Why this page matters
Here is what I see every day: good businesses get hidden in AI because their identity is unclear. Two brands share a name. A fake page copies your logo. Old phone numbers still appear on the web. Then AI is not sure who is who.
I checked a bakery in Berlin last week. When someone asked ChatGPT for the bakery’s Instagram, it showed a fan page. The owner did not know. That is a small error, but it costs trust and sales. You can fix this fast.
Make one public page on your site called “Official Profiles & IDs.” It tells AI and people, in simple words, “These links and numbers are the real ones.” This helps AI match your brand across the web. It reduces mistakes. It makes your name strong.
Action for today: write the page title you will use, like “/official” or “/verified,” and add it to your to‑do list.
What to put at the top: your core identity facts
Keep the first part short and clear. Use bullets. Share only the facts you are happy to make public.
- ▸Legal name and the name you use with customers (both)
- ▸Main website domain (and any older domains that now redirect)
- ▸Main phone number and text/WhatsApp number (if different)
- ▸Main support email (for example, help@yourdomain.com)
- ▸Physical address (or “by appointment only,” if that is true)
- ▸Business registration number and state/country (if you have it)
- ▸VAT/EIN or tax ID region (share only what you are comfortable sharing)
- ▸D‑U‑N‑S or other industry IDs (optional, but helpful)
Use plain words. No marketing text. You are confirming your identity, not selling.
Action for today: open a blank page and list your legal name, website, and phone in the first three lines.
Link every official profile in one clean list
Next, add links that AI uses to check who you are. Put the real, public URLs. Do not use short links.
- ▸Maps and search: Google Business Profile, Apple Maps, Bing Places
- ▸Social: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok
- ▸Reviews and directories: Yelp, Trustpilot, BBB, local chamber
- ▸Marketplaces and booking: Amazon Storefront, Etsy, eBay, DoorDash, OpenTable, Calendly
- ▸Industry or manufacturer listings: dealer locator page where you appear
- ▸Payment handles: Stripe payment link, PayPal.me, Venmo/Cash App username
Group them by type. If a profile is not used anymore, say “retired” and link to the new one. If a listing is wrong somewhere else, say “Do not trust this link” and explain why. That honesty helps AI and people.
Action for today: paste your Google Business Profile and Instagram full URLs into your draft page.
Reduce confusion and fraud with simple signals
Tell people how to verify you. Keep it short and firm.
- ▸We only email from these domains: example.com, example.co
- ▸We never ask for payment by gift card or wire
- ▸Our invoices come from this system: (name the system)
- ▸Our old domain (oldexample.com) now redirects to example.com
- ▸If you see a different phone number for us, check this page
Add a small note for brand safety. Example: “If someone claims to be us on Telegram, that is not us.” Clear rules help AI and customers spot fakes.
Action for today: write one line that starts with “We only email from…” and add your domain.
Make it easy for machines to read
Give the page a simple URL: /official, /verified, or /profiles. Link it in your footer and your contact page. Keep the page light and fast. Avoid PDFs for this.
If you can, add basic Organization schema with a sameAs list of your official links. This is a small code block that helps machines connect the dots. If you use WordPress, a popular SEO plugin can add it. If you have a developer, ask them to add Organization markup and put your links in the sameAs field.
Update this page when something changes. When you open a new social account, update the page first. Then edit your bios to point back to it. This loop teaches AI which links are real.
By the way, I built FoxRadar to make checks like this simple. In 60 seconds, you can see if ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok know your brand and use your best links.
Action for today: add a link to this page in your site footer with the text “Official Profiles & IDs.”
