The certifications buyers and employers actually encounter in this industry. Decide which are worth earning or displaying, and which certified-provider directories you should appear in.

How It's Calculated

Where the numbers come from

We run certifications queries for this industry through Google and aggregate every result: domains by rank-weighted score (higher positions count for more) and appearance count, exact URLs by appearance count, and the most common title phrases.

Overview

What's on this page

Domain and URL charts, the full result list, and title n-gram tables.

Research

By Appearance Count

All Results

Every result for Public Affairs Buyer's Research: Certifications queries, ranked by how many times each exact URL appeared (ties broken by average rank position, so appearing higher up wins), a different aggregation than the score-based charts above. Title and URL links open in a new tab.
