What we discovered, October 2026
Email is the weakest channel
2.9/10Average across 600 scored brands. 201 of them show no visible email capture at all. The cheapest channel is the most ignored. It is the weakest channel on 41 of the 60 boards.
Websites are the strongest
7.6/10Most brands have a decent website. Far fewer do anything with the traffic it earns: email sits 4.7 points lower.
Top score: iHeat
7.7/10The highest score on any Whito leaderboard, set on the Boiler Repair & Installation board.
Winners have fewer weak channels
34 of 60Board leaders who never score below 4 on any channel, against 6% of the other brands. The brands that win do not have one trick. They have the fewest gaps.
The sector gap is wide
6.2 vs 3.0Ecommerce Brands posts the highest board average; Asbestos Surveying & Removal the lowest. B2B and compliance-led trades sit at the bottom of the table.
Figures computed from all 60 boards (600 brands), every one now scored on Whito’s fixed rules, with evidence read between 12 and 23 October 2026. Meta ad counts for brands added on 22 October were read on 23 October 2026. Industries differ, so compare across them with care. Full analysis of the earlier edition: UK Marketing Channel Benchmarks.

How to read it: scores come from 60 industry boards of ten brands each, all scored on the same fixed rules, with evidence read between 12 and 23 October 2026. Industries sell in different ways, so treat this as a cross-industry view rather than a precise league. Some brands appear on more than one board, once per industry. Brands on the same score share a rank and are listed A to Z. Bold green marks a channel score of 8 or more; red marks 3 or less.
The seven channels, averaged across the UK
How the research works
Every brand is scored out of 10 per channel from publicly visible activity only, then averaged into the overall score. The Average is the simple mean of the seven channel scores, rounded to one decimal place.
Every board now uses the same fixed scoring rules, set out on each board, and states the date its evidence was read. The older boards, first published with scores relative to the other brands in each comparison, were rescored on the fixed rules and expanded to ten brands on 22 and 23 October 2026. Every leaderboard is refreshed annually.
Brands cannot pay to appear, to improve a score, or to remove a board. Every score is assessed by hand by Whito, from publicly visible marketing activity only. Claiming a Whito listing is free and never changes a research score. Any brand can ask us to correct a factual error and can send a response for us to publish.
What the scores are not: they measure visible marketing execution at the date of assessment, not sales, revenue, profit, market share or return on spend. The brand at number one does not necessarily have the most customers or make the most money. And because we assess from the outside, activity we cannot see into, such as what happens inside an email sequence or an ad account, is judged only by its visible traces.
Every industry is now scored against the same fixed rules, but industries sell in different ways, so compare across them with care.
Corrections and right of reply
Brand logos are trademarks of their owners, shown only to identify the brands scored. No brand supplied, paid for or approved its logo or its score.
The scores here are Whito’s editorial assessment, based on information anyone can see. Where we quote a financial figure, published results or regulator action, it comes from filed accounts, a company announcement or the regulator’s own notice.

Common questions
What are the Whito UK Marketing Leaderboards?
Independent rankings of how well known UK brands actually market, scored across seven channels: social, website, email, SEO, paid, reviews and brand. So far we have scored 600 brands across 60 leaderboards, using publicly visible activity only.
How are the scores worked out?
Every brand is scored out of 10 per channel from publicly visible evidence, against fixed scoring rules set out on each board, then averaged. Each board shows the top ten UK brands in its industry. Brands cannot pay to appear or to change a score.
Which UK brand scores highest in 2026?
iHeat holds the highest score on any Whito leaderboard at 7.7 out of 10, on the Boiler Repair & Installation board. HIPPO (7.6), PureGym (7.6), Hays Travel (7.4), Treatwell (7.4), Bill Plant (7.3) follow. A top score means the strongest visible marketing we measured, not the most sales or profit.
What can my business learn from the leaderboards?
Each board opens with who’s leading, which channels they score highest on, the weakest channel across the industry, and three practical lessons you can copy. Email is the weakest channel on 41 of the 60 boards, so it is often the first gap worth closing.
How often are the leaderboards updated?
Each industry is refreshed annually, and new industries are added regularly. Each board shows when it was last assessed, and this page shows when it was last updated.
Can I request a leaderboard for my industry?
Yes. We add new leaderboards when readers ask. Use the contact page and tell us the sector, or join the newsletter to hear when a new board goes live.
