At Clutch, we believe trust is the foundation of every business relationship. Our mission is to help buyers make confident, data-backed decisions informed by real client experiences.
Every review on Clutch undergoes a rigorous, human-led verification process to make sure it’s valid. Our team of specialists confirms the identity of each reviewer, ensures the project is legitimate, and only publishes reviews that meet our strict criteria.
Verification doesn’t stop at the point of publication. Our Trust & Safety team routinely audits older reviews against our guidelines. When reviews fall short of our standards, we remove them.
We evaluate service providers using a structured methodology that combines:
- In-depth client interviews and ratings
- Comprehensive project details
- Market presence
- Portfolio examples and industry recognition
This data powers tools like the Leaders Matrix, which helps you compare agencies directly. Our research team curates rankings by weighing verified reviews most heavily, so the most trusted and experienced providers rise to the top.
Using this unique combination of verified client feedback and provider-supplied insights, Clutch distills the most important details into clear, digestible summaries so you have everything you need to make confident, informed decisions quickly.
We take fraud seriously. Providers who violate our guidelines may face lower rankings, restricted visibility, or removal from the platform altogether.
Clutch’s commitment to transparency is ongoing. We’re constantly refining our systems to protect the integrity of reviews and support you in finding the right agency.

Clutch recognizes agencies skilled in media outreach, crisis communications, and reputation management twice a year based on a proprietary methodology. The top PR firms for Fall 2025 include:
Popular PR KPIs include:
- Media Coverage – Number and quality of earned media placements

A PR agency (public relations agency) helps businesses manage their public image and communications strategy. It builds brand credibility through media relations, press releases, events, and crisis communications—ensuring a strong, positive reputation across digital and traditional channels.
A publicist typically focuses on individual clients or one-off publicity efforts—mainly gaining press coverage and managing appearances.
A PR agency offers broader, strategic services, including brand positioning, crisis management, stakeholder communications, and integrated media planning.
Most PR agencies provide a mix of strategic and tactical services, including:
- Media Relations – Securing press coverage and building relationships with journalists
- Crisis Communication – Managing brand reputation during challenges or negative press
- Social Media PR – Guiding brand perception through social platforms
- Content Creation – Writing press releases, blog posts, thought leadership articles
- Event Planning – Coordinating press events, product launches, and conferences
- Influencer & Thought Leadership PR – Building credibility through industry leaders
- Reputation Management – Monitoring public sentiment and enhancing brand image
- Internal Communications – Aligning messaging for employees and stakeholders
Hiring a public relations agency helps elevate your brand’s reputation and visibility. A PR agency can:
- Increase media exposure and brand awareness
- Manage crises and prevent reputational damage
- Strengthen relationships with media and influencers
- Engage audiences with compelling storytelling
- Position your brand as a trusted industry leader
- Support investor relations and stakeholder trust
PR agencies vary in size, specialization, and service style:
- Boutique PR Agencies – Small, personalized firms focused on niche markets
- Enterprise PR Agencies – Large agencies with global media networks and full-service capabilities
- Industry-Specific PR Agencies – Focused on verticals like tech, healthcare, fashion, or finance
- Traditional PR Agencies – Specializing in legacy media like newspapers, TV, and radio
- Digital PR Agencies – Emphasizing online visibility, SEO, influencer partnerships, and content strategy
PR agency pricing depends on agency size, experience, and campaign scope. Most PR projects on Clutch cost between $10,000 - $49,999. Pricing may also vary based on location, deliverables, and retainer vs. project-based models.
To find the right PR partner:
- Define Your Goals – Identify if you need crisis management, media outreach, or brand positioning
- Set a Budget – Know what you're comfortable investing monthly or per campaign
- Research Agencies – Look for relevant industry experience and successful case studies
- Check Reviews – Read client testimonials and agency performance insights
- Evaluate Services – Ensure they offer the full range of PR services your brand requires
- Meet the Team – Assess cultural fit, expertise, and communication style
