Getting Listed

Visit 50pros.com and click "Get Started" or "Sign Up." Select the Agency role during registration and use your work email address (free email providers like Gmail or Yahoo are not accepted for agency accounts). After creating your account, you’ll be guided through a short onboarding wizard: enter your agency name and website, select your service categories, set your primary location, write an about description, and review your details. Once submitted, your profile enters our review queue and will be activated upon approval.

After you complete onboarding, your profile is placed in "pending" status for review. Our team checks for completeness, legitimacy, and adherence to our content guidelines. Once approved, your agency becomes active and visible in the directory. To fully unlock your profile (including direct contact info visible to clients), you can pay the one-time $125 verification fee from the Billing section of your dashboard. Verification is optional but recommended — it adds a Verified badge and lets clients see your website, email, and phone number.

We require a work email address (e.g., you@youragency.com) to help maintain the quality and credibility of our directory. Free email providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and Outlook are not accepted for agency registrations. This ensures that every listed agency is a legitimate business. If you’re a freelancer or small agency without a custom domain, reach out to hello+agencies@50pros.com and we’ll help find a solution.

The onboarding process has 5 steps: (1) Agency Info — your agency name, website URL, and tagline; (2) Services — select the service categories and subcategories your agency offers from our taxonomy of 100+ categories; (3) Location — your primary city, state, and country; (4) About — a detailed description of your agency, its expertise, and approach; and (5) Review & Submit — a final review of all details before submission. After onboarding, you can further enrich your profile by adding team members, case studies, a logo, industry specializations, hourly rates, and more from your dashboard.

Profile completeness directly affects your visibility on the platform. Your completeness score is calculated from 13 weighted fields: agency name and website (10%), tagline and description (15%), logo (10%), location (5%), service categories (10%), subcategories (5%), industries (5%), team members (10%), case studies (10%), hourly rate (5%), social links (5%), engagement models (5%), and minimum project size (5%). Agencies that reach 75% completeness become eligible to appear in the "Newly Joined" section on the homepage. Higher completeness also improves your ranking in directory search results, so it’s worth filling out every section.

Yes. If your agency has already been added to 50Pros (for example, through a client review or an admin seed), you may receive a claim invitation email with a unique token link. Click the link to verify ownership and gain full editing access to the profile. After claiming, you’ll have a 7-day window to add existing client reviews to your profile. If you believe your agency is listed but you haven’t received an invite, contact hello+agencies@50pros.com with your agency name and website.
