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.

Authority gaps are minimal but present regarding individual adviser verification. While advisers like Sophia, Matthew, and Nikki are named on the Financial Advice page, there is no Person schema or direct SameAs links to their individual FCA register entries. Matthew’s bio provides a high-substance detail by stating he is ‘currently working towards becoming a Chartered Financial Planner,’ which is a transparent disclosure that reduces BS. The Corporation schema for Aviva plc is robust, including ticker symbols, LEI codes, and VAT IDs, grounding the digital presence in physical corporate reality.

Performance claims are largely connected to verifiable business volume. The claim of paying out £29.3 billion in 2024 is a bold performance metric that is specific and dated, preventing it from being classified as fluff. Marketing tone is used to frame the data (e.g., ‘we walk the talk’), but the core claim remains measurable. There are no ‘guaranteed returns’ or high-pressure tactics that would trigger red flags in a financial context.

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.
