Service page proof map

List every claim on a service page, put its proof within one scroll, and find the claims that have nothing under them.

One map per service page. Fill the proof inventory first, then the claim table. If a claim has no proof you can show, rewrite it as what you do or remove it.

Check the finished page on a phone. The order on the map is the order on the screen, and each claim should still be next to its proof.

1. Page

  • Page URL and service name
  • Who this page is for (one sentence)
  • The one call to action (CTA) and where it goes

2. Proof inventory

List what you actually have. Zero rows is a valid answer. Do not add a row you cannot show.

Proof itemTypeCan we show it? (permission, date)Supports which claim
  • Types used: artifact link, permissioned fact, quote, process description. Not "trusted by" with no context
  • Any figure has who measured it, when, and what it does not prove

3. Claim to proof map

One row per claim a reader would repeat to a colleague. Position numbers: 1 credibility line, 2 beside the claim, 3 process, 4 limits, 5 before the CTA.

ClaimPosition (1-5)Proof on the pageWithin one scroll? (Y/N)
  • Every N is fixed: proof moved next to the claim, or the claim is rewritten or removed

4. Five positions check

  • Under the headline: one specific, checkable line (not "industry-leading")
  • Beside each major claim: one piece of evidence tied to that exact claim
  • In the process: named deliverables at each step, not adjectives
  • At the objection: scope limits and exclusions in plain words
  • Before the CTA: what happens next, who replies, by when. No new claims here

5. Phone check

  • Claim and proof are still adjacent when blocks stack
  • No auto-advancing carousel carries proof. The strongest item is plain text
  • Proof that affects the decision is not hidden behind a tab by default
  • First screen stays light. A proof image above the fold is checked as the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) element

6. Reviews and markup

  • Testimonials about our own company: read Google’s review snippet guidelines on self-serving reviews before adding structured data
  • Every claim in the markup is visible on the page
