Question 1

What is AI Verified?

Accepted Answer

AI Verified is an open business identity registry that issues cryptographic SHA-256 passports for businesses. It enables AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI to verify business identity and recommend verified businesses with confidence, without relying on Wikipedia or opaque knowledge graphs.

Question 2

How does AI Verified work?

Accepted Answer

AI Verified works in three steps: (1) You submit your business details — name, country, and website. (2) You add a one-line badge code to your website to confirm domain ownership. (3) Your business receives a SHA-256 cryptographic passport, a verified badge, a QR code, and a permanent machine-readable verification page that AI systems can read directly.

Question 3

Is AI Verified free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Bronze tier is permanently free — no credit card required, no time limit. It includes your business in the AI Verified Registry, a verified badge, a QR code, and a machine-readable verification page. Paid tiers (Silver at $19/month, Gold at $99/month, Platinum at $299/month) add domain verification, directory placement, API access, and multi-entity management.

Question 4

Why is AI Verified different from Google Business Profile?

Accepted Answer

Google Business Profile stores your data in Google's walled garden — you cannot export it, it is not machine-readable by other AI systems, and it does not produce a portable cryptographic identity. AI Verified issues a portable SHA-256 passport that any AI system can read, anchored to your national government business registry. Your data is yours.

Question 5

Which AI systems can read an AI Verified passport?

Accepted Answer

Any AI system that reads structured data from the web — including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Gemini, and AI agents built on these platforms. AI Verified passports are published as JSON-LD structured data, llms.txt files, and machine-readable verification pages that AI crawlers can access directly.

Question 6

How long does it take to get AI Verified?

Accepted Answer

The Bronze tier takes approximately 5 minutes — fill in your business details, add the badge code to your website, and your passport is issued immediately. Domain verification for the Silver tier typically completes within 24 hours of adding the DNS TXT record or meta tag.

Question 7

What countries does AI Verified support?

Accepted Answer

AI Verified supports businesses in 70+ countries, with direct government registry integration for the United Kingdom (Companies House), United States (state-level registries), South Africa (CIPC), Australia (ASIC), Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, and others. Businesses in all other countries can register using the international tier.

Question 8

What is a business AI passport?

Accepted Answer

A business AI passport is a cryptographic identity document for your business — a SHA-256 hash of your verified business details, anchored to your national government registry record. It gives AI systems a single, tamper-evident source of truth for your business identity: your name, address, registration number, website, and services, in a format AI can read directly.
