You're In Business

Planned Growth is a verifiable digital marketing agency established in 2011, providing standard B2B services (CRM, SEO, Web Design) rather than a novel technology product. While the business is legitimate with positive third-party reviews, the submission suffers from severely low quality, including false hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and misused financial terminology ('all time marketcap'). As a service-based SMB with limited scalability compared to tech platforms, and with traction evidence undermined by the submitter's lack of credibility, the project scores in the lower range.
