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.

There is a significant technical authority gap: despite claiming ‘Digital’ expertise, the schema_json is null across all 6 pages. Furthermore, founders Arnaud Van Cutsem and Bertrand Van den Dooren are named in the text, but they lack Person schema or sameAs social links, leaving their digital footprint disconnected from the site’s authority structure.

The site makes bold claims about ‘creating value’ and ‘concrete results,’ but the project summaries (Projets) are descriptive rather than metric-heavy. While the agency provides its own revenue growth metrics, it fails to provide similar ‘before-and-after’ ROI or conversion percentages for the clients listed in the portfolio.

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.
