Information Density — The Lens

Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Info Density Power-words vs. Substance ratio.
12 Impact Weight: 30 / 100
40% Reputation

The site suffers from high fluff saturation in its heading hierarchy, with H2s like Why work with Martin & Co? and Helpful guides to buying, selling or letting providing zero technical specificity. Most critically, the primary performance metrics in the H3 blocks on the homepage are broken, displaying Every 0 minutes for both letting and selling claims, which suggests the substance is unpopulated template air. While a few numbers are present (e.g., 78,000 properties), they are buried under layers of marketing filler like safe hands and peace of mind.

Information Density is read straight from the body copy: how much of the text carries grounded, checkable substance versus hollow filler. Below is the clean text the engine analyzed, then the industry’s known generic-claim patterns to weigh it against.
