Third-party corroboration

Engines trust what others say about you, not just what you say about yourself. Independent mentions corroborate that you’re real and reputable — they’re outside verification the engine can lean on.

Why this matters

This is partly L1 and partly L2. We can read your declared profiles from the page (L1), but the true spread of who mentions you only shows up in a live web-wide mention audit (L2).

How to improve it

• Earn mentions and citations on reputable independent sites — directories, local press, partner sites, industry bodies.
• Keep your name, address and phone identical everywhere you appear (NAP consistency) so mentions can be matched to you.
• Claim and complete profiles on the platforms that matter for your sector, and declare presence on high-signal domains via your sameAs array.

How to check it worked

A brand-mention audit reveals the true picture across the web (L2). On-page, make sure your sameAs and NAP are consistent so any corroboration out there can be tied back to you.

An honest caveat

Corroboration is earned over time — there’s no shortcut, and we never buy or fake mentions. Bought signals are a liability, not an asset.
