Local Lighthouse is a verified digital marketing agency established in 2011 with significant operational scale (~350 employees, ~$9M annual revenue). However, the project's 'Usefulness' is severely compromised by major red flags: the company has faced a lawsuit from Google for trademark infringement and robocalling, and holds a poor reputation for predatory sales tactics. The submission quality was extremely low, containing false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and misuse of financial terms ('marketcap'). While the verifiable traction (revenue/headcount) provides a baseline score, the negative utility and lack of technical innovation prevent a higher rating.
