How we scored it
How it works

Three steps from invisible to citable

Authority isn’t a vanity metric. It’s whether Google, ChatGPT, and Perplexity can find you, trust you, and recommend you by name. Here’s how we measured it.

1

We measured what's public

We searched every name across the open web, social platforms, and Google's entity signals — then scored four dimensions of authority.

2

We graded against the room

Each person is ranked #1–64 and benchmarked against the workshop average, so you see exactly where you stand.

3

We handed you the playbook

Every audit ends with a 15-page PDF and a 10-skill Claude pack — the precise steps to climb the leaderboard.

Methodology

Four pillars, one score

Every score combines four weighted dimensions. Data sources: BlitzMetrics Knowledge Graph Explorer, DataForSEO, and open-web research. Low scores aren’t failures — they’re the biggest upside in the room.

25%

Web presence

Do you own a name-domain home, and how strong is it as a citable entity anchor?

25%

Social footprint

Reach, consistency, and breadth across the platforms where your audience lives.

35%

Press & entity signal

Third-party corroboration — mentions, bylines, podcasts, awards — that machines trust.

15%

Knowledge-Panel readiness

How close you are to a Google Knowledge Panel and AI-engine citation.
