AI recognizes a brand when three signals line up: the site lets bots in, the site carries structured data, and outside sources confirm the same facts. Pass all three and your brand is Signal Ready . Tell us what you know.
Readable Bots must get a 200
When an AI crawler asks for your site, your server answers with a number. Only one answer lets it read the page.
200 OK — the page is open and readable.
403 Forbidden — the site is refusing the bot, often a firewall setting. Humans never notice.
404 Not found — the page isn't there.
The bots that matter for citations: OAI-SearchBot (ChatGPT), Claude-SearchBot (Claude), PerplexityBot (Perplexity), Googlebot (Google).
Can AI crawlers read your site?optional
— Yes — bots get a 200 No — we block bots Not sure
Structured Facts in schema.org
Structured data is code on your site that states your facts in a form machines read directly — your name, type, address, and official profiles.
Does your site have it?optional
— Yes No Not sure
Where should your Record live?optional
— Daniels hosts it On our own site Both Not sure
On your own site: we give you one block of code (JSON-LD) to paste into your homepage. Visitors never see it; AI reads it. Can't edit your site? Daniels hosts it for you.
Listed Outside sources confirm you
AI trusts a fact more when a known third party states it too. Paste any profiles you already have.
Sources optional — bring what you have
A Record only states facts that trace to a real source. A source is someone other than you, putting their name on the fact: local press, a trade publication, a directory, an association, an award.
No sources yet? Leave this blank. Finding and verifying the sources that make AI cite you is the work you're hiring us for.
A little more optional — helps us verify faster

Next: images and videos
Optional. Add your logo, photos, and YouTube videos and we'll label each one with your brand name, so AI matches the right picture to the right name. No media handy? Submit now and we'll follow up.
Logo the one image AI uses to recognize you
Photos up to 3, JPEG only
Real photos of what you do: your storefront, your product, your team at work. Say what each one shows and name anyone in it.
Headshot optional
Add one if a person is the public face of your brand, such as a founder, doctor, or owner. A clear, labeled headshot helps AI put the right face next to the right name.
YouTube videos up to 3
Videos on your own channel, or ones you have permission to use. TV and news clips belong to the broadcaster, so send a link to the coverage instead.
Permission so we can publish them
We own these images and videos, or have permission to publish them.
Confirm you own these, or have permission to publish them.
Anyone shown in a photo or headshot has agreed to it being published.
Confirm anyone shown has agreed to being published.
