The Ad IntellX
Agency Transparency Index

Verified, not ranked.

Clients can't tell which agencies actually have real data access to their Meta accounts. We can. The Agency Transparency Index certifies the ones that do — with forensic audit data, not self-reporting.

Why this exists

Nielsen didn't rate TV shows.
It measured audiences. Both sides needed the number.

The Agency Transparency Index works the same way. Agencies need a credible, independent standard to prove their data access is real. Clients need a way to verify it before signing a retainer. Certification is the number both sides need.

For certified agencies
Being on the Index proves your forensic infrastructure is what you claim. Clients can verify it independently. Competitors cannot buy their way onto it. It becomes your clearest differentiator at the pitch stage.
For clients evaluating agencies
Before you sign a retainer, check if your agency is on the Index. If they're not, ask them why. The absence is informative. Not damning, but worth asking about.

For the industry
The Index creates a measurable standard where none existed. Over time, "Is your agency Ad IntellX Certified?" becomes standard due diligence — the way a building inspection does before a property purchase.
Activity-based, not payment-based
You can't buy your way onto the Index. Certification requires active forensic monitoring of client accounts, not just holding a subscription. Every certified agency is genuinely using the infrastructure.

Certification criteria

Three things every certified agency must have.

All three criteria are verified by the Ad IntellX team before certification is granted and monitored continuously for as long as certification is active.

1
Active Institutional subscription
The agency holds an active Ad IntellX Institutional plan, providing Tier-1 forensic API access, multi-client workspace, and white-label reporting infrastructure.
Certification suspends immediately if subscription lapses
2
Active forensic monitoring of client accounts
The agency actively monitors at least three client Meta ad accounts through Ad IntellX in any 30-day period. Certification reflects active forensic practice, not passive subscription holding. Agencies approaching inactivity receive warnings before any status change.
3
Verified onboarding review
A completed 30-minute onboarding review with the Ad IntellX team confirms platform setup, client account access, and data workflow integration. This one-time review ensures the agency is operating the forensic data layer correctly before certification is granted.

Who should apply

Built for agencies that compete on data access.

If data transparency is already part of how you pitch, the Index makes it independently verifiable.

Performance agencies managing 3+ clients
You're already running forensic-level Meta analysis. Certification lets you show clients independent proof of that without a sales deck.
Boutique shops competing against big networks
You do better work but can't always prove it in a pitch. The Index gives you a third-party standard to point to that larger agencies may not qualify for.
Agencies building transparent client relationships
Your clients have full access to their data. Certification puts that commitment on the public record, independently verified, not just stated on your website.

Common questions

What you're probably wondering.

The Institutional plan is Ad IntellX's top tier, built for agencies running forensic Meta diagnostics across multiple client accounts. It includes Tier-1 forensic API access, multi-client workspace, white-label reporting, and continuous signal monitoring. Pricing for Founding Partners is reduced and locked for 12 months. See full pricing.
Certification is suspended immediately if the Institutional subscription lapses. Your listing is hidden from the public Index and you receive an automated warning. If the subscription is reinstated within 30 days, certification is restored. After 30 days, you would need to reapply. Founding Partner status is permanent and reinstated with the listing.
We check that at least three distinct client Meta ad accounts are connected and actively scanned through Ad IntellX in any given 30-day period. Accounts inactive for 30+ days don't count toward the minimum. You receive an in-platform warning before approaching the threshold, not after.
Founding Partners receive a 12-month rate lock in exchange for a case study and one testimonial. Beyond that, the Institutional plan is month-to-month. Certification continues as long as the subscription and activity criteria are met. There is no long-term contract requirement.
We review all applications within 2 business days and reply to the email you provide. We're selective about who we certify because the standard only works if it's credible. If we think there's a fit, we'll schedule an onboarding call. If not, we'll tell you specifically what would need to change.
Yes. Certified agencies receive an embeddable badge widget they can place on their own website. The badge links back to your listing on the public Index and dynamically updates based on your certification status — so it's always accurate.
