One block. Copy it. Paste it in the footer or About page. The seal shows on the site and the link comes back here so Google, ChatGPT, and the other answer engines can open this file instead of guessing.
Leave the code as it is. If a builder marks the link “don’t follow,” those bots are told to skip it. That is the only reason we ask you not to change it.

Full playbook: benefits, backlinks, press, social →
Why share this URL at all? Every place you publish the passport or badge is another path for Google, answer engines, and people to land on the same sealed identity file. More links and mentions → more crawls → stronger consistency for your brand. The badge and short URL are distribution tools, not decoration.
1 · On your website
Benefit: Visitors and bots leaving your site get a one-click path to verified facts instead of guessing from theme bloat. Place the official Gold badge (footer, about, or trust bar) linking here — that link is a permanent citation of your identity.
2 · Press releases
Benefit: Wire copy and news sites often keep “About” links for years. Putting https://aiverified.io/r/8af3f04a2fe6 in the boilerplate plants a stable identity URL in high-authority pages that crawlers and LLMs already read.
3 · Backlinks & citations
Benefit: Each quality link to this passport is a vote for this URL as the canonical public record. Use anchor text such as AI VERIFIED GOLD RECORD: WESTERN CAPE TIMES. Owners also notice that phrase in Ahrefs/SEMrush when they audit their brand.
4 · Social profiles
Benefit: Profile “website” fields are crawled and reused in knowledge panels and answer snippets. Link-in-bio, LinkedIn, YouTube about — one short passport link so every profile points at the same sealed record.
5 · Email signatures
Benefit: Every outbound email is a soft trust signal and a repeat path back to the passport. One line under your name: AI Verified Gold + short URL. Low effort, high repetition.
6 · For machines
Benefit: Developers, partners, and technical docs can fetch JSON without parsing HTML. Share https://aiverified.io/j/8af3f04a2fe6 or the full .json so systems that prefer structured data get your identity in one request.
The pattern: more surfaces publishing this URL → more bots and engines discover and re-crawl it → your sealed facts stay easy to find next to Maps, Sunbiz, and your own domain. That is the point of Gold distribution — not a ranking package, a wider path to the same truth.

Always link to your passport — not another company’s.
