Authority starts with public proof.
Technical SEO is no longer the bottleneck. The next constraint is public trust: proof pages, credible citations, partner mentions, guest visibility, and client-approved case assets.
Four authority surfaces, one proof source.
Each lane points back to public proof instead of vague brand claims.
| Lane | Public asset | Action | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| PR | /press | Use the press kit and proof links for journalist research, launch notes, and editorial pitches. | Started |
| Credible directories | /press | Use the 50-word profile, company facts, and proof URLs for Swiss, European, and AI-company directories. | Started |
| Partner pages and guest mentions | /case-studies/saltaai-seo-foundation | Route partners to public proof instead of private run logs. Guest mentions should cite the finished loop and monitoring standard. | Started |
| Client proof assets | /pricing | Turn completed client work into public-safe assets only after client approval. Unapproved client data stays private. | Started |
Credible before broad.
The first acquisition batch avoids mass-directory spam. Each target must pass relevance, public-quality, account, payment, and claim-safety checks before any external action.

Authority is only useful if it stays honest.
Authority is only useful if it strengthens trust without leaking private material or buying weak links.
No paid directory placements without explicit approval
No account creation, phone verification, passkey, CAPTCHA, or 2FA bypass
No client names, metrics, logos, or quotes without written approval
No claims of guaranteed rankings, market leadership, or proprietary model ownership
No raw provider payloads, credentials, OAuth material, or private internal run logs
Turn proof into authority.
Start with the press kit, then route partners and directories to public proof instead of vague brand claims.
