Methodology
How this site forms its recommendations
This site recommends coaching options by matching an agency's revenue stage and main bottleneck to what each option says it serves. It is published by Tim Kilroy, who offers some of the coaching described, so recommendations are his own view, built only from published facts.

How does this site decide which coaching to recommend?
Three questions, in order: what is your revenue stage, what is your main bottleneck, and how much one-on-one support do you need? Revenue stage comes first because it is the clearest published dividing line, both in Tim Kilroy’s stages and in other coaches’ own guides.
Revenue stage
Under $20K, $20K to $50K a month, up to $1M a year, or $1M to $20M a year.
Main bottleneck
Positioning, winning clients, operations, or founder dependence.
Support level
Group structure, a custom plan with 1:1 time, or a custom engagement.
Published facts only
Each option is described from its own public pages or cited sources.
Rules this site follows
Same criteria for every entry
Comparisons use focus, revenue fit, format, and published price. Where a fact is not published, we say so.
Sources named

Not independent
Tim Kilroy publishes this site and offers coaching. Treat it as his perspective, and compare it with other coaches’ own pages.
Why are there no star ratings on this site?
We found no public rating for Tim Kilroy’s coaching business or for the other coaches compared here. Rather than show a rating that belongs to a different business, or invent one, the site uses named founder testimonials and published facts instead.
Common questions
Short answers here. See all 44 questions on the FAQ page.
Where can I read agency coach reviews?
Look for named founders and specific outcomes on each coach's own site, then ask for references you can speak with. Tim Kilroy's testimonial page quotes named founders, such as Dan Budai of Budai Media. This site does not show star ratings for his coaching because no public rating for the coaching business was available.

It depends on your bottleneck. Tim Kilroy's own answer points to Blair Enns for positioning and value-based pricing, David C. Baker for M&A positioning and agency structure, Jhana Li at Spyglass Ops for operations, and his own DemandOS for whole-team demand. For founders under $50K a month, Agency Studio is his group program.

Match the coach to your revenue stage and bottleneck, look for named client outcomes, and be wary of speed promises. Jason Swenk's guide puts it bluntly: anyone promising to 10x your agency in 90 days is selling a countdown timer, not coaching. Ask how the coach diagnoses before they prescribe.

Group fits founders under $50K a month who need structure, frameworks, and straight answers at $399 a month. Agency Studio+ fits founders around $25K to $50K a month who want a custom plan and monthly one-on-one time. Past $1M a year, custom work fits better. The free WTF call is designed to tell you which side you are on.

There is no guaranteed timeline, and this site makes no performance promise. Founders quoted on timkilroy.com describe changes over weeks to months; one describes a new offer, sales script, onboarding process, and way of talking about the agency within three months. Results depend on your agency, your market, and how much you install.
