ACT THREE · VERIFY · PROOF PAGES
Your score, in public, with the flaws left in.
A proof page is a live scorecard for your site that anyone can check: your TrustGrowth Score, the Google-verified search data behind it, and the open issues next to the wins. It updates itself, it travels as a badge, and it's believable precisely because it doesn't flatter you. Publishing is a toggle — off by default.

Its numbers will have changed by the time you click. Yours would too.

What “verified” means on yours
Every number on your proof page says where it came from — and the word verified appears only where Google earned it. Your clicks, impressions, CTR, and positions come from first-party Search Console, with property ownership re-checked daily. That's what makes the page citable: when a client or investor checks it, the data layer isn't your word, it's Google's.
The score is ours, and the page says so. Clean provenance is the feature — nobody can accuse your page of dressing up its numbers, because it labels them.
THE PROVENANCE LEDGER · WHO VOUCHES FOR WHAT
- clicks · impressions · CTR · position
- verified by Google — first-party Search Console
- keyword rows
- verified by Google — keyword-only, deliberately
- the property connection
- re-checked daily; lose it and the proof hides
- TrustGrowth Score
- measured by TrustGrowth, and labeled — versioned formula, promotion-audited
- tier badge
- earned at 60+; below that the score stands alone, greyed
- E-E-A-T · content · AI visibility
- measured by TrustGrowth, and labeled
Why it convinces
Self-reported dashboards convince nobody — everyone has seen a screenshot with the bad rows cropped out. A proof page is engineered the other way: when something can't be said honestly about your site, the page says so instead of saying something else. Two of those refusals, exactly as the template ships them:
REAL OUTPUT · WHEN YOUR FOOTPRINT IS TOO SMALL TO BENCHMARK
“…verified rankings do not yet carry enough footprint to register against the benchmark set, so the comparative index rounds to zero.”
A zero, explained. Early-stage sites get honest treatment, not humiliation or inflation.
REAL OUTPUT · WHAT STAYS PRIVATE ON EVERY PROOF PAGE
“Public ranking highlights stay keyword-only. Competitor identities and private opportunity metadata remain off the proof page.”
What you pay for is not what you publish.
And open issues stay visible until an audit closes them — which is exactly why the finished wins on your page are worth something.
The point of the page is to show the current baseline and the remaining work, not just finished wins.
See yours before you publish anything.
Publishing is a toggle, and it starts off.
The badge you can take anywhere
Your proof travels: an embeddable badge for your site or README, a JSON endpoint for anything programmatic, a PNG scorecard for a deck or a DM. The badge renders here at actual size — 220 by 48 — because that's the fact being communicated.
The badge, the JSON, and the page render from the same payload — three doors into one record.
The board you'd be joining
Proof pages share a public leaderboard. This is it, live — not a screenshot:
— rows are scored, untiered: tiers start at 60 and render greyed below it.
These are live. Open one before you believe this page.
Entry is the same for everyone: connect Search Console, get scored, flip the toggle. Tiers are earned, not included — which is what makes reaching one worth showing.
WHAT THIS DOES NOT SAY
A proof page covers what GSC verifies plus what TrustGrowth measures and labels. It does not show competitor identities, does not backdate scores when formulas improve (the promotion is audited and flagged on the page), and cannot prove causation for anything. The board is small today; it is our own portfolio plus early users, and it says so.

Get my score
Connecting Search Console creates a private score. Publishing it is a separate toggle, off by default, reversible — and your page will show open issues next to wins, because that is what makes it worth anything.
