1. Describe the problem:
I develop turnkey websites. After handing over a project, clients often ask me: «Can you recommend a good marketer?». And here I always hit a dead end. I can recommend someone I've worked with before, but there is no guarantee that they specialize in my client's particular niche (for example, dentistry or industrial equipment sales).
All the marketers seem to show beautiful presentations filled with generic phrases and «successful» case studies from 3 years ago. Finding out which projects they are currently managing and what actual results (not promises) they have achieved in the last 2-3 months is impossible. There is no transparency. Because of this, I risk my reputation and don't recommend anyone.
What I, and primarily my clients, need is some kind of «aggregator» or marketplace where marketers and agencies publish their recent cases with verified numbers in near real-time: what the website was like before, what the traffic/leads became after, and in which specific niches they operate. This would allow me to filter not by reviews, but by live results. Perhaps AI could be utilized for this as well.

2. How often does the problem occur?
For me personally, up to 2-3 times a month.
3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?
I searched for marketers through freelance platforms and search engines.
4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?
I believe that those looking for marketers won't pay, but the marketers themselves would, with high probability, because they need new clients. I think many would agree to cooperate for a sales commission.
