Leeds Live
(https://www.leeds-live.co.uk) 📸 Data Snapshot: May 22, 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.
Authority gaps are minimal as the site utilizes named editorial staff with clear beats, such as Isaac Johnson on sports. The structured data is robust, containing sameAs links to social profiles and clearly defining the publisher entity. The only authority gap is the lack of specific Person schema for all contributing journalists in the provided data, though the organizational authority is well-established through technical implementation.
The site makes few bold marketing claims, focusing instead on reporting. Its primary claim—being a source for ‘breaking news’—is supported by temporal evidence in article titles and live blog markers. There is no significant disconnect between the site’s self-positioning as a local news leader and the actual volume of localized, dated content provided across all crawled sub-pages.
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.
