Mark's hot take

“If you're targeting agencies or service-based businesses, then Clutch is a very comprehensive database that lists all of the agencies that have a profile on Clutch. The majority of them do. I like the fact it has a lot of filters that you can segment your list by, such as average hourly rate and the types of services that they offer. You will need to combine the Clutch list with a scraping tool.”
