AI Verified gives any registered business the machine-readable identity AI systems need to find and cite them — solving the notability barrier that locks 400 million SMEs out of the knowledge graph. Starts free.
-- CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, April 21, 2026 — LinkDaddy LLC, the Florida-registered digital infrastructure company founded by Anthony James Peacock, today announced the public launch of AI Verified (aiverified.io) — a cryptographic business identity registry that solves two of the most pressing problems facing small and medium businesses in the AI era: invisibility to AI answer engines, and exclusion from the knowledge graph due to Wikipedia's notability requirements.
AI Verified anchors a business's identity to its national business registry — Companies House in the UK, the CIPC in South Africa, or the relevant state registry in the United States — and seals it with a SHA-256 cryptographic hash. The result is a permanent, tamper-evident, machine-readable identity record that any AI system, search engine, or enterprise procurement tool can verify in milliseconds, without relying on third-party editorial decisions about which businesses are "notable enough" to exist in the knowledge graph.
"Wikipedia requires notability. AI Verified requires verification. Most businesses will never be notable enough for Wikipedia. Every registered business is verifiable. We built the registry for the 400 million businesses that the knowledge graph forgot."
— Anthony James Peacock, CEO & Founder, LinkDaddy LLC
The AI Visibility Crisis Facing Small Business
The way people discover businesses has changed permanently. Consumers and B2B buyers increasingly ask AI systems — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot — rather than typing queries into a search bar. These systems do not return a list of links. They synthesise a single answer, citing only the businesses they can verify are real.
For large, well-known companies with Wikipedia entries and extensive media coverage, this is not a problem. Their entity authority is well-established in the knowledge graph. For the overwhelming majority of SMEs — the plumber in Sandton, the accountant in Cape Town, the marketing agency in London — AI systems either omit them entirely or produce hallucinated results: wrong phone numbers, wrong addresses, wrong services.
The root cause is structural. The existing knowledge graph infrastructure — Wikipedia, Wikidata, Google's entity systems — was designed to represent notable entities: celebrities, large corporations, public figures. It was never designed for the 400 million registered SMEs that constitute the backbone of the global economy.
The Notability Barrier — Why SMEs Are Locked Out
To appear in Wikipedia or Wikidata with a substantive, deletion-resistant entry, a business must demonstrate notability — evidence that independent, reliable sources have written about it. For most SMEs this is an impossible standard. A business can have twenty years of trading history, hundreds of satisfied customers, and a government-confirmed registration, and still be denied a knowledge graph entry because no journalist has written about it.
AI Verified removes this barrier entirely. The registry's verification standard is forensic, not editorial. A business qualifies by demonstrating it is real — confirmed against a national registry, domain-verified, active — not by demonstrating it is famous. This brings knowledge-graph-equivalent machine-readable identity within reach of any registered business on the planet.
How AI Verified Works
The verification process takes five minutes. A business submits its legal name, registration number, country, and website domain. AI Verified queries the relevant national registry in real time — Companies House for UK businesses, the CIPC for South African businesses, OpenCorporates for US businesses — confirms active registration status, and seals the verified data with SHA-256.
The result is a permanent passport page at aiverified.io/v/{hash}/ containing complete Organisation JSON-LD structured data, a plain-text llms.txt file, a QR code, and a JSON API endpoint. Every element is designed for machine consumption — readable by AI crawlers without JavaScript execution, in one HTTP request, with no extraneous content.
Businesses install a single line of JavaScript (badge.js) on their website. This injects verified Organisation schema into the head of every page — the most efficient possible placement for AI crawlers — without affecting page speed or user experience.
"AI systems waste 97% of their crawl budget on CSS and plugins trying to find out if a business is real. We give them the answer in one clean, structured, cryptographically verified URL. We are not gaming AI systems. We are making their job easier — and they reward that with accurate citations."

The AJP AI Agent Schema Standard
Alongside the registry, LinkDaddy LLC has published the AJP AI Agent Schema Standard — a 20-type schema vocabulary for describing AI agent identity, capability declarations, and agentic trust. Published at schema.anthonyjamespeacock.com under a CC BY 4.0 licence, the standard covers types including AIAgent, AgentPassport, CapabilityDeclaration, AuthorisedAction, ProhibitedAction, and ConsentDeclaration.
The standard is intended for submission to Schema.org as a community proposal upon reaching 1,000 implementing pages. It provides the first structured vocabulary for AI agent accountability — a machine-readable framework that defines what an AI agent is authorised to do, what it is prohibited from doing, and how disputes about agent behaviour are resolved.
