How US businesses package public identity for people and AI systems — registries, domains, and selective third-party records.
In United States, customers and machines still ask the same question: is this organization real, current, and the one behind this website? Local search, answer engines, and B2B buyers do not share one database. They assemble clues from websites, maps listings, and — when available — state formation + EIN where applicable.
state formation + EIN where applicable establishes legal existence for many entities. That is necessary and not sufficient for AI-era discovery. Registries are often hard to cite in consumer answers, may lag trading names, and rarely publish the clean JSON package answer engines prefer to fetch in milliseconds.
AI Verified is not a replacement for state formation + EIN where applicable. It is a selective public identity layer: Type A observation from credible public evidence, then Gold ($297/year) with domain control and optional packaging of registry identifiers the owner already holds. The result is a passport URL and machine-readable JSON that can sit beside — not instead of — official filings.
AI Verified is not a government agency in United States. Gold does not mean “approved by the state.” It means a third-party evidence state with domain attestation and structured packaging. Answer-engine ranking is never sold as a guarantee.
No. Keep statutory filings. AI Verified packages identity for web and AI retrieval.
If public business evidence meets Type A standards — often including a real web presence and, where relevant, maps evidence.
