We've spoken to many agency leaders.
Here are some FAQs you might have!
Why are we getting an invitation? How did you find us?
We identify top-performing agencies, mostly by paying attention to what's happening in the landscape of work and the agency world.
Someone from our team may have noticed something in the news. An agency in our network may have put in a good word. Or we may have heard from your past/existing client of the great work you are doing. Once this "trigger" occurs, we then do a preliminary vetting process to send along this invitation so you can formally apply.
P.S. We use our own product, so we hired an agency to create this preliminary list of top-rated agencies based on specific sets of parameters. You made that list!
Cost? How does 50Pros make money?
You can choose from three pricing options:
$1,000/month + $0 cost per click + $0 commission per new client.
$270/month + $3 cost per click + 0% commission per new client.
$0/month + $0 cost per click + 5% commission per new client.
All packages are are identical in benefits and guaranteed metrics.
The third option is only available to agencies after two successful years being listed on 50Pros.
All plans are annual billing. 12-month term. Cancel anytime.
All metrics guaranteed. If any metric is not met, we provide additional months at no cost until the numbers are achieved.
Am I already accepted?
No, this is an invitation to apply.
In order to get featured on 50Pros, all three things need to happen:
- receive an invitation; AND
- submit an application; AND
- get accepted
However, we spend a lot of time prospecting the right agencies (and taking the time to create a personalized page like this) so if you received an invitation, there is a higher chance you will get accepted.
How does 50Pros market & distribute?
The biggest driver of the success we produce for agencies is via our Account-Based Marketing (ABM) initiatives. These are robust sales and direct outreach processes. A big focus for us is also partnerships with hiring companies, directly onboarding them to use 50Pros as a trusted source if/when they are in the market for an agency.
We are experts match-making and distribution!
You may have also heard about us online or seen our advertisements in traditional channels, like full-page ads in the national magazines, like Entrepreneur, or Metro/Subway stations, like Washington DC .
What happens if we get accepted?
Approximately two weeks from the time you apply, you will receive an email notifying you of the good news. This email will include important information, includes access to the "Top 50" badges that you may proudly showcase on your website, email signature, and other marketing materials.
From this point, our team does all the heavy lifting in showcasing and getting your agency in front of prospective clients, providing the guarnateed metrics of impressions, clicks, and outbound sales processes.
There is nothing else you need to do! Just keep an eye on your inbox for leads, opportunities, etc.
What happens if we get denied?
If for any reason you do not accepted: no harm, no foul.
You do not get listed, and you will not be required to submit the upfront fee.
We do not share the reasons why an agency got denied. Sometimes, it is because our listings are at maximum capacity and we cannot fulfill the services.
How is 50Pros different from Clutch?
The biggest driver of the success we produce for agencies is via our Account-Based Marketing (ABM) initiatives. These are robust sales and direct outreach processes. A big focus for us is also partnerships with hiring companies, directly onboarding them to use 50Pros as a trusted source if/when they are in the market for an agency.
We do not rely only on SEO, although that's certainly a focus too.
50Pros is positioned as a high-quality & vetted marketplace where clients can have the confidence in trusting what they see.
With a maximum of 50 agencies per category, only the top-rated agencies are featured & showcased.
It is 100% invitation-only, vetted, and curated.
Since we manage and operate listings and intentionally limit the supply, we're able to wholly know all the agencies we represent.
When clients submit requests, we provide a white-glove service to connect clients with the most suitable agencies.
How does our agency benefit from this?
An easy way to think about 50Pros is it being a 50% PR company and 50% Lead Generation company. We are both a product and service company. It is an advertising cost from your standpoint.
The PR part comes from your agency getting recognized & showcased as a top firm in your categories. Agencies that display credentials such as our badges can boost conversion rates by up to 30-40%, as they demonstrate trust, authority, and credibility to prospective clients.
The Lead Generation part comes from your agency benefiting from our proactive efforts in representing & showcasing your agency in front of your prospective clients. You build new client pipeline.
