Question 3

AiProfile has an index containing over 27 million profiles, and this number is growing.

Question 5

How does AiProfile ensure reliable information for AI systems?

Question 6

Accepted Answer

A website is intended for humans, while an AiProfile is specifically designed for AI systems. It provides structured and verifiable information that AI can read directly.

Question 7

How are the initial profiles for companies created?

Accepted Answer

AiProfile builds an initial profile for each company based on public sources. This provides AI with a foundation of information that is better than guesswork.

Accepted Answer

AiProfile suggests answers, but the business owner must approve them. Nothing is posted on a claimed profile without the owner's signature.

Question 9

Does AiProfile employ pay-for-ranking?

Accepted Answer

No, a profile never becomes more visible because payment has been made. Complete and confirmed information is leading.

Question 10

What does AiProfile do if a fact cannot be confirmed?

Accepted Answer

If a fact cannot be confirmed, the profile explicitly states this. An honest gap is preferred over a confident guess.

Question 11

Can AiProfile edit information on a profile without the owner's approval?

No, once a profile is claimed, only owner-approved answers are published. AiProfile makes suggestions, but never overwrites.

Question 12

What languages does AiProfile support for the interface?

Accepted Answer

AiProfile supports English, Dutch, German, French, and Spanish for the interface.

Question 13

Do you offer support in filling out the profile?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Yes. After an owner claims a profile through an email verification link, a built-in assistant on the profile page walks through the open questions one by one. Each confirmed answer is placed on the profile immediately. Owners can correct any sentence later just by telling the assistant, and corrections are carried over to the other language versions automatically.

Question 14

What is AiProfile?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

AiProfile makes one public web page per business, with facts about the business and the source behind every answer. The page is built so that AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot can read it easily, and people can too. The owner of the business can claim the page and decide what it says.

Question 15

Who is AiProfile for?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

For businesses and organisations that people ask AI about: restaurants, shops, studios, museums, service providers, companies and more. Every business and every location gets its own AiProfile. And for anyone, person or AI assistant, who wants clear facts about a business with a source behind each answer.

Question 16

Who is behind AiProfile?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

AiProfile is made by AiProfile BV, a Dutch company started in 2025. Its website is www.aiprofile.com.

Question 17

Is AiProfile part of ChatGPT, Google or another AI company?

Question 18

How does AiProfile earn money?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

From one thing: the paid Pro subscription. The AiProfile itself is free. AiProfile does not sell data, and there are no advertisements on a profile.

Question 19

Does AiProfile write reviews?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Question 20

Is there a short link to the AiProfile of AiProfile?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Yes: aiprofile.com/aiprofile leads straight to this AiProfile.

Question 21

Where does the information on an AiProfile come from?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

From the business's own website and other public sources, such as its Google business data. AiProfile reads the site, answers the questions customers ask, and links each answer to the page it came from. The owner can then claim the profile, check it and add to it.

Question 22

Why does my business have an AiProfile when I never asked for one?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

AiProfile made the page from public information about the business, so that AI assistants have accurate facts to work with. The owner decides what is on it, and nothing is ever charged unless the owner fills in payment details himself.

Question 23

How does AiProfile keep a profile accurate?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Every answer keeps a link to its source, so it can be checked. What cannot be confirmed is never filled in with a guess. Once the owner has claimed the profile, he can correct any answer, and the correction is on the profile at once.

Question 24

Can I see where an answer on an AiProfile comes from?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Yes. Every answer keeps the source it is based on, and the source links are in the page itself, so people and AI systems can check where a statement came from. An answer given by the owner is marked as confirmed by the owner.

Question 25

What is the difference between an AI-generated answer and an owner-confirmed answer?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

An AI-generated answer was written by AiProfile from public sources and links to the source it came from. An owner-confirmed answer was given or approved by the business owner after claiming the profile, and is marked that way. A claimed profile carries the Verified badge.

Question 26

In which languages are AiProfiles published?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Each AiProfile is published per language, every language version with its own web address, and the versions link to each other so search engines and AI systems find the right one. This AiProfile is available in English and Dutch.

Question 27

Is an AiProfile free for a business?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Yes. Claiming the AiProfile, filling it in and correcting it is free and stays free. Correcting something that is wrong is free on every plan.

Question 28

How does a business owner claim an AiProfile?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

By confirming an e-mail address. AiProfile sends a mail with a sign-in link that works for 2 hours. An address on the business's own web domain is confirmed automatically; another address is checked by a person first. Claiming is free.

Question 29

How does an owner edit an AiProfile?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

On the profile page itself. A confirmed owner has an Edit button next to every answer, and an assistant on the page asks the questions customers ask, one at a time. What the owner confirms is on the profile at once, and AiProfile tells search engines about every change.

Question 30

How do I find or create the AiProfile of my business?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Search on www.aiprofile.com for the name of the business or its website. If there is no AiProfile yet, entering the website builds one from the business's own site.

Question 31

Can a business with several locations have an AiProfile for each?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Yes. Every location and every business gets its own AiProfile, and answers are not copied from one profile to another. With Pro, the price is per profile.

Question 32

How can AI assistants read an AiProfile?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

An AiProfile is a public web page whose content, every answer with its source links, is in the HTML from the first load, together with structured data in schema.org JSON-LD, including a FAQPage block. AI assistants that search the web, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot, can read it like any public page.

Question 33

Can a business pay AiProfile to be recommended or ranked higher by AI assistants?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

No. Each AI system decides for itself what it reads and cites, and when; that can take days to weeks. AiProfile makes sure that what they can read is accurate and comes from the business. A profile never becomes more visible because someone paid.

Question 34

How do search engines learn that an AiProfile has changed?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

When a profile changes, AiProfile notifies search engines through IndexNow, the protocol used by Bing and others. Every public profile is also listed in the sitemap of www.aiprofile.com.

Question 35

What does AiProfile Pro do?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Pro adds a weekly check: every week AiProfile checks what potential customers ask AI tools such as ChatGPT about the business, and mails the results to the owner. With Pro the owner can also choose a short link of his own, like aiprofile.com/yourname. Nobody has to take Pro: the AiProfile itself stays free.

Question 36

What does AiProfile Pro cost?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

€29 per profile per month, excluding VAT. In the United Kingdom it is £29 per month excluding VAT, and in the United States $29 per month plus applicable sales tax. The price is the same for everyone and is paid monthly.

Question 37

Is there a free trial of AiProfile Pro, and do I need a card?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Yes, the first 14 days of Pro are free, and nothing is charged in those days. When Pro is started through the payment form, the form asks for payment details at the start. A free trial given in the owner conversation on the profile needs no card and stops by itself.

Question 38

How do I cancel AiProfile Pro?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Pro is paid monthly and can be cancelled at any time, also during the free days, through the link in the mails Paddle sends about the subscription. After cancelling, the AiProfile stays up, with its Verified badge and everything the owner approved.

Question 39

Who handles payments for AiProfile?

AiProfile · Accepted Answer

Paddle, as merchant of record. Paddle takes the payment, adds VAT and sends the invoice; the payment form shows the ways to pay that are available. AiProfile never sees card details.

Question 40
