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.

Authority is verified through named editorial staff and extensive schema profiles. The use of specific bylines like ‘Bill Addison’ and ‘Jenn Harris’ includes description, job titles, and email addresses in the structured data, satisfying the requirements for verifiable expert footprints. Technical implementation of Article and ItemList schema is clean and supports authority claims.
There is no disconnect between claims and evidence. Performance is demonstrated through the volume and quality of the reporting itself. Claims like ‘Best restaurants to try’ are immediately supported by 101 specific, named, and mapped locations with technical descriptions of cuisine and pricing.
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.
