Best ways to sell marketing and SEO agency data to AI companies
By Gareth HoyleLast updated How we research
In short
The best ways to sell marketing and SEO agency data to AI companies are a vetted broker such as Sell My Data To AI, a fixed-price license with Polyshares, or a deal with micro1, Mercor or Endless Data. No buyer publishes a marketing agency price range, but Polyshares publishes a $110,000 perpetual exclusive license with a global marketing agency.
Key takeaways
- Polyshares is best for agencies that want one fixed payment and no fees.
- micro1 is best for agencies with 30 or more staff and CRM records.
- Mercor is best for agencies on Slack, Gmail, Salesforce and Notion.
- Sell My Data To AI wrote this list and ranks itself first. The method section explains the criteria.
- Every entry's facts come from the company's own published terms, checked November 2026.
Marketing and SEO agencies hold the reasoning behind published content: strategy documents, content drafts with editor changes, SEO audits, keyword research with intent mapping and performance reports with analyst commentary. Published content has largely been crawled already, so the working files carry the value. See our marketing agency data page.
We have found no buyer that publishes a price range for marketing agencies. The closest public figure is on Polyshares' track record page: a $110,000 perpetual exclusive license with a global marketing agency. micro1 asks for 30 or more full-time staff across all industries.
Most campaign and customer data belongs to clients. Under UK GDPR Article 28, an agency acting as processor may use client personal data only on the client's documented instructions, and SEO, analytics and ad platform exports carry their own terms.

How we ranked this list
Sell My Data To AI wrote this list and ranks itself first. We are a broker with a commercial interest in the result, and some companies below offer a service similar to ours. Read the order with that in mind.
For marketing agencies we gave extra weight to buyers that have published an agency deal or name CRM and document data in their brief, and to terms that keep client customer data out.
| Criterion | What we checked |
|---|---|
| Fit for the data type | Whether the company names this kind of record in its own published brief |
| Published terms | Whether payouts, size requirements and license terms appear on the company's own pages |
| Vetting | What checks the company says it runs on sellers, buyers or datasets before a sample changes hands |
| Exclusivity | Whether licenses are exclusive, non-exclusive or perpetual, and whether that is published |
| Fees | Whether the seller pays a fee or commission, and whether the rate is published |
| Payment timing | When sellers are paid, as stated by the company |
| Transparency | How much of the above you can confirm before a first call |
Every fact about another company comes from our profile of it in the data buyers directory, checked on that company's own pages in November 2026. Where a term is missing we write "Not published" rather than guess. After first place, the order reflects fit for a company selling or licensing its data, not a quality score, and we do not rate any company negatively.
We rank Sell My Data To AI first because this is our list and our service is built for this reader, not because we scored ourselves against the others. We are independent of the buyers we work with, and our terms are on our fees and how we vet pages so you can compare them line by line.
