Identity & Authority — The Lens

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Identity & Authority Expert verifiability & Schema depth.

Authority is well-established through robust Organization schema and sameAs links to major social platforms. The presence of specific CPA names in testimonials is strong, though the lack of Person schema or direct links to those individuals’ firm websites represents a minor authority gap. Technically, the site is well-structured with clear FAQ schema and legal entity identification.

Performance claims are largely substantiated with numbers, such as 35% off and specific diagnostic counts. The claim of #1 professional tax software is qualified with a specific study date (April 2024) and source (Radius Research), reducing the disconnect between marketing tone and provable fact. There are no wild, unquantified promises of guaranteed results.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
