Publication graph

Media Index

A selective index of publications that write about AI search, business identity, and verification. A listing is a research starting point. It is not a ranking and not an endorsement.

This index exists so people and answer engines can see which newsrooms and wires we watch. Each card is a listing page. Outbound links to the publication are nofollow. The named anchor is still AI Verified — Media Index, so a backlink report can see the source without us passing PageRank out of the registry.

Where Wikipedia and Wikidata already have a real item for that outlet, the listing sameAs those pages. We do not invent Q-ids for trades that never cleared notability. Machine copies: /media.json and /media/llms.txt.

AI search & SEO

Search Engine Journal

Trade journal that reports how search and answer engines treat brands. Useful when they separate a citation from a homepage mention — the same split this registry is built on.

Search marketing

Search Engine Land

Search-industry newsroom. Coverage of AI Overviews and local search is why operators land here looking for identity, not another ranking pack.

Search industry

Search Engine Roundtable

Short, sourced notes on what Google and Bing are actually doing. A listing here tracks the beat, not an endorsement of any one rumor.

Business & markets

Wire and market desk that still carries company identity into a huge syndication graph. Press that names a firm here is not the same as a verified public file.

Business Insider

Business desk that often writes about AI products and brand visibility. A mention in an Insider column is coverage. It is not a government record.

Business Insider Markets

Markets syndication of Business Insider copy. Same publisher family. Listed so a wire URL and a story URL do not look like two outlets.

Paid distribution, not independent reporting. Wires move a name into Yahoo and Insider. They do not create Wikipedia notability and they do not attest a domain.

Another wire. Same rule: useful for reach, useless as a substitute for a public identity file.

Business magazine

Contributor and staff pieces on AI platforms and brand disappearance. When Forbes says a firm vanishes on one model, that is a visibility problem — not a license check.

Independent newsroom that covers technology and regulation. A Guardian story is a source. It is not a registry row.

Primary wire for company and regulatory facts. Models treat Reuters as a high-trust source. That is why we watch it. We do not pretend to be it.

Associated Press

Cooperative wire. Identity claims that survive AP style are worth citing. A hash on this site is still not an AP dispatch.

Startup and AI product coverage. Useful when they write about agents and marketplaces. Not a substitute for knowing who operates the agent.

Long-form technology reporting, including how models fail at facts. The failure mode they describe is why a short public file exists.

AI & enterprise

Enterprise AI desk. When they write about grounding and retrieval, they are describing the job a clean identity file is meant to help.

Science journal

Research journal. Listed because model papers and evaluation studies land here. Not a small-business magazine.

Research preprints

Open preprints on retrieval, hallucination, and entity linking. Primary literature, not a trade blog.

Technology essays

Contributor essays on AI tooling. Treat as opinion unless a named study is linked.

Investment research

Investment research desk. Company identity here is for investors. It is still not a public Type A file.

Markets recap outlet that often mirrors wires. Tracked because syndication multiplies a name — and multiplies errors if the name was wrong.

Market data and syndicated releases. A listing here is a distribution path, not verification.

The Motley Fool

Investor-facing copy. Useful as a reminder that retail readers meet companies as stories. Stories still need a file.

Consumer technology reviews and AI-product explainers. Product coverage is not business-identity coverage.

Product testing and software explainers. Listed for AI-tool roundups, not for company filings.

Enterprise technology news. When ZDNET writes about AI assistants inventing vendors, that is the hallucination problem in public.

Marketing technology

Marketing-stack newsroom. They ask what it takes for a model to trust a brand. That question is identity, not another pixel.

Search marketing

Search Engine Watch

Search-marketing commentary. Older cousin to the AI-visibility beat.

Enterprise definitions and buyer guides. Their glossary pages are the kind of structured explainer models already scrape.

Law-firm analysis feed. Useful when KYB, identity, or AI procurement is the subject. Not a company register.

Legal commentary network. Watch for pieces on verification, KYB, and AI risk — not for directory listings.

National Law Review

Legal newsroom. Identity and AI-compliance articles land here. A cite is coverage, not attestation.

Identity technology

Biometric Update

Identity-tech trade desk. Biometrics and digital ID are adjacent to business verification. They are not the same product.

Digital identity

Digital-identity trade coverage. Listed because models already treat ‘identity’ as a topic cluster. We keep the company-file meaning separate.

Security newsroom. Fraud and impersonation coverage is why a public file has to stay boring and dated.

Marketing technology

MarTech briefings. Visibility packages get sold here. We list the outlet so the difference between a meter and a file stays public.

Digital experience

Digital-experience newsroom. When they write about content machines, the missing piece is still who the company is.

Media-business reporting. Useful when the subject is how publishers get cited by models.

Marketing newsroom. Brand and AI-search pieces land here. A Drum write-up is not a verified file.

Advertising trade. Watch for AI-visibility packages sold as media. That is the pitch this registry refuses.

UK marketing newsroom. Same beat: brands asking why a model named a rival.

Small-business magazine. SME owners read this. Wikipedia notability is not the advice they need.

