02 / HOW TO READ THE DATA
Directional by design.
Transparent about limits.
Public evidence only
The review uses publicly accessible homepage evidence. It does not assess private performance data, client service quality or live AI recommendations.
One repeatable model
Every page is assessed across entity clarity, service relevance, geographic relevance, trust signals, content depth, answerability and technical discoverability.
Aggregate reporting
Individual firms are not ranked or named. Scores are summarized by market to reveal patterns without turning a limited sample into a league table.
03 / FIELD NOTES
Turn the benchmark into action.
Practical analysis for firms improving the clarity, usefulness and credibility of their public website evidence.
