Ranking factors
The most important factors in our methodology
Four weighted signals plus AI specialization decide where an agency appears in search results — and which agencies are surfaced to compete for your brief.
01
Reviews
Reviews are the single strongest ranking signal on 7BE, and they carry weight precisely because they can't be gamed. Every review is tied to a real, completed engagement that ran through the 7BE workflow — so what you read reflects how an agency actually delivers, not how well it markets itself. The more consistently an agency earns strong reviews across briefs, the higher it climbs and the more often it is surfaced to compete for new work.
How we source reviews
Clients can only leave feedback after signing intent documentation as part of the 7BE workflow — there are no anonymous or unverified reviews.
Clients rate their overall experience plus the aspects that matter most: quality, communication, timing and value for money.
Recent reviews carry more weight, so an agency's position reflects how it delivers today, not how it performed years ago.
02
Portfolio
A portfolio is proof of range and depth — it shows the outcomes an agency has actually shipped, across which AI services and at what level of quality. On 7BE the portfolio is read against the brief in front of you, so agencies with relevant, well-documented cases surface ahead of agencies with thin or generic profiles. Specific, measurable cases are one of the fastest ways for an agency to earn visibility.
What we look for in the portfolio
Links to real examples and cases for each service, with measurable outcomes wherever possible.
No more than 20 cases per agency count toward the overall ranking, so depth beats padding.
Cases tagged to specific AI services, so they can be matched to the briefs they are relevant to.
03
Search engine ranking
How an agency's own website performs in search is an independent, outside-in signal of authority — one 7BE doesn't control and that can't be faked from inside the platform. An agency that ranks well and pulls real organic traffic has earned credibility beyond 7BE, and we factor that into where it appears here.
How we account for this
We use the domain rating (DR) captured at the end of each reporting period.
We factor in how much organic traffic the agency's website receives in a month.
Because it is measured externally, this signal rewards genuine authority rather than on-platform activity.
04
Certification
Certification is the trust floor of the platform. Before an agency can be ranked and compete for briefs, it proves it is a real, accountable business — and that is what powers the 7BE Certified badge. Clients never have to wonder whether the agency behind a brief actually exists or will stand behind its work.
What counts as proof of legitimacy
Certificate or articles of incorporation
Business registration or license document
Government-issued business tax document
Business bank statement
Agencies that pass earn the 7BE Certified badge and rank above unverified ones.
05
AI specialization
7BE adds one more signal — AI specialization — so an agency that goes deep in a specific AI service still gets found next to broader competitors. AI specializations are now a core part of how 7BE matches agencies to briefs.
Agencies list every AI service they deliver, from AI agents and voice agents to automation, data and product work, so clients see their full range.
An agency with a broad AI profile and strong scores above ranks well even without the specialization multiplier.
Examples
How the multiplier plays out
Agency 1
3 services
AI Agent DevelopmentAI Process AutomationAI Data Intelligence
Because AI Agent Development sits in the first slot, this agency gets a higher multiplier there than for AI Process Automation or AI Data Intelligence. Visibility drops in descending order from the first slot to the last.
Agency 2
8 services
AI Process AutomationAI Data IntelligenceAI Agent DevelopmentAI Voice AgentsAI Marketing AutomationAI Product EngineeringAI-Driven UX/UI DesignAI SaaS Development
Agencies with a broader offering can list everything or focus on their strongest services. AI Process Automation gets the largest multiplier here; AI SaaS Development the smallest.
Why 7BE
Buy outcomes, not contractors.
Most platforms help you find providers. 7BE defines the result, runs competing agencies against it and verifies delivery before you pay.
Every result is independently checked against the outcome you defined — before any money moves.
Competition by default
AI-native agencies compete for your task — compared on proven delivery, speed and price, not resumes.
Payment on results
Funds sit in escrow and release only when the result works — so the execution risk is ours, not yours.
