Frequently Asked Questions

Verified Unique is a platform that certifies websites containing only human-created content with no use of AI-generated material. We provide a verification service and a badge that websites can display to show visitors their commitment to authentic, human-created content.

Our mission is to promote transparency in online content creation and help people easily identify websites that contain genuine human expression, creativity, and expertise.

Human-created content matters because it reflects real perspectives, lived experiences, and genuine creativity that AI cannot replicate. While AI can generate content that mimics human writing, it lacks the authentic emotion, unique insights, and true expertise that come from human creators.

As AI-generated content becomes more prevalent online, it's increasingly important for readers to be able to distinguish between human and AI sources. This transparency helps preserve the value of human creativity and ensures people can make informed choices about the content they consume.

Our verification process works in several steps:

1. Submission: Website owners submit their site through our online form.
2. Badge Installation: After submission, they receive a unique badge ID and add our script to their website.
3. Content Scanning: Our automated system scans the website to analyze its content.
4. AI Detection: We use advanced AI detection technology to identify any machine-generated content.
5. Human Review: For edge cases, our team may conduct a manual review.
6. Score Calculation: Based on the scan results, we calculate a Human Content Score.
7. Verification: Sites meeting our threshold receive verification and their badge displays their score.

The entire process typically takes 24-48 hours to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the website.

Installing the Verified Unique badge is simple:

1. After submitting your website, you'll receive a unique badge ID via email.
2. Copy the provided script tag that looks like this:
   <script src="https://www.verifiedunique.com/js/human-score-badge.js" data-badge-id="YOUR_BADGE_ID"></script>
3. Replace YOUR_BADGE_ID with your actual badge ID.
4. Paste this code into your website's HTML, ideally just before the closing </body> tag.
5. The badge will automatically appear on your site after our verification process is complete.

The Human Content Score is a percentage that represents how much of your website's content is human-created versus AI-generated. A score of 100% means all analyzed content appears to be human-written, while lower scores indicate potential AI-generated content.

The score is calculated based on multiple factors:

• Content analysis across multiple pages
• Advanced linguistic pattern recognition
• Statistical probability models
• Comparison with known AI-generated text patterns

To receive verification and be listed in our directory, websites must achieve a Human Content Score of at least 90%.

No, our basic verification service is completely free. This includes:

• Website submission and verification
• Human Content Score calculation
• The Verified Unique badge for your website
• Listing in our public directory

We offer this service free of charge to promote transparency and authenticity across the web. We do offer premium verification services for larger websites and organizations with specific needs, but the standard verification remains free for all website owners.

Your Verified Unique badge remains valid for 12 months from the date of verification. After this period, we recommend renewing your verification to ensure your badge reflects the current content on your website.

We also perform periodic random scans of verified websites to maintain the integrity of our verification system. If we detect significant changes in your content or an increase in potential AI-generated material, we may notify you to undergo re-verification.

You'll receive email reminders 30 days and 7 days before your verification expires.

No, the Verified Unique badge is designed to have minimal impact on your website's performance. Our badge script is:

• Lightweight (under 10KB)
• Loaded asynchronously to prevent blocking other resources
• Cached effectively to reduce subsequent load times
• Optimized for all device types

The badge only makes a single API call to our servers to verify the badge ID and retrieve the Human Content Score. This happens after your page has already loaded, so it won't delay your page's initial rendering.

Getting verified with Verified Unique offers numerous benefits:

• Trust Signaling: Demonstrate to your visitors that your content is authentically human-created.
• Competitive Advantage: Stand out from competitors who use AI-generated content.
• Directory Exposure: Get listed in our searchable directory of verified human content websites.
• Brand Enhancement: Align your brand with values of authenticity and transparency.
• User Confidence: Increase visitor confidence in your expertise and credibility.
• Community: Join a network of creators committed to preserving human creativity online.
• Future-Proofing: Position your site for potential search engine preferences for verified human content.

Our verification badge serves as a clear visual indicator that your website prioritizes authentic human expression in an increasingly AI-dominated landscape.

If your website doesn't meet our verification threshold (90% human content score), we'll provide you with detailed feedback including:

• Your current Human Content Score
• Sections of your website that appear to contain AI-generated content
• Specific recommendations for improvement
• Options for re-verification after making changes

You can make the suggested changes to your content and resubmit for verification at any time. There's no limit to how many times you can apply for verification, and we're happy to work with you to help your site meet our standards.

Yes, you can verify as many websites as you own or manage under a single account. Each website will:

• Receive its own unique badge ID
• Undergo its own verification process
• Have its own separate listing in our directory
• Display its individual Human Content Score

From your dashboard, you can easily manage all your verified websites, view their scores, and track when each verification expires. This is especially useful for agencies, content creators with multiple projects, or businesses with several web properties.

Yes, the Verified Unique badge offers several customization options through additional data attributes in the script tag:

• data-position: Control where the badge appears (bottom-right, bottom-left, top-right, top-left)
• data-theme: Choose the color scheme (light, dark, or custom)
• data-size: Adjust the badge size (small, medium, large)
• data-display: Select display mode (standard, minimal, expanded)

Example of a customized badge:

<script 
  src="https://www.verifiedunique.com/js/human-score-badge.js" 
  data-badge-id="YOUR_BADGE_ID" 
  data-position="bottom-left" 
  data-theme="dark" 
  data-size="small">
</script>

While there is no direct search engine ranking boost specifically for Verified Unique badges at this time, there are several potential SEO benefits:

• Quality Signals: Search engines increasingly value original, high-quality content, which human-created content typically represents.
• User Engagement: Visitors who trust your content may spend more time on your site, reducing bounce rates and improving engagement metrics that search engines consider.
• Future-Proofing: As search engines develop more sophisticated ways to detect AI content, having verified human content may become a more significant ranking factor.
• Structured Data: Our badge includes schema markup that helps search engines understand your commitment to authentic content.

As the digital landscape evolves, we expect search engines to place increasing value on verified human content as they work to provide users with the most authentic and valuable results.

Almost any type of website can apply for Verified Unique certification, including:

• Blogs and personal websites
• Business and company websites
• News and media sites
• Educational resources
• E-commerce platforms
• Portfolio sites
• Non-profit organizations
• Community forums

The key requirement is that your website's content must be primarily human-created. Websites with minimal content, those acting primarily as aggregators of other sites, or sites with harmful or illegal content are not eligible for verification.

Our AI detection technology uses a multi-layered approach to identify machine-generated content:

1. Pattern Analysis: We analyze linguistic patterns that are common in AI-generated text but rare in human writing.
2. Statistical Models: Our algorithms compare textual features against vast datasets of known human and AI-written content.
3. Stylistic Consistency: We examine stylistic elements and consistency throughout a piece of content.
4. Semantic Analysis: We evaluate how ideas connect and flow in ways typical of human thought processes.
5. Continuous Learning: Our system constantly improves its detection capabilities as new AI writing tools emerge.

While we can't share the exact details of our proprietary technology, our detection system has been trained on millions of samples and achieves over 95% accuracy in distinguishing between human and AI-generated content. As AI continues to evolve, so does our detection technology.
