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.

Information Density 0 / 30
Read the Narrative & headings: do hard facts (prices, dates, numbers) outweigh fluff power-words?
Semantic Coherence 0 / 20
Compare the homepage promise against the sub-page reality. Do they hold the same line?
Trust & Proof 0 / 20
Weigh review mentions against actual external proof links. Claims without verification = theatre.
Commodity Fingerprint 0 / 15
Check headings & narrative against the industry clichés in the setup above.
Identity & Authority 0 / 15
Inspect the schema: is there real Organization/Person identity with sameAs links, or gaps?
Your predicted BS score 0 / 100
💡 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.

Information Density

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.

Semantic Alignment

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.

Trust & Proof

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.

Commodity Fingerprint

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.

Identity & Authority

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.

https://www.la-pergola.co.uk 📍 Industry: Food, Restaurants & Delivery
22 BS / 100

La Pergola is a high-substance, low-BS operation that prioritizes utility over persuasion. By providing transparent pricing and granular menu details, it bridges the gap between marketing signal and operational reality almost entirely. It is a rare example of a site where the content serves the customer rather than the algorithm.

27% BS

To reach a near-zero BS score, the restaurant should name the local suppliers to back the ‘locally sourced’ claim. They should also add an outbound link to their Food Hygiene Rating on the FSA website. Adding Person schema for the Passarelli family members mentioned in the text would bridge the remaining authority gap. Finally, hyperlinking the ‘Ciao Italia UK’ award to the official registry would eliminate the last traces of trust theatre.

The website perfectly aligns with the Food, Restaurants & Delivery category. The content is dominated by high-density menu data, operational hours, and specific dietary indicators (GF, vegetarian) characteristic of a functional dining establishment.

“The score of 22 is driven primarily by the 'Commodity Fingerprint' and 'Trust and Proof' pillars. The use of common industry terms like 'authentic' and 'homemade' without linked third-party validation prevents a perfect score, but the extreme density of specific pricing and menu data keeps the score well within the 'Minimal BS' range.”
