SEO/SEM Agency Ranking 2024 – Compare Marketing Agencies (Finances and Offers)
There are thousands of marketing agencies on the Polish market. From a client's perspective, the choice is difficult – each agency has its own DNA, placing different marketing emphasis on communication and subsequent order fulfillment. Therefore, we have attempted to unify, in our opinion, the most important distinguishing features of SEO/SEM agencies and compare them reliably to facilitate the right choice for those seeking a marketing partner.

Our SEO and SEM agency ranking includes the 25 largest entities by revenue for 2023 – we source this information from the National Court Register (KRS). We only included agencies offering SEO and SEM services. We selected categories that, after over a decade of our organization's development and thousands of negotiations, implemented campaigns, and built relationships, we consider most important. At the same time, we don't claim that our ranking is the sole source of truth – the weighting of each category can be interpreted differently depending on what a given client expects from their agency. Nevertheless, we approached the topic as comprehensively as possible, describing not only revenue but also analyzing the number of case studies (with the necessary requirement that the client's name be included in such an analysis as at least a basic proof of credibility), reviews on the most popular aggregators (Google, Facebook, Clutch), and the number of services offered.
We sent e-mails to all the agencies and then called them to clarify or obtain information that we could not find on the websites.

FAQs about SEO/SEM agency rankings
The Agency Ranking is an annual ranking designed to help entrepreneurs find a reliable business partner. It compares leading Polish marketing agencies based on their experience, range of services, and effectiveness in conducting SEO and paid campaigns (SEM).
When evaluating the best agencies, a number of measurable factors are considered. These include:
- Documented successes (case studies) and customer references.
- Partner statuses (e.g. Google Premier Partner or Meta Business Partner).
- Size, experience and certifications of the team of experts.
- Transparency of contracts and clear rules for reporting results.
When it comes to SEO and SEM services, the "cheaper is better" approach rarely works. A suspiciously low price often indicates a lack of a personalized strategy, automation (which can be detrimental to the website), and hidden costs. Effective marketing requires the involvement of experienced specialists and investment in expensive analytical tools.
The industry has moved away from risky "performance-only" (i.e., per-item) pricing. Currently, the standard and safest model for clients is a fixed subscription or a hybrid model (subscription + bonus for achieving specific business goals, such as increased traffic or conversions). This allows the agency to plan long-term activities in a sustainable manner and invest in secure link building.
Before making a final decision, check the quality of communication with a potential partner. It's worth asking who your dedicated account manager will be, how often you'll receive progress reports, and whether the agency has experience (or examples of successful campaigns) in your specific industry.
