Authority Audit · Vellum
Jesse Tunnicliff and Vellum lack foundational online authority, with no search rankings for the name, minimal media coverage from non-tier-1 outlets, and absence from Wikipedia and major social platforms. Immediate priority should be establishing verifiable media presence and a Wikipedia page with credible sourcing to build baseline credibility across AI systems and search engines.
Priority fixes
Ranked by impact on the score. Each links straight to the service that closes it.
Establish a neutral, well-sourced Wikipedia page, backed by a money-back guarantee.
Fix thisFeed the models the authoritative, structured coverage they cite, so they describe you accurately.
Fix thisEstablish a Google Knowledge Panel so your verified facts show beside your name in search.
Fix thisClaim and lock a clean, consistent handle across the platforms that matter.
Fix thisThe full breakdown
- No overtly negative results on your first page.
- Of the top 10: 2 owned/professional, 0 tier-1 press, 0 reference sources, 3 social, 0 thin or syndicated.
- Nothing recognizable or encyclopedic ranks for your name, so a searcher has no way to verify who you are.
- Found 10 distinct outlets covering you.
- You have coverage, but none of it is in the tier-1 outlets buyers and journalists recognize.
- ChatGPT: no reliable info. ChatGPT claims no reliable information available.
- Claude: no reliable info. Claude claims no reliable information available.
- When AI cannot describe you accurately, every buyer who asks it about you hears silence or worse.
- No Wikipedia article matches you. Wikipedia is the single biggest input to the Google Knowledge Panel and to what AI assistants state as fact about you.
- No Google Business Profile or Trustpilot page is indexed for Vellum. There are no reviews to clean up, so this is neutral, not a gap.
- Discoverable on Instagram.
- Missing or not discoverable on TikTok, YouTube, X.
How this was measured
- Google first-page results and Knowledge Panel via a live SERP scan.
- Wikipedia via the official Wikipedia REST API.
- AI visibility by asking ChatGPT and Claude, the assistants people actually use, who you are.
- Reputation via Google rating, Trustpilot presence, and negative-sentiment results.
- Handle consistency across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X from indexed profiles.
