Question 1

What is AI Verified?

Accepted Answer

AI Verified is an open business identity registry that publishes machine-readable Passport records with SHA-256 identifiers and stated evidence. It is designed to make business identity information clearer for people and systems that choose to use public web data.

Question 2

How does AI Verified work?

Accepted Answer

AI Verified distinguishes three evidence states. Bronze records document public business evidence. Silver requires current domain control and a live AI Verified badge. Gold requires current domain and badge evidence, owner-supplied registration information, and an AI Verified registry-match review. Each public record has a persistent SHA-256 identifier and machine-readable representation.

Question 3

Is AI Verified free?

Accepted Answer

Bronze public records and Silver domain-and-badge claims are available without a monthly subscription. Gold Passport verification is $99 per year direct, following review of the required evidence. AI Verified does not currently publish monthly Silver, Gold, or Platinum offers.

Question 4

Why is AI Verified different from Google Business Profile?

Accepted Answer

A Google Business Profile can be public evidence for a Bronze record. AI Verified publishes a separate Passport page that identifies the evidence state, public record details where available, and a persistent SHA-256 identifier. A Gold Passport may additionally document a reviewed registration match.

Question 5

Which AI systems can read an AI Verified passport?

Accepted Answer

AI Verified publishes JSON-LD and machine-readable record pages that public web systems may parse. AI Verified does not control whether any crawler, model, answer engine, or search product accesses, cites, ranks, or recommends a record.

Question 6

How long does it take to get AI Verified?

Accepted Answer

Timing depends on the evidence path. A public Bronze record may be created from reviewed public evidence. Silver requires recorded domain control and a live badge check. Gold requires owner-supplied registration evidence and an AI Verified review; no evidence state is issued merely because a form was submitted.

Question 7

What countries does AI Verified support?

Accepted Answer

AI Verified accepts public evidence and owner claims from businesses internationally. The available public observation and registration-match evidence depends on the business location, the supplied documentation, and the current review policy.

Question 8

What is a business AI passport?

Accepted Answer

A business Passport is an AI Verified public record with a persistent SHA-256 identifier. It can describe documented public business evidence and, at Gold, an owner-supplied registration match. The record identifies its evidence state rather than claiming that every business fact or service has been independently verified.
