Marion, IL, Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inc. named Rankings.io to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies, the agency's ninth consecutive appearance. Rankings.io posted 204% growth over the past three years, and fewer than 1% of agencies ever reach that many consecutive years on the list.
Rankings.io Inc 5000
Rankings.io serves law firms across the country, specializing in personal injury. Its clients compete for high-value cases in the most contested markets in the country, and their results built the agency's growth.
"Making the Inc. 5000 nine years in a row is an incredible honor, but it's not something we take for granted," said Chris Dreyer, founder and CEO of Rankings.io. "It comes down to a team that grinds every day and law firm partners who trust us to deliver. I'm deeply grateful to both."
The streak traces back to a decision that ran against conventional agency advice. Early on, Dreyer expanded into home services and physician marketing at the recommendation of a peer group, and growth stalled.
He reversed course, narrowed the agency to legal work, and then to personal injury alone, turning away paying clients outside the vertical. Revenue dipped before it climbed.
The agency remains founder-owned at a time when private equity continues to consolidate the marketing services industry. Inc. also named Rankings.io to its 2026 Best Workplaces list.
Dreyer is direct about what recognition is worth in a performance business. "Accolades are great, but in performance marketing, yesterday's awards don't win today's cases," he said. "You shouldn't just take my word or any badge on a website at face value."
Rankings.io now builds its client work around Modern Search, which connects SEO, paid media, local visibility, AI search, and website performance.
Client discovery keeps fragmenting across AI assistants, map results, and traditional search. The agency runs campaigns on ChatGPT's advertising platform and optimizes client visibility inside AI-generated results, alongside the channels firms have used for years.
Firms need coverage across all of it, not strength in one place.
