Report proof
Every useful path starts with a public website report: authority, safety, freshness, visible findings, source labels, and the next owner action.
Methodology
How AboutUs builds a website trust record
AboutUs turns public website, infrastructure, ownership, and visitor-demand signals into a practical trust record for a domain. Facts, not verdicts: the report explains what is known, what is stale, what needs proof, and what the owner can do next.
Live profile quality
Launch checks sample deployed profiles and reports so AboutUs proves the public product is useful before calling a release healthy.
DNS proof
Owner control waits for domain verification. A claimant must prove control with a DNS TXT record before official facts or paid setup move forward.
Owner-tool scope
Monitoring, lead capture, exports, and sponsored discovery stay attached to a report and verified owner context. No blind payment starts from a generic page.
Source handling
AboutUs favors public, repeatable signals and visible source labels. Scores should help readers decide what to inspect next; they are not legal, financial, or security certifications.
- Public crawl
- Current website text, response status, HTTPS state, and page-level evidence that can be rechecked.
- Authority signals
- Tranco, Open PageRank, DNS, TLS, RDAP, ASN, and related public infrastructure signals where available.
- Owner submissions
- Corrections and official facts are reviewed and tied to the claim flow instead of overwriting public evidence immediately.
- Visitor demand
- Searches and requested websites help decide which reports deserve crawler, review, and owner-ready attention first.
Owner safety promise
AboutUs does not ask for sensitive account access to prove a website claim. The owner path is scoped to a report, a DNS proof step, and reviewable public facts.
