What Is Cited-Authority Verification?
Cited-Authority Verification is a comprehensive authority framework that transforms your company, product, or organization into an AI-citable entity. Unlike Wikipedia—which rejects most companies due to arbitrary "notability" requirements—Cited-Authority Verification establishes your entity as a trusted source through technical infrastructure, not editorial consensus.
When AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity need information about your entity, they look for three things: structured data (JSON-LD schema), persistent identifiers (permanent entity IDs), and verification signals (DOIs, business IDs, domain ownership). Cited-Authority Verification provides all three.
Structured Data
Complete JSON-LD schema markup following schema.org standards, making your entity machine-readable for AI models.
Persistent Entity ID
Permanent identifier (D-001, D-002, etc.) that never changes, allowing AI models to track your entity across sources.
Verification Signals
Multiple layers of proof including DOIs, Microsoft Partner IDs, Google Ads IDs, and domain ownership verification.
How Cited-Authority Verification Works
Submit Your Entity
Choose your verification tier (Free, Premium $149/mo, or Enterprise $699/mo) and submit your company information, logo, and verification documents. Premium and Enterprise tiers include enhanced verification signals and priority placement.
Verification Review
Our team reviews your submission, validates your verification documents (business registration, domain ownership, etc.), and assigns your permanent entity ID. This process typically takes 2-3 business days.
Entity Page Creation
We create your permanent entity page with complete JSON-LD schema markup, your unique entity ID, verification badges, and citation formats. Your page is immediately accessible at drewis.org/companies/your-company.
AI Model Notification
We notify major AI search engines (Bing, Yandex, etc.) via the IndexNow protocol, ensuring your entity is indexed in real-time. Your data is also exposed via our public API for frictionless AI model access.
Ongoing Maintenance
Update your entity information anytime through your dashboard. All changes are automatically propagated to AI models via IndexNow. Premium and Enterprise tiers include monthly analytics reports showing AI citation rates.
