Sitebulb's customer case study describes a technical audit by Walker Sands for a large B2B predictive-analytics client whose site had fallen to "9 URLs in Google's index, 7 of which were PDFs". Crawling and JavaScript rendering analysis, with Lighthouse and page-speed checks, traced the drop to PWA configuration, user-agent redirects, oversized JavaScript bundles and scroll events hiding content from Googlebot. After the fixes, traffic to blog URLs rose 158%, to product category URLs 509%, and organic conversions 80%. The page gives no timeframe; the account comes from Walker Sands.

Best for (profile): Customer acquisition, Paid search, Growth marketing
Positions 11 to 39: 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 SEO-audit evidence when a source on file describes an audit the agency delivered: a technical, site, content or backlink audit, what it found, and ideally which recommendations were implemented and what changed afterwards. Case studies and reviews in which the audit led to shipped fixes and a measured result carry the most weight. Accessibility and paid-search audits are different services and do not count. A Vendar service listing or profile tag is our own label and never earns a rank on its own.
In plain words: a case counts when it names SEO audit work and where it was published can be checked.
Ranked vendors have at least 1 claim on file that supports SEO audit 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.

An audit earns its price when it separates technical blockers, content gaps and conversion problems, and says which to fix first. A crawl export is not an audit: it is the raw material for one.
