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 primarily institutional. While the organization schema is robust, including a [foundingDate: 1901] and verified [FCA] status, there is a lack of named individual authority. No [Person] schema is utilized for the medical specialists or clinical teams mentioned, leaving a slight gap in personal expert footprint despite the high company credibility.
There is virtually no disconnect between marketing claims and demonstrated capability. Bold claims regarding being ‘No. 1’ are cited with [Fairer Finance PMI index] and the [Which? 2025 Survey], providing a verified foundation for the marketing tone. The site demonstrates its expertise by providing a [Health insurance glossary] and explaining underwriting risks.
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.
