A conversation for agency leaders thinking about what comes next.
We believe the agentic web is coming. Here's why we're building what we're building.
Content is already written by AI. Soon, it will be browsed by AI. The shift from human-browsed to agent-browsed is happening faster than most realize.
When an AI agent needs to recommend a licensed electrician, it has nowhere to turn. Most contractors have zero structured data that agents can read.
AI search is accelerating market concentration. Those without resources for SEO and ads are becoming invisible. Local service businesses are being left behind.
Between AI agents and real-world service providers, there needs to be a verification layer. We're building it.
“If I ask an agent for a licensed electrician near me, there is no way for it to find one. No electrician has structured their data in a way that an agent could read it.”
This is the problem we're solving.
A trust verification layer that makes licensed businesses visible to AI agents. Starting with contractors (58,000+ audited across 9 trade verticals), expanding to all licensed professions.
We check licensed businesses against state databases to confirm they're legitimate. Starting with contractors, expanding to all licensed professions.
We verify active insurance coverage and policy details.
Every verified business gets structured data that AI agents can read and trust.
Embeddable badges that signal trust to both humans and algorithms.
Programmatic access for model companies and enterprise integrations.
“It's so much easier to work with an agency that has 200 clients than trying to go one by one.”
We're not looking for vendors. We're looking for partners who share our view of where the internet is headed and want to build something together.
Agencies work with hundreds of contractors who trust them. That trust is hard to build from scratch.
Verification systems, state database integrations, schema generation, and API access ready to deploy.
Building a trust layer means getting both sides: businesses verified and model companies using the data. Agencies can accelerate one half.
Your clients get AI visibility. We get distribution. Everyone wins.
The use case we keep hearing: Agencies looking to move from basic SEO to AEO and GEO. AI-optimized visibility is the next service offering, and verification is the foundation.
We're flexible on structure. What matters is finding something that creates value for both sides.
Recommend clients you think would benefit from verification.
Your brand, our infrastructure. White-label verification for your client base.
Build on top of our verification layer with API access.
Custom arrangements available. Specifics depend on what makes sense for your business.
Let's design something togetherWe're early. That's the opportunity.
Growing daily through organic discovery and partnerships.
Credit unions, major agencies, and model companies.
Sustainable growth without burning cash.
Think of it like TrustMRR for SaaS, but for contractors. The trust verification layer for local services is a gap that needs filling as AI search becomes dominant. We're positioning to be that layer.
The agentic web is 3-5 years out. The time to build the trust layer is now.
The key concepts behind what we're building and why agencies are a natural fit.
The agentic web is the emerging shift from humans browsing the internet to AI agents browsing on their behalf. AI assistants like ChatGPT and Google Gemini are becoming the primary interface for finding services, requiring businesses to have structured, machine-readable data.
VerifiedNode builds the trust verification layer for licensed businesses. Starting with contractors, we verify licenses against state databases, validate insurance coverage, and structure this data as JSON-LD schemas that AI agents can read and trust. The same infrastructure works for any licensed profession.
Agencies have established relationships with contractors who trust them. Rather than acquiring businesses one by one, partnering with agencies accelerates distribution while providing agencies a new AI visibility service offering for their clients.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) targets ranking in traditional search results for humans. AEO (AI Engine Optimization) focuses on structured data and verification signals that AI agents can parse, ensuring businesses get recommended when users ask AI assistants for service providers.
Agentic Web
The agentic web describes the evolution of the internet from a human-browsed medium to one primarily navigated by AI agents. As AI assistants become the default interface for finding services and information, businesses must adapt their digital presence with structured data and verification signals that machines can read, trust, and act upon. This shift is expected to fundamentally change how local service businesses are discovered and recommended.
