Leeds Live
(https://www.leeds-live.co.uk) 📸 Data Snapshot: May 22, 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 signals are substantiated by technical forensic evidence rather than just theatre. The site uses sophisticated JSON-LD schema to identify as a NewsMediaOrganization and links to a verified publishing principles page. While the review_count data provided in the crawl is ambiguous (possibly referring to internal article comments), the presence of named journalists and outbound links to official sources like the Met Office and West Yorkshire Police provides a verifiable proof path for most claims.
Proof density is high across all pillars. The site relies on specific evidence points: ’33C record-breaking heatwave,’ ’13 tech firms,’ and ’38 bodies’ are specific, falsifiable assertions. This ratio of verifiable evidence to vague assertions is superior to most corporate sites, as the core product is the delivery of factual information rather than the sale of an abstract service.
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.
