You're In Business

UTOPi Digital Optimisation is a verifiable, established UK-based SEO agency (rebranded from a family business operating since 1995). They offer legitimate services including a timely 'Generative Engine Optimisation' (GEO) strategy. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., audience reach of 'everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confusing metrics (referencing 'marketcap' for a service agency). While the business has real-world utility as a service provider, the submission fails to demonstrate the scalability, technical innovation, or traction required for a high PoU score.
