Ordnance Survey
(https://ordnancesurvey.co.uk) 📸 Data Snapshot: May 31, 2026Inspect 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.
The primary authority gap is technical rather than narrative. The absence of structured data (schema_json is null) and missing meta descriptions on the homepage and contact pages represent a failure to implement the technical authority they claim in the ‘digital-first’ mapping space. However, naming specific groups like ‘OS Field Surveyors’ provides tangible human authority.
The performance claims are largely grounded in statutory or technical reality. The claim of maintaining 600 million features is a measurable metric, and the support pages for the PSGA (Public Sector Geospatial Agreement) provide direct evidence of their role in government policy. Subjective claims like ‘Britain’s most loved maps’ are the only minor disconnects.
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.
