USA.gov
(https://www.usa.gov) 📸 Data Snapshot: May 16, 2026Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Trust theatre is virtually non-existent as the site relies on institutional authority rather than social proof. The review_count is 0 across all pages, which is appropriate for a government portal that does not require customer testimonials to validate its mandate. While the proof_links_count is low in the crawled data, the text provides specific names of federal agencies like HUD, USCIS, and the Social Security Administration as the source of truth.
Proof density is high due to the specificity of the nouns and programs mentioned. Across the 6 pages, there are dozens of references to specific tools (benefit finder), laws (labor laws, immigration violations), and agencies (USCIS, ICE, HUD). The site acts as a gateway to evidence, fulfilling its primary signal of being a directory.
Trust & Proof is read by weighing trust language against real verification. Below is the page-by-page tally of review mentions and external proof links, then the schema markup that may (or may not) declare verifiable ratings and identity proof.
