For vendors
The order is earned on evidence: client reviews, vetting, awards and the facts a business states on its own website, which we read and date. Nobody can pay to move up. Add reviews or verified facts to your free profile to move up at the next edition; there are two ways to stand out now, and each one says what it is.

Paid · always labelled
The order comes from what each firm publishes and what has been verified about it, and never from payment:
Client reviews are still rare across this catalogue, so on most lists today the order is set by the first two. A firm near the top is the best-documented and best-verified one we hold, which is not the same claim as the best one to hire. Use the list to build a shortlist, then check the firms yourself.
Sponsored listings are labelled and shown apart from this list. How rankings work
Only firms whose profile names Canada are counted here, so a firm that lists a town but no country is not yet included.
The same list elsewhere: India (92) · Australia (28) · UK (23).
Every category in Canada: the Canada country page.
Every other way we rank advertising companies, by what they do and where they are.
