How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is each agency’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many clients have rated them, ranked against other New York digital marketing agencies. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 built on hundreds of reviews counts for more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these digital marketing agencies?

We started from every digital marketing agency in New York with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which agency specializes in influencer marketing?

inBeat Agency focuses specifically on influencer marketing and creator partnerships, distinct from the broader SEO and paid-ads work other agencies here offer.

How much does a digital marketing agency cost in New York?
