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.

Authority gaps are primarily technical; the site lacks structured Person schema for its blog authors or financial advisors, referring only to ‘gestores experientes’ in a generic sense. There is a significant technical authority gap evidenced by the total absence of H1 tags on the Homepage and the Blog page, and the repetition of H2 tags on the homepage, suggesting a disconnect between the brand’s ‘innovation’ claims and its actual technical execution.

The disconnect is low because the site focuses on measurable financial deliverables rather than abstract outcomes. For instance, the claim of being the ‘Best Bank’ is not a vague assertion but is explicitly linked to the Euromoney 2025 award. The only minor disconnect is the ‘Salto’ blog’s promise of supporting ‘every jump’ while providing generic lifestyle content like ’11 summer festivals,’ which has tangential financial relevance.

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.
