Verified Reality emblem

The site mark

This emblem is about the pictures and video. Not a rating of the business.

When a website displays the Verified Reality mark, it is saying the photography and video on that site can be backed by a Truth Packet, or they are ordinary stock. Same family as a chamber seal — a standard the publisher is willing to put on the page — except it speaks to the media, not the company name.

What it means

The pictures and video can be checked.

Photography and video on a marked site are either ordinary stock, or they can be backed by a Verified Reality Truth Packet — a sealed record made at the moment of capture.

What it is not

Not a rating of the business.

The mark does not score products, service, or the company name. It is not a star rating, a customer-review seal, or a finding in a dispute.

How you check

Open the packet. Re-run the math.

Anyone who holds the Truth Packet can re-check it in the free Desktop Auditor, on their own machine, without taking the publisher’s word for it.

Want the mark on your own site?

We place it with publishers who hold the same rule: every picture is stock, or it was shot or secured with Verified Reality. The emblem is not a logo to copy onto a page.

To inspect a packet yourself, use the Desktop Auditor. The mark is not legal advice, and it is not a finding about a dispute.
