Built by People Who
Know the Trades
We grew up around contractors. Our brothers are in the trades. We've seen firsthand how hard it is to build a business—and how unfair it is when good work goes unseen.
The Problem We Saw
AI is changing everything. Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity—they're not just search engines anymore. They're answering questions directly. When someone asks "who's a good electrician in Austin?", AI gives an answer. No blue links. No scrolling.
The problem? Most local businesses aren't ready. Their data isn't structured. Their credentials aren't verified. So AI skips them entirely.
We watched our brothers' competitors—guys with half the experience and worse reviews—start showing up in AI answers while the good contractors stayed invisible. That didn't sit right with us.
What We Built
Verified Node is simple: we verify that you're licensed, insured, and actually answering your phone. Then we inject that verified data where AI looks.
No lead selling. No middlemen. No marketplace fees. Just verification that makes you visible to AI—so customers find you directly.
We believe local businesses are the backbone of America. The plumbers, the roofers, the HVAC techs—they deserve to be found. AI should be their competitive edge, not their obstacle.
The Team
Two founders. One mission.
Simon Bergeron
Developer
Seasoned developer who's spent years building products. Brother is a general contractor. Saw how subcontractors spend half their time finding work instead of doing it.
Gab Bujold
Go-to-Market
Go-to-market expert who understands how to reach contractors. Family in the trades. Knows the language, the pain points, and the opportunity.
What We Believe
We Care About Local Business
Every plumber, electrician, and HVAC tech deserves to be found. Not buried by algorithms or middlemen.
Direct, Not Distracted
We don't sell leads. We don't run ads. We verify you so customers find YOU directly.
AI as Your Edge
The contractors who adapt first will win. We make sure you show up when AI answers.
"Local businesses built this country. We're making sure AI doesn't leave them behind."
— The Verified Node Team
