Authority Audit · Year
Elizabeth Hemingway's authority score of 46/100 reflects fragmented presence across critical channels: only 44% search visibility, solid media coverage from tier-1 outlets, but critical gaps in AI knowledge bases, Wikipedia representation, and consistent social identity. Priority action is Wikipedia page creation with robust sourcing to anchor credibility across discovery systems and close the emerging-stage authority ceiling.

Fix thisThe full breakdown
- No overtly negative results on your first page.
- Of the top 9: 1 owned/professional, 1 tier-1 press, 2 reference sources, 1 social, 0 thin or syndicated.
- Found 12 distinct outlets covering you, 6 tier-1 (pbs.org, sports.yahoo.com, cnn.com, reuters.com, bbc.com).
- Claude: no reliable info. Claude appropriately states lack of reliable information about this person.
- 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 Year. There are no reviews to clean up, so this is neutral, not a gap.
- No major social profile surfaces in search for you.
- Missing or not discoverable on Instagram, 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.
