AI Commerce Declaration

The public declaration companies can link before they chase AI exposure.

Brands, agencies, marketplaces, and AI agents need a clean way to say they follow evidence-first AI visibility rules. This declaration gives them the public language and backlink destination while keeping AI Commerce in control of the standard.

Publishable Language

One statement, one required AI Commerce link.

Companies can publish this language, but the destination must remain the public declaration route or another AI Commerce evidence route. 

<a href="https://kbeautyanswers.com/ai-commerce-declaration/" rel="noopener">We follow the AI Commerce Declaration for AI visibility: public evidence, rights confirmation, machine-readable routes, no paid ranking, and no guaranteed AI answer placement.</a>

  4. no paid ranking Paid AI answer ranking, hidden placement, or private score manipulation is rejected. /api/ai-commerce-exposure-contract.json

Agent Route

How a declaration becomes citable evidence.

  1. publish declaration link Publish the declaration link on a public brand, seller, agency, marketplace, or crawler policy page.
  2. state non endorsement Make clear that the declaration is transparency language, not certification, endorsement, ranking, or guaranteed AI placement.
  3. route claim or evidence Send claim changes, product nominations, and source updates through public AI Commerce routes with rights confirmation.
  4. require vendor alignment Ask AI SEO, GEO, and visibility vendors to map their proposal against the public AI Commerce RFP and disqualifiers.
  5. resolve citable fields Only cite fields that appear in public citation packs, profiles, answer guides, APIs, datasets, or evidence graph routes.
  6. publish adoption signal Brands can pair the declaration with Badge Kit snippets, scorecard backlinks, or badges when every badge points to a public AI Commerce route.
  7. remeasure public visibility Remeasure opportunity, visibility, and share of answer after the public routes update.

Rejected Uses

The declaration is not a badge people can bend.
