Structured data is well-implemented for the Corporation and Brand, providing a clear physical address and social media sameAs links to Ego Pharmaceuticals. A major gap exists where the site claims to have a team of experts but provides no names, professional credentials, or Person schema to verify these individuals. The technical authority of the brand is further damaged by the 75% failure rate of the sub-pages analyzed, which is a significant red flag for a company claiming to be at the forefront of innovation.

QV makes specific performance assertions such as support the skin barrier and hydrate for up to 24 hours without providing visible clinical methodology. The marketing tone suggests a high degree of medical rigor, yet the site demonstrates standard consumer e-commerce functionality without case studies or physician-led white papers. The disconnect is most visible in the contrast between the high-brow Science Says signaling and the broken technical links of the international sub-sites.

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.
