Quick picks

How we judged each agency: six checks you can repeat

1. Category focus. The site says it serves AEC firms or building-product manufacturers

2. Audience knowledge. Architects, specifiers, contractors, dealers and distributors each buy differently

3. Named clients. Manufacturers or firms you can look up

4. Specification strategy. Continuing education, spec content and sample programs

5. Measurable results. A case study with numbers you can question

6. Search and AI visibility. Whether specifiers find products and firms when they search or ask an assistant

How to test any AEC or building-products agency in two minutes

1. Ask how they reach specifiers: CEUs, spec content, sample programs.

2. Ask for a named client in your product category with a result.

3. Search your product type plus 'spec' or your firm's service plus city, and ask ChatGPT who supplies it. See whether their clients appear.

4. Ask how leads flow to your sales team and distributors, and who owns the data.

What it costs

None of the specialists we checked publishes retainers; Clutch lists a $10,000 minimum project for Venveo. TERAMOK publishes websites from $18,000, production from $15,000 and campaign retainers of $8,000 to $25,000 a month.

Red flags

• Consumer-style campaigns for a product specified by architects.

• No named clients in construction or building products.

• Reports without spec, sample or distributor metrics.

• Product pages that search engines and AI assistants cannot read.

If you sell to the people who build

Contractors and building brands win when owners, architects and buyers can verify them fast. TERAMOK films real projects and products, builds pages that search and AI can read, and runs demand campaigns. See building products marketing, construction marketing and industries we serve.
