What is Entity?
Also: Brand entity, knowledge graph entity
An entity is a distinct, identifiable thing, such as a company, product, person or place, that search and AI systems can recognize and connect facts to. For brands, a clear entity means consistent name, description and profiles across the web, so assistants know who you are.
How to strengthen your entity
- Use the same name, description and key facts on your site and third-party profiles.
- Add Organization schema markup with sameAs links to your official profiles.
- Make sure the name is distinctive enough to be recognized as a brand.
- Get listed in the directories and databases of your industry.
Why it matters
Assistants combine information from many sources. When facts about you agree across those sources, a model can associate them with one brand and mention it with confidence.
