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 2182 businesses audited.
Base Restaurant has 8.6 points less BS than the average for Food, Restaurants & Delivery.
Food, Restaurants & Delivery BS: Base Restaurant (www.baserestaurant.co.uk)
Base Restaurant is a high-substance local business hindered by amateur technical SEO and a lack of ‘last-mile’ verification for its prestigious claims. It scores a 34 because it prioritizes logistical clarity (booking rules, locations) over marketing hallucinations, though it fails to technically prove its AA Rosette status. The BS present is ‘accidental’—stemming from technical laziness rather than intentional deception.
Immediately replace the H1 tags containing an email address with specific, brand-led headings like ‘Casual Fine Dining in Ulverston.’ Create a dedicated ‘Suppliers’ section naming the specific Cumbrian farms and local businesses mentioned in the ‘locally sourced’ claims. Add outbound links to the official AA Rosette guide and the chef’s professional social profiles to verify the ‘award-winning’ status. Incorporate ‘sameAs’ properties into the schema_json to link to TripAdvisor, Michelin, or AA entries for third-party validation.
The website perfectly aligns with the Food, Restaurants & Delivery sector, specifically focusing on ‘Casual Fine Dining’ and event hosting. The content confirms this through detailed booking policies for tasting menus, references to local sourcing, and wedding packages.
“The score of 34 is driven by strong Semantic Coherence and moderate Information Density, offset by gaps in Identity and Authority. The lack of verified proof paths for the 'Award-winning' and 'AA Rosette' claims prevented a 'Minimal BS' score. Technical failures in heading hierarchy (H1 email) and the absence of supplier names contributed to the Identity and Authority penalty.”
