The ranking algorithm is as follows:

• SEO Strategy (30%): We examined published works by each agency on their SEO strategy and compared their documentation to Google’s releases on SEO best practices.
• Online Review Score (15%): We examined online reviews and case studies to give each agency a score from 1-5 based on the quality of reviews. 
• Interaction with CEO (20%): Agencies where the CEO is accessible generally provide a higher quality of service, as the team is directly accountable to them for their performance.
• Specialty (25%): Agencies with a stated specialty in SEO for orthodontists were given preference on this list.
