What you can see before you call
13 of 13 name a leader. 6 of 13 name at least one client. 0 of 13 publish a price. If a line is missing on a profile, no source stated it.

Why the first three are here
LS2group (Des Moines, IA). Named Best PR Firm by the Des Moines Business Record every year from 2020 to 2025 and an Inc. 5000 honoree in 2016, per its own site.

Hanser & Associates (Des Moines, IA). A PR Council member since 2001 and the Iowa partner in the IPREX global agency network, giving a small Des Moines firm access to more than 115 partner offices.
The other profiles are on the list. Each one says who leads the firm when a source named them, work they can show when they published it, and a price when they published one.
How to use the list
Write what done looks like in one paragraph. Keep the two or three firms whose reason matches that job. Ask each for one piece of work like yours, and the name of the person who would do it.
The order weighs how long the firm has done the work, clients it can name, its size, and how clear its specialism is. This list has no featured card. Nothing on it is paid placement.
