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.

A significant technical gap exists: despite claiming to be a ‘data agency,’ there is zero schema_json detected in the crawl. There is no Organization or Person schema to verify the ‘Paolo Broussard’ or ‘Wes Fossile’ mentioned on the Work page. This lack of structured data creates a disconnect between their ‘Intelligence’ positioning and their technical implementation.

There is almost no disconnect between the marketing tone and the proof provided. Every bold performance claim in the H4 tags (e.g., ‘+51% YoY increase in brand searches’) is tied to a specific, named enterprise client. The site avoids the ‘results guaranteed’ red flag common in lower-tier agencies.

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.
