Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
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.
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Count 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.
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
Inspect 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.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.
Based on 119 businesses audited.
Cleaning, Maintenance & Janitorial Services BS: Anglo Scottish Pest Control (anglopestcontrol.scot)
This is a rare example of a local service website with almost zero bullshit. It relies on its 37-year history, named high-profile clients, and professional certifications rather than generic marketing hyperbole. The site is a high-substance tool for conversion through proof, not fluff.
To reach a sub-5 score, include the specific BPCA membership or certificate number in the footer. Add a dedicated page or section for Insurance and Health and Safety documents (COSHH) to fulfill the industry proof expectations for commercial clients. Consider adding specific price ranges for standard domestic call-outs to eliminate the minor ambiguity in priceRange.
The site is a perfect match for the Pest Control and Maintenance category. The content specifically details rodent, insect, and bird management protocols consistent with UK standards.
“The score of 13 was primarily driven by minor commodity fingerprinting (5) and small concept repetitions (2). The site achieved a 0 in Semantic Coherence and Identity and Authority due to its exceptional technical SEO implementation and highly consistent messaging across all sub-pages.”
