Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

KickstartSEO Limited is a verified UK-based agency (inc. 2023) offering AI-driven SEO services ('Norman') and a client portal. While the business model is clear and the 'productized service' approach is practical for SMBs, the submission is heavily penalized for significant errors and hyperbole. The 'Evidence of Traction' claim ('most people have used my product') is demonstrably false for a local agency, and the project name mismatch ('SilentForge' vs 'KickstartSEO') suggests a careless submission. The project shows promise as a micro-business but currently lacks verifiable scale or technical uniqueness to score higher.
