Is submitting my domain to Boise Standard really free?

Yes. Submitting your domain to the Boise Standard knowledge graph costs nothing. We mint your unverified entity profile — including a schema coverage score and gap list showing exactly what information AI systems cannot answer about your business — at no charge. Your profile lives permanently at boisestandard.org/web/yourdomain-com. Verification, which closes every gap and issues your Certificate of Verified Provenance, is $25 one time with no subscription.

What is an unverified entity profile?

An unverified entity profile is a machine-readable record generated from a crawl of your domain. It includes your schema.org coverage score, a gap list of missing structured data fields, your schema grade, and your confirmed graph topology. It is AI-inferred — not owner-declared — which means it may have gaps and inaccuracies. Verification through BST-PIPELINE-1.0.0 closes every gap with owner-submitted information and issues a Certificate of Verified Provenance stamped with a permanent cryptographic hash.

Where will my business profile appear after submission?

After your domain is processed by the Boise Standard pipeline, your unverified entity profile will be live at boisestandard.org/web/yourdomain-com — where yourdomain-com is your domain with dots replaced by hyphens. For example, mybusiness.com becomes boisestandard.org/web/mybusiness-com. You will receive an email notification with your exact profile link when it is live.

Why does it matter if my business is in the Boise Standard knowledge graph?

AI systems including ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's AI Mode are answering questions about your business right now using whatever fragmented data they can find. Research from AccuraCast analyzing 9,000 citation sources found that 81% of pages cited in AI search responses include structured schema markup — yet only 12.4% of registered domains have implemented any schema.org data. Boise Standard mints machine-readable entity records that AI systems can retrieve, parse, and cite accurately. Without a verified record, AI guesses. With one, AI knows.

What is the difference between submitting and verifying?

Submitting is free and adds your domain to the Boise Standard corpus queue. We crawl your domain and mint an unverified profile based on publicly available data — AI-inferred, not owner-declared. Verifying for $25 runs your entity through all 13 passes of BST-PIPELINE-1.0.0: owner-submitted questionnaire, schema gap closure, Wikidata-anchored graph edges, Certificate of Verified Provenance, AI Era Intelligence Brief, 10 master prompts, and a fine-tunable provenance dataset. The verified record is permanently stamped as owner-declared, which is the difference between AI guessing about your business and AI knowing.

What is a schema coverage score?

Your schema coverage score is the percentage of available schema.org properties that are declared and measurable in your entity record. The average unverified business scores between 15% and 40%, meaning AI systems cannot reliably answer 60% to 85% of possible questions about that business. Boise Standard verified entities achieve Grade A schema coverage, placing them in the top tier of all registered domains for machine-readability and AI citation eligibility.

How does Boise Standard relate to the EU AI Act and data provenance?

The EU AI Act enforcement deadline of August 2, 2026 requires AI companies to maintain documented provenance of training data sources under Articles 10 and 12, including tamper-evident audit trails. Boise Standard's verification pipeline produces exactly this kind of provenance record — a cryptographically stamped, owner-declared entity record with full chain of custody documentation, aligned with the Root-LD specification at root-ld.org. Every verified entity record is a provenance-grade data object that satisfies the machine-readable, owner-declared standard the regulatory environment is moving toward.

◈ The Invisibility Problem

AI is answering questions about your business right now — using whatever fragmented data it can find. Only 30% of brands persist from one AI-generated answer to the next. Run the same query five times and just 20% of brands appear across all five responses. This is not a ranking problem. It is a machine-readability problem. AI cannot cite what it cannot parse.

◈ Zero-Click Is The New Normal

93% of searches in Google's AI Mode end without a click. When users see an AI summary, only 8% click through to a source — compared to 23% in traditional search. Your website traffic is being intercepted before it reaches you. The only way to exist in those answers is to be the source AI reads from. That requires machine-readable structure. That is what this directory provides.

◈ Schema Is The Signal AI Trusts

81% of pages cited in AI search responses include schema markup, across 9,000 citation sources analyzed from ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity. In March 2025, both Google and Microsoft publicly confirmed they use schema markup for their generative AI features. Google's AI Mode now uses structured data as an entity trust signal, not just a display trigger.

◈ The Gap Is Enormous

Only 12.4% of all registered domains have implemented any schema.org structured data. That means roughly 88% of businesses are invisible to the systems that now mediate how people discover information. Content with proper schema markup has a 2.5x higher chance of appearing in AI-generated answers. Submitting your domain to Boise Standard is the first step toward closing that gap.

◈ Citation Lift Is Measurable

Sites implementing structured data see a 44% increase in AI search citations, according to BrightEdge research. Pages combining structured data with authoritative content see up to a 317% citation lift compared to unmarked pages. 80% of consumers now rely on zero-click results in at least 40% of their searches — meaning AI answers shape buying decisions before a single click happens.

◈ AI Traffic Converts Differently

AI search traffic converts at 14.2% compared to Google's 2.8% — five times higher. The visitors who arrive from an AI citation are already pre-qualified. They read the AI's answer, it mentioned your business specifically, and they clicked through to verify. That is a fundamentally different buyer than someone who clicked a blue link. Being cited is worth more than ranking. Boise Standard builds the record AI cites from.

◈ What Boise Standard Is

Boise Standard is the provenance layer the machine-readable web never had. Every legal, operating business website on the internet deserves a permanent, owner-declared, machine-readable record — a record that tells AI systems not just what a business does, but where that information came from, when it was declared, and who stands behind it. The pipeline runs 13 deterministic passes per entity: crawl, schema scoring, gap analysis, Wikidata edge anchoring, atomic answer generation, certificate stamping. The result is a Root-LD traveling context pod at root-ld.org — a permanent, retrievable knowledge object that AI systems can read, cite, and trust. Every verified entity also receives a Recursive-LD declaration at recursive-ld.org, linking it bidirectionally into the broader knowledge graph.

◈ The Scale of the Problem

The April 2026 Common Crawl archive contains 2.19 billion web pages from 35.4 million registered domains. The Common Crawl domain-level web graph has 121.1 million nodes and 3.9 billion edges. Every one of those nodes is a business, an organization, a publication, a person — an entity that AI systems are already reading and citing. Almost none of them have declared their own provenance. Almost none of them have a verified, owner-stamped machine-readable record. Boise Standard is minting those records — systematically, pipeline-first, at scale — starting with the Treasure Valley and expanding across the entire operable web.

◈ The Regulatory Moment

On August 2, 2026, the EU AI Act stops being a paper deadline and gains real teeth — GPAI enforcement, high-risk obligations, and mandatory training-data disclosure. Every AI company deploying in the EU must maintain a full record of training data and its origin. EU AI Act Articles 10 and 12 require tamper-evident audit trails of relevant events, retained for at least 6 months. Provenance is not a nice-to-have. It is the compliance layer the entire AI industry needs — and Boise Standard is building it at the entity level, one verified record at a time.

◈ Unverified vs Verified — The Difference

An unverified record — what you get free when you submit — is crawl-generated. AI inferred it. It has gaps. It has a schema score. It has an atomic answer built from whatever data was publicly available. It is better than nothing. A verified record is owner-declared. You fill the questionnaire. The pipeline runs all 13 passes. Every schema gap closes. Wikidata edges are anchored. Your Certificate of Provenance is issued — stamped BST-PIPELINE-1.0.0 with a permanent hash. AI systems reading your record know the difference.
