    Best Taboola Agencies in 2026: 6 Official Partners Compared

    Looking for a Taboola agency? This list covers six agencies from Taboola's official Marketing Partners directory, each suited to a different kind of advertiser. One disclosure first: we are one of them. Digital Brothers is a Taboola agency, so we put ourselves first and tell you exactly who we are a good fit for, and who we are not.

    Key takeaways

    • Every agency here is listed in Taboola's own Marketing Partners directory. Nobody paid to be included.
    • The right agency depends on your model: a specialist that runs your campaigns, a large multi-channel agency, or a lead generation company that sells you leads at a fixed price.
    • Check that you get a management agency, not an "agency account" rental, and that the ad account stays in your name.
    • Ask for recent Taboola results in your vertical, who will actually run your account, and how often it is optimized.

    How we built this list

    1. Source: all six agencies appear in Taboola's Marketing Partners directory, which lists "selected Taboola partners recognized for expertise with Taboola Advertising".
    2. Selection: we picked agencies that serve different needs, from enterprise brands to pay-per-lead buyers, so you can compare models and not only names.
    3. Information: descriptions come from each agency's directory profile and website. We did not rate or score anyone, and we did not invent results.
    4. Our position: we wrote this list and we are in it. We are first because it is our site, not because of a score.

    The six agencies

    1. Digital Brothers (Rome, Italy)

    We are a media team of two brothers and an official partner of Taboola, Outbrain and MGID, listed in Taboola's Marketing Partners directory. Taboola's Realize blog has published three articles on our campaigns. We build the ads, the advertorials and the tracking, and we optimize accounts every day.

    • Best for: DTC brands, especially health and wellness, and lead generation advertisers who want native as a profitable new channel after Meta.
    • How we work: a setup fee per platform, then a monthly fee; the ad account is opened in your company's name and stays yours. See how our fees work.
    • Not a fit if: you want a single agency for TV, search and social, or you have no budget for a few weeks of testing.

    2. Wpromote (United States)

    A large performance agency with offices in Los Angeles and New York, working across media, creative, data and strategy. Its Taboola partner profile describes it as "the industry leader in performance marketing according to Forrester", and its website names clients such as Peacock, Strava, Intuit QuickBooks, Samsung and Southwest Airlines.

    • Best for: enterprise brands that want native as one part of a full multi-channel plan.

    3. Rainmaker Ad Ventures (United States)

    A media buying agency that, in its Taboola partner profile, says it has been advertising on Taboola for over a decade. Its website says it typically works with companies doing $10M+ in annual revenue or $100K+ a month in ad spend.

    • Best for: established brands with large budgets that want a long-standing media buyer.

    4. Planit (London, UK)

    A paid media and affiliate marketing agency. Its Taboola partner profile mentions content amplification through Taboola and multi-touch attribution; its website lists paid search, paid social, affiliate and content marketing.

    • Best for: UK brands that want Taboola alongside affiliate and paid search and social.

    5. Upside.Digital

    A performance agency that, according to its Taboola partner profile, works on a pay-for-qualified-leads model, with no retainers or setup fees, across Google, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft and native channels.

    • Best for: advertisers who want leads at a fixed cost and don't need to own or see the campaigns.

    6. MVF Global (London and Austin)

    An international lead generation company. Its Taboola partner profile describes connecting clients with high volumes of in-market customers through its own optimized landing pages.

    • Best for: businesses in sectors like home services or energy that want to buy leads in volume.

    Management agency or agency account rental?

    Many results for "Taboola agency" are services that rent you an agency account for a top-up fee. That is a different product from a management agency:

    Agency account rentalManagement agency
    Who owns the accountThe rental providerUsually you
    Who runs the campaignsYouThe agency
    Creatives and advertorialsNot includedUsually included
    Compliance reviewUp to youDone before launch

    Lead generation companies like Upside.Digital and MVF Global are a third model: you buy the leads, not the campaigns.

    How to choose

    1. Match the model to your goal: campaign management if you want to build a channel you own, pay per lead if you only want leads.
    2. Ask for recent Taboola work in your vertical, from the last 6 to 12 months.
    3. Ask who runs your account day to day and how often it is optimized.
    4. Check ownership: the ad account, the data and the pixel should stay in your name.
    5. Ask how they handle Taboola's ad review, especially in health and finance.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does Taboola have a list of official agency partners?

    Yes. Taboola's Marketing Partners directory lists partner agencies with filters by solution, country, language, industry and partner type.

    How much does a Taboola agency cost?

    It depends on the model: management agencies usually charge a setup fee and a monthly fee or a percentage of spend, account rental services charge a top-up fee, and lead generation companies charge per lead.

    Can I run Taboola without an agency?

    Yes. Taboola accounts are self-serve. An agency helps most when you need advertorials, tracking and daily optimization, or faster approvals through a partner account manager.
