One business identity
Give AI what it needs to understand your business.
AI Verified brings the public pieces of a business together into one business identity, with the sources behind it.
AI Verified is a public business identity registry operated by LinkDaddy LLC. It organizes publicly available business information into readable public business profiles and structured records for software.
Think of it as a business passport for the AI era.
Everyone is talking about AI visibility. We start with something more fundamental: does AI clearly understand who your business is?
Your business may already have an AI Verified record. If it does, review and claim it. If it doesn't, eligible businesses can apply to create a free public business identity.
AI Verified supports local businesses, online businesses, brands, creators, professionals and other legitimate commercial or organizational identities.
Not a government document. Not a business directory, review platform, ranking service, or AI-governance testing framework. A record does not mean a business is recommended, highly rated, safe, or trustworthy.

Why this matters for your business
AI systems have to work out whether your website, business registration, Google profile, reviews, licences, social profiles, press coverage and other public sources all belong to the same business.
AI Verified brings those signals together around one structured Business Identity.
That gives AI systems another consistent, machine-readable place to understand who your business is, which website belongs to it, and what public evidence supports that identity.
If AI systems are already retrieving information from AI Verified, it makes sense to ensure the Business Identity they can find for your company is accurate, connected and supported by the right public evidence.

Manage visibility for clients?
If you manage SEO, reputation or AI visibility for businesses, their public identity is another layer worth checking. Make sure each client's website, business information and supporting public sources are correctly connected.

It does not guarantee that AI Verified—or an individual business—was cited, recommended or displayed in a generated answer. Activity shown is across the AI Verified platform, not an individual business record.

Ordered by request volume. A larger count is not a partnership or an endorsement.
How this is measured
Source: Cloudflare AI Crawl Control. Figures use a rolling seven-day window and refresh about once an hour. AI answer retrievals are requests Cloudflare classifies as AI Search or AI Assistant. AI crawler requests also include AI crawler and search-engine crawler categories. Exact answer retrievals: 28,259. Exact crawler requests: 228,412.
The original public sources remain the evidence. AI Verified organizes them around one Business Identity. It does not replace a registrar, a licensing board, or the business's own website.
Who it is for
Built for more than local businesses
From home-service companies and e-commerce stores to creators, consultants, brands and independent representatives, AI Verified is designed for businesses whose identity may exist across many different public sources.
Home servicesPlumbers, roofers, electricians and other local trades. A map listing can help. It is not required.
Online storesA brand and a website, with or without a shop door.
Authors, creators and personal brandsAuthors, speakers, studios and creator brands with a public identity — not just a stack of social profiles.
Consultants and professionalsA practitioner and a firm can be related without being one record.
Brands and trading namesThe name customers see, and the legal entity behind it.
Independent representativesYour own public identity, associated with another company. Not the same as that company.
The way customers search is changing
From searching for businesses to asking AI.
Traditional search makes the customer gather and compare the information. AI lets them ask a much more detailed question at once.
The old way
Search. Open. Check. Compare.

The shift is already happening
AI is becoming part of local business discovery.
Google still matters. But customers are increasingly using AI alongside search, maps, reviews and business websites when researching local businesses.

When AI builds the candidate list, what will it understand about your business?
Location, service area, licences, reputation, availability and the sources behind the business can all matter to the question being asked.
Why this matters
AI questions are more specific.
A detailed question gives AI more to understand about what the customer needs — and more business information to evaluate.

Detailed questions need usable business information. AI Verified does not invent a recommendation, a rating, or a licence.

Questions
What is an AI Verified business passport?
It is one public business identity that brings together your basic business information and the supporting records that apply to you. People can read the public profile, and software can inspect the structured version. “Business passport” is a simple way to describe the idea — it is not a government document.
Why bring my business information together in one place?
Your business may already appear across your website, registrations, licences, business profiles and publications. AI Verified gives those pieces one organised home, making it easier for people and software to see a fuller picture of the same business.
How can Gold help AI understand my business?
Gold lets you add more relevant supporting information to your business identity. A fuller, well-organised record gives AI systems more useful information to inspect when they encounter your business. AI providers still decide which sources they use and which businesses they mention.
What can I add with Gold?
Add the records that genuinely apply to your business — such as business registrations, licences, established business profiles, business identifiers, trademarks and publications. You can keep building the same profile as your business grows.
What is the difference between Bronze, Silver and Gold?
Bronze is your free basic business identity. Silver is the same profile after the listed website has been connected through the supported website check. Gold is the paid version that lets you expand the same business identity with relevant supporting records.
What if I do not have a licence, trademark or another type of record?
Skip it. Gold is not about filling every box. It is about adding the records and sources that genuinely apply to your business.
Can I keep improving my Gold profile?
Yes. Gold is designed to be an expandable business identity. As your business changes, you can add relevant new records, profiles and public references to the same profile.
Can I share my AI Verified profile?
Yes. Your profile is designed to be shared from your website and other places where customers or software may want to inspect your business information.
