Correct what AI gets wrong about you

An assistant says you closed. Or it describes work you left behind years ago, or quotes a price you changed three times since. The assistant is not inventing it: it is repeating what the sources it could read say about you. You can correct your own site. You cannot correct theirs.

Where a wrong answer comes from

An answer is built from whatever was readable at the time. A directory entry filled in once, years ago. A press item from the month you launched. A comparison page written by a competitor. Your own site before the rebrand. Each of them was true once, none of them says so, and none of them carries the date that would let a reader put them in order.

Why correcting your own site is often not enough

Your site says the current truth, and it is one source among the several that talk about you. It is also, in practice, one of the harder ones to read: it may render through scripts, sit behind a consent wall, or answer the question halfway down a page written for someone who already knows you.

And it rarely says since when. A page rewritten this morning and a page untouched since 2019 look alike to a reader that has only the text. Between two sources that disagree, the one that can be dated is the one that settles it.

Publish the correction where it can be dated

A Markleex page is your own statement of the fact, at an address you keep, and the platform dates it: the day it was first published, as Markleex saw it, and the day it last changed. Every version before it is kept and chained to the one that came after, so the correction is readable against what it corrects.

That is what makes a correction more than an assertion. A denial with no date reads as an opinion. The same sentence, published at a stable address, served as plain text, and dated by someone other than you, is something a reader can check.

Two more things attach to it, and neither is yours alone to write: the addresses you declare, which Markleex goes and reads itself before publishing what it saw and when, and your relationships, each published once the other entity has confirmed it.

What to write

• The question, in the words people use. Not Company status, but Is X still open?
• The fact, in one sentence, at the top, before any explanation.
• What changed, and when. Dating the old state is what makes the new one credible.
• One page per question. A page that answers a single question is the one a machine can quote without carrying the rest.
• What backs it up elsewhere: a link to a registry entry, a filing, an announcement.

How to do it

1. Write down the question in the words people actually use when they ask it.
2. Claim your Markleex Name, if you have not already.
3. Publish one page per question: the title is the question, the text is the answer.
4. State what changed and when, rather than deleting what used to be true.
5. Declare your website, so the platform reads it and dates what it saw.

Your own assistant can write and publish these pages for you: connect it to Markleex and give it the list of questions.

What you have afterwards

An address that answers the question in plain words, dated by the platform, with every earlier version kept beside it. It is yours, it stays where you put it, and it is readable by anything that can fetch a page.

What it costs

A space is $0.83 a month, with 10 pages included, which is room for the questions you get asked most. See the pricing.
