# BackTier introduces Authority Canon, extending founder Jason T Wade’s work on AI visibility

For immediate release · 2026-10-04

CENTRAL FLORIDA, October 4, 2026 — BackTier, founded in 2022 by Jason T Wade, has introduced Authority Canon: one approved, versioned account of a business that serves as the source for its public-facing material. The offering extends BackTier's work on how businesses are identified, described and cited in search and AI answers.
Wade's 2025 book, AI Visibility: How to Win in the Age of Search, Chat & Smart Customers, addresses entity clarity, retrievable evidence and measurement. Authority Canon applies the same attention to source consistency: establish the facts first, then derive website pages, profiles, articles and other assets from the approved account.
The public offering has two options: a Book for experts and professional firms, and a Story for local, service, retail and product businesses. Each is prepared in text, web and audio editions. When a fact changes, the Canon is updated first; downstream materials are then brought into line. BackTier positions this as clarity, authority and distribution work, not a rebrand.
The offering page describes the process and formats. This announcement does not claim client results, independently measured gains in AI citations, or endorsements. Reporters can verify the book's publication details on BackTier's books page and contact Wade directly for comment.
