Be the agency that gets recommended when a business asks for help.
Businesses on B2B.ID describe what they need. Agencies whose B2B ID matches — services, proof, availability — get recommended. Not the loudest, not the highest bidder.

Recommendations come from what your B2B ID says and shows — not from who paid for placement.
Word of mouth is the best channel you have — and the one you control least.
- You can’t be in every room where someone asks ‘who do you know for this?’
- Even partners who like you forget the specifics of what you do.
- Directory ‘recommendations’ are usually paid placement wearing a different name.
- Nobody can check a recommendation against actual proof.
Recommendations become a structured request you can be matched to.
When a business submits a Recommend Me request on B2B.ID, it describes the need. Agencies are recommended because their B2B ID fits — the services listed, the proof attached, the availability shown.
- Matching is based on your B2B ID, not on placement fees.
- The request comes with context, so you know why you were recommended.
- Recommendations from partners and clients live on your B2B ID as proof.
- The better your B2B ID describes your lane, the better the matches.
How Recommend Me works
- 01
A business describes the need
Service, industry, budget range, timeline and any must-haves — as a Recommend Me request.
- 02
B2B ID profiles are matched
Agencies whose services, proof and availability fit are recommended, with the reasons shown.
- 03
You’re notified with context
You see the request and why you matched, then decide whether to respond.
- 04
The business chooses
They compare verified B2B IDs and send a Request Quote, Introduction or Meeting to the agencies they want.
What gets an agency recommended
Named services, not categories
‘Lifecycle email for DTC brands’ matches requests that ‘marketing agency’ never will.
Industries and stages you serve
Requests specify who the buyer is. Say who you’re best for.
Proof per service
A recommendation is stronger when the case study for that exact service is one click away.
Current availability
You won’t be recommended for work you can’t take if your B2B ID says so.
Make your agency easy to recommend — and easy to verify.
A specific, complete B2B ID is what gets matched.
Requests involved
Sent by a business that needs an agency. Describes the need; B2B.ID recommends matching B2B IDs.
Written by a client or partner with a B2B ID. Lives on your profile as verifiable proof.
What a business sends you after choosing from the recommended list.
No leads for sale. No guarantees. No paid placement.
- Recommendations are matched, not sold. There is no fee to be recommended more often.
- A recommendation is an introduction, not a signed contract. You still win the work.
- Incomplete B2B IDs match fewer requests. Specificity is the lever you control.
