How much does it cost to list an AI agency?

Listing is free. There are no setup fees. Upgraded tiers start at $89/month for Verified, $179/month for Featured, and $449/month for Sponsored. All plans are month-to-month with no annual contracts.

What is the difference between Verified and Featured listings?

Verified ($89/mo) adds a verified badge, dofollow backlink to your site, top-of-search placement above Free listings, and reviews. Featured ($179/mo) includes top-of-category placement, homepage rotation, case studies section, and weekly Best Agency Highlights newsletter inclusion.

Can I cancel my listing subscription anytime?

Yes. All paid tiers are month-to-month subscriptions. There are no annual contracts and no cancellation fees. Your free listing remains active even after cancelling a paid upgrade.

How do lead credits work?

Lead credits give agencies first access to project leads submitted through the Get Matched tool. When a business submits a matching project, lead credit holders receive the full project brief and contact details by email.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a contract or lock-in?

No. Every paid tier is month-to-month. Cancel anytime before your next billing date with no penalty. This is one of the ways we're fundamentally different from Clutch and DesignRush, which require annual contracts at $4,000-$10,000+.

When do I start getting leads?

You appear in AI search results and category pages immediately after your listing goes live. Most agencies see their first profile views within 48 hours. Lead volume picks up as you collect reviews and build your profile — typically takes 2-4 weeks to see consistent inbound.

Why is Featured marked "Most Popular"?

Featured gives you top-of-category placement and homepage rotation, which are the two highest-traffic spots in the directory. At $179/month, you need to close one $2,500 project per year to break even. Most agencies close that within the first 60 days.

Do I need reviews to get a Verified listing?

No. Verified is available as soon as you subscribe. But we strongly recommend actively collecting reviews — agencies with 5+ reviews see 3-4x more profile engagement than agencies with zero. Reviews are the single biggest trust signal for buyers.

Can I start free and upgrade later?

Yes. Submit your listing for free, build up your profile, collect reviews, and upgrade when you're ready to invest in more visibility. There's no deadline or pressure — your free listing stays live indefinitely.

What payment methods do you accept?

All major credit and debit cards via Stripe. Payment is processed securely — we never see or store your card details.

Revenue Stream #2

Buy Matched Leads

When a business submits a project on AI Agency Search, we match them to the best agencies and notify you. Pay per lead — no subscription, no commitment.

Step 1

Business Submits Project

A buyer describes their AI project, budget, industry, and timeline on AI Agency Search's free matching tool. They fill in four fields and hit submit — the whole process takes under 2 minutes.

Step 2

We Match and Notify You

Our matching engine scores 107 agencies against their criteria. Lead buyers receive an email notification with the full project brief, including budget range, timeline, industry, and contact info.

Step 3

You Close the Deal

Reach out to the buyer directly. No platform commission on the project — you keep 100% of whatever you close. We don't intermediate the conversation or take a cut.