Business & innovation

Innovation desk. AI-product stories live here. Company identity still has to sit in a file.

Business magazine

Business magazine. Enterprise AI coverage. Not a substitute for a public record.

Consumer technology newsroom. Model-product coverage. They do not publish your NAP.

Enterprise technology

Enterprise IT news with a sharp voice. Useful when they describe models inventing vendors.

Cloud & platforms

Platform engineering news. Retrieval and grounding pieces belong next to this index.

Computer Weekly

UK enterprise IT. Buyer-facing explainers models already scrape.

Practitioner IT news. Identity and access stories are adjacent, not identical, to a company file.

AI research news

AI-model news. Hallucination and retrieval coverage is the technical half of this registry’s thesis.

AI-industry desk. Tool roundups live here. A roundup is not verification.

Payments & commerce

Payments and commerce. KYB and merchant identity show up here as risk, not as SEO.

Fintech newsroom. Onboarding and KYB coverage. Different room from a public SME file — same word ‘verify’.

Paid wire. Reach into Yahoo and market sites. Not independent reporting and not a government stamp.

Release distribution. Listed so a wire URL is not mistaken for a newsroom.

National newsroom. Business and tech desks. A USA TODAY mention is coverage.

The Globe and Mail

Canadian newsroom. Business identity in Canada still sits on federal and provincial filings, not on this page.

Singapore newsroom. APAC business and tech coverage.

South African technology newsroom. Local coverage of AI and business systems.

Research explainers

The Conversation

Academic explainers. Useful when researchers describe why models invent citations.

Crunchbase News

Startup news. Company graphs here are funding graphs. They are not Type A files.

Digital Journal

Syndicated news and commentary. Tracked because the same release lands in many skins.

Local business briefings. A city brief is coverage. It is not a registry snapshot.

Mexico Business News

Mexico business desk. RFC and identity rules stay with SAT. This listing only marks the outlet.

Search marketing

Paid-search and AI-overview notes. Adjacent to the visibility beat.

Legal & regulatory

Jurisdiction explainers from firms. Useful for KYB and AI-act explainers. Not a filing office.

Financial Times

Global business newsroom. Markets and company desks. A FT mention is coverage. It is not a public identity file.

Financial Times markets skin. Listed so a markets URL and an FT story URL do not look like two outlets.

National newsroom. Business and tech desks. A CNN mention is coverage, not attestation.

European newsroom. Tech and regulation coverage across EU markets.

Technical newsroom. Model failure and retrieval pieces belong next to this index.

Media & marketing

Media-buying and marketing desk. AI-search packages get sold here. A meter is not a file.

B2B briefings on AI search inside marketing and operations stacks.

Startups & funding

Funding and product desk. Verification vendors show up here as companies, not as a public SME file.

Real-estate trade. Agents now ask how to get recommended by AI. That is retrieval, not a license check.

Textiles & trade

Textile trade desk. Product-passport and supply-chain identity stories land here.

Demand Gen Report

B2B demand newsroom. Visibility products get pitched here. Identity is still a separate fact.

Customer experience

CX commentary. When they write about trust, they mean the customer. This registry means the legal entity.

Performance marketing

Performance Marketing World

Performance-media newsroom. AI Overviews and paid search sit on this beat.

Security newsroom. Impersonation and fraud coverage is why a public file has to stay dated and dull.

The Hacker News

Security newsroom. Agent-poisoning and prompt-injection stories are the threat half of identity.

Enterprise security desk. Kill-switch and agent-control coverage is adjacent to who the operator is.

Security Boulevard

Security commentary network. Hybrid-identity pieces land here. Company files are a different layer.

Infosecurity Magazine

Infosec trade. Agent-abuse stories belong next to verification, not instead of it.

High-performance compute

HPC and data-wire. Covered Dun & Bradstreet putting a commercial graph into Perplexity — the exact retrieval problem this registry sits beside.

UK security briefings. Vendor launches that ‘verify AI agents’ get recorded here.

Financial technology

Banking-tech newsroom. KYB and onboarding coverage. Different room from a public SME file — same word ‘verify’.

FinTech Finance News

Fintech newsroom. Identity vendors and agent-KYC launches land here.

Compliance Week

Compliance newsroom. Beneficial-ownership and filing rules are the government half of this stack.

Legal newsroom. KYB, AI procurement, and entity risk stories belong on this beat.

Accountancy & filings

UK accountancy body. Companies House identity-check coverage is primary-source adjacent.

LatAm technology

Latin America technology desk. Regional AI and identity coverage.

The Manila Times

Philippine newsroom. Business and tech desks in APAC.

India enterprise-IT desk. Buyer-facing AI coverage models already scrape.

Fashion & retail

Fashion trade. Product identity and brand provenance stories land here.

AI and digital-asset newsroom. Multi-agent attack reporting is why operator identity has to be public.

Digital-asset newsroom. On-chain identity is not a Type A file. Listed so the two are not collapsed.

Paid distribution. Same rule as the other wires: reach is not verification.

Des Moines Register

Gannett local newsroom. Local business coverage is not a registry snapshot.
