Ecotricity
(https://ecotricity.co.uk) 📸 Data Snapshot: May 29, 2026Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Trust theatre is minimal. While the site features standard trust badges like ‘Which? Eco Provider’ and ‘The Vegan Society,’ it avoids the trap of unverified review carousels. Instead, it provides a ‘proof path’ through live generation data links and references to national standards like the ‘Retail Energy Code’ (recportal.co.uk/smis), moving beyond mere marketing theatre into regulatory transparency.
Proof density is high, evidenced by the disclosure of actual installation numbers versus targets for every year from 2022 to 2025. For example, stating they hit 3,719 installs against a target of 11,873 shows a level of transparency (even when targets are missed) that is the opposite of bullshit. Most pages are dominated by verifiable technical procedures rather than vague assertions.
Trust & Proof is read by weighing trust language against real verification. Below is the page-by-page tally of review mentions and external proof links, then the schema markup that may (or may not) declare verifiable ratings and identity proof.
