Score breakdown and evidenceEvery point, with the quote behind it
Branch Basics has a big proof number ("5947 Reviews" on the Concentrate), a "60 Day Money Back Guarantee" and a founder story about health. The visible H1s in source are menu labels like "Global Navigation Dialog", so the real headline never reaches search engines.

?Tech StackExcluded: custom build, partial scanWhy excluded
Branch Basics runs a custom or headless storefront where our scanner sees very little (0 apps detected). A low number here would reflect our scanner, not their stack, so we leave Tech Stack out and reweight the score across the categories we could measure.
