Update brief · priority 1 of 25

/tint-laws/louisiana

What is wrong
The page lists front side windows at 40% VLT under a review date from this year.
Evidence it changed
La. R.S. 32:361.1(C)(1), amended by Acts 2025 No. 143, requires at least 25% from August 1, 2025. Checked November 5, 2026.
Suggested change
Set the Louisiana front side row to 25%, cite the statute, and add the effective date to the table note.
Human review
10 minutes
Risk if left
Readers act on the number, and a fresh date over an old figure costs trust fast.

The $149 report counts toward an audit ordered within 30 days. Audits are half on order, half on delivery, or pay upfront and take 10% off; if one is late, the upfront half comes back. Publish-ready rewrites, placed in your CMS as drafts, start at $400.

Questions

Will this improve my rankings?

Nobody can honestly promise rankings, traffic or a place in AI answers, and we don't. We find what is wrong, show the evidence and say what to do about it. You decide what to publish.

Do you need access to my site?

No. We read your public pages. A Search Console export covering the last 16 months sharpens the investigate calls, and read-only access is all it takes.

What counts as a primary source?

Whatever actually decides the fact: the statute, the regulator's page, the court opinion, the official fee schedule, the manufacturer's spec sheet. Another blog repeating it doesn't count.

Which sites is this for?

Independent publishers, affiliate and review sites, niche information sites and small businesses whose blog carries their search traffic. Usually 100 to 2,000 pages. Bigger than that, write and we'll scope it.

Who does the work?

David Ruhm, who has spent fifteen years in content marketing and SEO. Each audit pairs a full crawl with a page-by-page read, and every flagged claim is checked against its source before it reaches your report.

Do you rewrite the pages?

Only if you add the drafting service. Rewrites go into your CMS as drafts for you to review. We never publish anything.

How do I pay?

Half when you order and half on delivery, in US dollars. Pay the full price upfront and take 10% off. If we deliver late, the upfront half is refunded.
