Search has changed hugely over the years, and search marketing strategies with it. Today, the advent of generative AI means there are likely to be further shifts within the sector.

That means brands and advertisers will likely need to reconsider their SEO approaches in the coming months and years. To help, we looked through The Drum Recommends database to see which specialist agencies are endorsed by the people best placed to judge – their clients.

The Drum Recommends is a free service designed by The Drum to help marketers find relevant, trusted agencies. Recommendations are based on reviews from their clients.

Every year, The Drum Recommends receives thousands of ratings from advertisers. Marketers complete a survey that scores their agency’s performance, the quality and range of their services, as well as price. Agencies must receive at least three client ratings to become recommended for a service.
