Protocol Specification v1.0

How AI systems should select businesses

Deeprank is a protocol specification that defines how AI systems should correctly select or exclude businesses based on structured identity declarations. This is not a marketing framework. It is a reference standard for machine-readable business representation.

Core Principle

Selection over visibility. AI systems do not rank businesses for attention. They select or exclude based on whether a business fits a user's declared intent and constraints. Deeprank provides the protocol for this selection logic.

What Deeprank Is Not

Not SEO

There is no keyword optimization, backlink strategy, or content manipulation. AI selection is based on declared fit, not visibility tactics.

Not a Ranking System

AI does not produce ordered lists for browsing. It makes binary selection decisions: this business fits the query or it does not.

Not a Marketing Tool

Deeprank does not help businesses appear more attractive. It helps them be correctly understood by AI systems.

Not a Growth Hack

There is no viral loop, conversion funnel, or user acquisition strategy. This is infrastructure documentation.
