Business identity verification confirms that a business is real, legally registered where claimed, and who it claims to be — a critical requirement in the AI era.
Business identity verification (related to KYB) confirms that an organisation is real and correctly identified. In AI Verified, verification is tiered: Bronze public-record classification, Silver domain control, Gold registry attestation.
What is business identity verification?
It is the process of confirming a business legal identity, registration status, and digital presence using observable public evidence and, at higher tiers, owner attestation.
How is Type A classification different from full KYB?
Type A is selective public-record classification based on observed Google Business Profile quality signals. Silver and Gold add domain and registry attestation depth.
Why do AI systems care?
Without verifiable identity anchors, answer engines are more likely to omit, merge, or hallucinate small businesses.
