# What Are B2B Expert Picks?

## Clutch is partnering with experts, influencers, and thought-leaders in the B2B space across a variety of service lines to curate lists of vetted service providers.

B2B Expert Picks gives buyers a simpler, more trustworthy way to find partners.

Buyers already follow industry influencers for insight. When those trusted voices recommend service providers directly, the decision feels personal, relevant, and safe.

Through influencer-curated lists, buyers can browse vetted agencies recommended by trusted experts and supported by Clutch verified reviews and provider data.

With B2B Expert Picks, buyers can:

- Save time with curated shortlists of top agencies.
- Reduce hiring risk with vetted service providers.
- Make confident decisions backed by both expert judgment and marketplace data.

Ultimately, B2B Expert Picks combines expert-approved agencies, powered by Clutch, all in one place. 

Experts are selected based on their active involvement in the B2B space and demonstrated subject-matter expertise. We also look for experts with engaged audiences and established distribution channels—such as LinkedIn, newsletters, podcasts, or professional communities—who can actively promote these curated lists to the right buyers.

### FAQs for Buyers

##### Why are Expert Picks different?

B2B Expert Picks combine data-driven validation with human expertise. Each list is curated by a respected B2B expert using specific criteria and powered by Clutch data.

This helps reduce noise and highlights providers that have earned trust through both performance and reputation.

##### How do Expert Picks help me find the right partner faster?

Expert Picks narrows the field by surfacing providers that already meet a high bar for credibility and fit. You are given the ability to focus on a smaller, curated set of providers that align with your needs, industry, or project goals—saving time and simplifying your search.

##### Which service lines do Expert Picks cover?

Expert Picks currently focus on high-demand B2B service categories such as marketing, design, development, and IT. Coverage will continue to expand as new experts and service areas are added.

##### How can I use Expert Picks alongside other Clutch tools?

Expert Picks are best used as a starting point. Once you’ve identified potential partners, you can create a shortlist and explore each provider’s full Clutch profile for detailed feedback and service information, send them a message, or fill out a Project Brief.
