How Does Clutch Rank Companies?
We use a proprietary ranking algorithm to compare companies against their competitors in particular industries, focus areas, and locations. We base our rankings on 5 main criteria.
Company Ranking Criteria
- Number, quality, and recency of client reviews
- Work experience
- Market Presence and Industry Recognition
- Services offered
- Presence in a location (only on location-specific directories)
Client reviews, work experience, and market presence make up a company's Ability to Deliver.
The services offered, or the main services a company specializes in providing to clients, contribute to a company's Focus Score.
