Scorpion review
CUT: real vertical PPC depth, but opaque staffing and attribution plus practitioner reports of difficult offboarding make the risk too high.
No published price we can link to. We do not estimate one — ask on the call, and see the pricing-transparency line in the scores below.
Verdict
CUT despite credible legal and local-services PPC specialization. Public material proves channel and vertical capability, but not sophisticated incrementality, weekly bespoke creative, or the named senior operator. Practitioner discussions describe difficult departures and control concerns; those are anecdotal reports, not established facts, but combined with opaque pricing and ownership they fail this directory's risk bar.
What we verified

What other platforms say
Practitioner comments report offboarding and control concerns; treat these as anecdotal and verify contract and asset ownership directly.
These are other platforms' numbers, not ours. We report them because they are part of the picture, and we do not average them into our score — our score comes from the published rubric above.
Red flags

How it scored
Vertical and stage fit
Deep legal and local-services positioning.
Channel depth not breadth
PPC is material but offered within a broad suite.
Attribution and measurement
Incrementality and warehouse attribution were not evidenced.
Creative capability
Bespoke creative cadence is unclear.
Account ownership and seniority
Named day-to-day buyer and account load are not public.
References and verifiable case studies
Public proof does not resolve practitioner concerns.
Contract and pricing transparency
Public payment material does not provide a simple price anchor.
What we could not verify
- Named account operator
- Incrementality method
- Current asset ownership and exit language
