In Dallas–Fort Worth, the analysis highlights VIDA's ability to surface suitable matches across the metroplex's many suburbs and submarkets, reflecting its hybrid technology-and-human model.
VIDA Select has been ranked the top matchmaking firm in Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Philadelphia, according to new reports from CX Research Institute. The firm scored 92 out of 100 points in each market, beating out rival services across all three cities.
The rankings come from a data-driven evaluation of professional matchmaking services in major U.S. metro areas. VIDA's repeated top finish across multiple cities puts it ahead of the pack in one of the fastest-growing segments of the dating industry.
How VIDA Scored 92 Points in Every Market
CX Research Institute evaluated firms on a range of factors. VIDA earned top marks for its curated introductions, client-approved matches, and post-date feedback system. The firm also offers flexible month-to-month pricing — no long-term contracts required.
VIDA's hybrid model combines human matchmakers with proprietary technology. According to CX Research Institute, this approach gives the firm access to what it calls 'the world's largest pool of eligible singles' — going well beyond a single in-house database. Matchmakers also tap their own professional networks to find candidates.
Local Offices Anchor a City-by-City Strategy
VIDA is not operating remotely in these markets. The firm has an Austin office at 901 S MoPac Expy, a Dallas location at 3001 Knox St, and a Philadelphia presence at 100 N 18th St. Each office gives the firm a local foothold in its target city.
In Dallas-Fort Worth, CX Research Institute highlighted VIDA's ability to find matches across the region's many suburbs and submarkets. The DFW metroplex is one of the most spread-out urban areas in the U.S., making geographic reach a key competitive edge.
16 Years of Service and 11,000 Success Stories
VIDA was founded in 2009 by Scott Valdez. The firm has served the Austin region for 16 years and claims more than 11,000 success stories company-wide. According to CX Research Institute, 82% of VIDA clients meet someone special within 90 days of starting the service.
That 90-day figure is a key selling point. Most dating services measure success in vague terms. VIDA ties its track record to a specific timeline — a concrete claim that the CX Research Institute reports treated as a mark in the firm's favor.
What the Rankings Mean for Singles in These Cities
The CX Research Institute frames its reports as a guide for singles who want expert help — not just an app. Professional matchmaking sits at a higher price point than swiping, but it comes with human curation and personal coaching. The Philadelphia report, published by CX Research Institute, noted VIDA's client-centered approach as a key differentiator.
VIDA's sweep of three major markets in a single round of reports is notable. Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Philadelphia are each distinct dating markets with different demographics. Topping all three with the same score — 92 out of 100 — suggests a scalable model that travels well across cities.
