Shepherd Neame
(https://shepherdneame.co.uk) 📸 Data Snapshot: June 19, 2026
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.
15
Impact Weight: 15 / 100
100% Reputation
Authority is explicitly established with no gaps. Chief Executive Jonathan Neame is identified with specific credentials (DL, Barrister-at-law) and linked via Person schema to a LinkedIn profile. The organization schema is comprehensive, including LEI codes, VAT IDs, and Companies House registration numbers (138256).
Claims regarding community impact are backed by specific figures, such as a £30,000 fundraising pledge for KSS and a 50p donation per kids’ meal. The marketing tone remains grounded in operational reality, such as naming specific partner clubs like Kent Cricket and Millwall FC. Performance isn’t just claimed; it is demonstrated through its listed status and physical estate size.
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.
