How we scored
The criteria, weighted for pipeline.
We reviewed public case studies, client rosters, pricing pages, and third-party reviews. One question outranks the rest: does the agency connect search activity to pipeline you can audit, or does it report traffic and hope you are impressed.
The breakdown
Every agency; the full breakdown:
Read the criteria, check the results, and judge for yourself. Every other entry gets the same fields and an honest tradeoff line.
Obility
Obility is a Portland agency founded in 2011 that describes itself as B2B-only and runs paid search, paid social, SEO, GEO, content, and Reddit. Its Clutch record is 4.8 across 27 reviews, with most engagements between $50,000 and $199,999, and its clients range from semiconductor manufacturers to workforce software.
It ranks first here because it scores well on every criterion at once: breadth, B2B range, and verified reviews, without a weak spot beyond quote-based pricing.
Powered by Search
Powered by Search has run B2B demand generation from Toronto since 2009 under founder Dev Basu, selling paid media, SEO and LLM visibility, and RevOps as three published-tier levers delivered by senior-only pods. Its client list runs from cybersecurity to legal software.
It ranks second on pipeline accountability and breadth and loses points only on the empty Clutch record.
Rock The Rankings
Belkins
Belkins is a Denver B2B lead generation and appointment setting agency founded in 2017 that runs outbound as a managed program: research, cold email and calling, LinkedIn, and appointment setting. Its Clutch record of 4.9 across 230 reviews is the largest on this page by a wide margin.
It ranks fourth on pipeline accountability and verified reviews. It is the pick when the demand gap is meetings, not visibility.
New North
New North is a Frederick, Maryland agency founded in 2008 that builds demand programs for B2B technology companies whose marketing teams are small. It runs ABM, content strategy, paid media, marketing operations, and analytics together, and third parties report retainers between $5,000 and $15,000 a month.
It ranks fifth on breadth and fit for lean teams. Its Clutch rating of 4.6 across 11 reviews is lower than most here.
Heinz Marketing
Heinz Marketing is a Redmond, Washington B2B marketing and sales acceleration agency founded in 2008 by Matt Heinz, with a team of 10 to 15 and a reputation for making the sales and marketing operating model work. Its Clutch profile carries two reviews at 4.5 and $150 to $199 hourly rates.
It ranks sixth on verified record and price rather than on expertise, and it is the pick when strategy and alignment are the gap.
The Marketing Practice
The Marketing Practice is an Oxfordshire agency founded in 2002 with a team of 250 to 999 that runs enterprise ABM, multi-region demand programs, content, creative, and marketing operations for global technology and services companies. Third parties report retainers of $25,000 to $80,000 a month.
It ranks seventh on verified record and price. For a global enterprise it would rank very differently.
Ironpaper
Founded in New York in 2002, Ironpaper runs HubSpot-based inbound demand generation, ABM, content, and lead nurturing as a HubSpot Diamond Partner, with a model shaped around committee-driven sales cycles.
It ranks last here, on an absent verified review record and a quote-based price.

FAQs
Common questions about hiring an agency
If yours is not here, bring it to the call. Same unpolished answer either way.
What does a B2B demand generation agency do?
+It builds and runs the channels that create and capture pipeline for a business-to-business company: outbound and appointment setting, account-based marketing, paid search and social, content and SEO, AI search, and the marketing operations that connect them to the CRM. A few agencies cover all of those; most go deep on one or two. The right choice depends on which channel is your constraint and which kind of buyer you sell to.
Why does Rock The Rankings rank itself third on this list?
+Because we score highest on pipeline accountability, pricing transparency, and senior access, and lose points on channel breadth and B2B range: we run two channels, AI search and Google, for B2B software and technology companies, and an agency that also runs outbound, paid, and ABM across every industry scores higher on both of those criteria.
How much do B2B demand generation agencies cost?
+On this page, Belkins lists a $1,000 Clutch minimum, Obility $5,000, New North is reported at $5,000 to $15,000 a month, Powered by Search publishes demand gen management from $6,000 and organic from $9,000, Rock The Rankings starts at $5,050, Ironpaper quotes per client with a $25,000 Clutch minimum, Heinz Marketing is reported at $15,000 to $40,000, and The Marketing Practice at $25,000 to $80,000.
Outbound or inbound: which should a B2B company fund first?
+Outbound produces meetings fastest and is bounded by the size of the list. Inbound, through paid, organic, and AI search, compounds and is bounded by how well the company is positioned in the places buyers look. Most B2B companies on this page's criteria need both, and the agencies here split roughly along that line.
How quickly does each demand channel show pipeline?
+Outbound can book meetings in the first month. Paid shows pipeline movement in weeks. Organic typically shows ranking and citation movement within 90 days and pipeline within six months, which is why we forecast in scenarios before the agreement rather than promising a month.
How is this list scored?
+Every agency, including ours, is scored on six weighted criteria: pipeline accountability 25%, channel breadth 20%, B2B range 15%, verified reviews 15%, pricing and terms 15%, and senior access 10%. We publish this list and we rank third on it.
