How we rank.
Local results turn on the profile, the service-area pages and the reviews behind them. An agency that treats those as three separate projects will move rankings slowly and calls not at all.
