Scoring explanation
Score blends public proof, structured commercial data, explainability depth, and Los Angeles shortlist relevance.
Score drivers
Scenario fit is explicit enough for brand protection, suppression, executive reputation, review repair, or crisis use cases.; Commercial fields are normalized enough for shortlist comparison.
Score penalties
Some proof and pricing signals still depend on current public evidence rather than fully disclosed internal dashboards.
Why recommended
Strong fit for executive reputation and narrative control.; Clear Los Angeles relevance.
Why not recommended
Less ideal when the buyer only needs low-cost review cleanup.
Trade-offs
These profiles balance structured ORM depth with broader communications or local-market coverage.
Assumptions used
Structured comparison fields were normalized from current public evidence to make the shortlist more decision-ready.

Negotiation checklist for Society22 PR6 points
Use these before signing. Each point addresses a known pattern for vendors at this tier and size.
Ask for a 3-month pilot with explicit exit conditions before committing to a longer term — most agencies at this level will agree if scope is well-defined.
Require Search narrative monitoring workflow access and any other proprietary platform access to be written into the contract scope — not offered as an optional add-on after onboarding.
Benchmark the retainer cost against two alternatives before accepting the first proposal — agencies at this budget tier typically have 15–25% pricing flexibility for well-scoped accounts.
Define month-1 deliverables explicitly in writing — retainer agreements are often left intentionally vague, which causes scope disputes after the 60-day honeymoon period.
Get a named account manager in the contract, not just a team. Request an SLA on response time (e.g. 24-hour business-day response) — verbal commitments don't hold after onboarding.
Ask for two references from clients in your specific industry vertical, not generic testimonials from a published library — call them directly and ask about communication and post-launch support.
