Why most "best agency" lists are wrong
Most "Top 10 digital marketing agencies in India" lists on Clutch, DesignRush, Goodfirms and similar directories are pay-to-play. Agencies pay for placement. Methodology is opaque. Reviews are sometimes incentivised. If you make hiring decisions based on those lists, you shortlist the agencies with the biggest ranking budget - not necessarily the best fit for your category.
This ranking is different. We publish our methodology below, use seven comparison criteria, and name every agency with honest profiles - strengths, pricing ranges, and who they are best suited for. ITD GrowthLabs is listed at #1 because of specific specialisation in d2c fashion + apparel. If you disagree with any ranking, every agency on this list has a public website - do your own research.
