Wiki · citable explainer
How accountants, consultants, and advisors can ensure AI systems cite their firm correctly with verified business identity as the foundation.
Firm names collide across markets. Clients trust AI recommendations for high-value services. Without verified identity anchors, models invent or merge firms.
Consistent legal and trading names, professional registration where public, server-side structured data, and a selective public passport. Monitor for hallucinations after publishing.
Why are professional services vulnerable to AI citation errors?
Generic firm names, high-stakes client decisions, and thinner digital footprints than consumer brands increase conflation and omission risk.
What are the main failure modes?
Entity conflation, temporal staleness, and omission — all worsened by missing stable machine-readable identity anchors.
Does AI Verified work for sole practitioners?
Yes. Sole practitioners can be classified under their trading name when Type A eligibility signals are met.
