Key takeaways

  • Entity SEO makes your business, services, locations, and people recognizable as specific things a machine can tell apart.
  • A quick test is to ask an AI tool about your business name alone and check whether it describes the right company.
  • sameAs links in Organization markup tell machines which outside profiles belong to your business.
  • Authority built from outside confirmation accumulates over months, and each new agreeing source strengthens the earlier ones.
How a machine becomes confident about who you are
  1. A distinct nameClear statements that separate you from businesses with similar names.
  2. Connected servicesServices and locations tied to your company in page code.
  3. Named peopleReal leaders and experts with credentials you can verify.
  4. Outside confirmationOther websites stating the same facts about you.

Simplified model of entity clarity. Each AI product uses its own systems to identify businesses.

Entities versus keywords

Keywords describe pages. Entities define the business.

A search engine can match your words without being sure which company wrote them. Entity SEO removes that doubt, so your business is the one an AI tool can name with confidence.

  • What keywords do

    They match the words on a page to the words in a search, which helps the page be found.

  • What entities add

    They tell machines which business, service, place, and person the page is about, so details are not mixed up with another company.

  • Why AI answers need it

    An AI answer names businesses. A tool that cannot tell two similar businesses apart may describe the wrong one or avoid naming either.

The identity test

Find out in two minutes whether AI tools know who you are

Ask the same three questions in any AI tool and write down the answers. It is the same test we run at the start of every engagement.

Identity test recordExample format
Buyer questionResultSources usedNext change
Your business name, with no other contextWrong businessA company in another state with a similar nameState your city and specialty wherever your name is introduced
Your business name plus your cityRight business, wrong detailsAn old directory listing with a previous phone numberCorrect the listing and add sameAs links to your real profiles
Your business name plus your main serviceIdentified correctlyYour service page and your Google Business ProfileKeep both in sync whenever your services change
Example identity test record with illustrative results. Your record uses your own business name, city, and services.
  • Ask with your name alone

    This shows whether your name on its own points to your business or to someone else.

  • Add your city

    Wrong phone numbers, old addresses, and closed locations usually appear here.

  • Add your main service

    This shows whether your services are connected to your business or only mentioned in paragraphs.

  • Note the sources

    Where a tool lists its sources, those are the pages and listings to correct first.

Free self check, about 2 minutes

Entity clarity readiness check

Answer eight questions about how clearly your business can be identified. A system has to know exactly who you are before it can recommend you.

Choose Yes, No, or Not sure for each question, then select See my score and fixes. Open the details under a question to see why it matters, how to check it, and the fix.

  1. Does one page state plainly who you are, what you do, where you work, and who you serve?
    Why it matters and how to check

    Why it matters. An AI answer can only repeat facts it can find, and a clear statement gives it something accurate to repeat.

    How to check. Read your About page and check that a stranger could answer those four questions from the first two paragraphs.

    The fix. Publish a clear facts section with name, services, area, and audience.

  2. If another business shares or resembles your name, do you state clearly which one you are?
    Why it matters and how to check

    Why it matters. Similar names get merged or confused when nothing separates them.

    How to check. Search your business name alone and note any other business that appears.

    The fix. State your location, founding year, and specialty wherever your name is introduced.

  3. Do your name, address or area, phone number, and services match across the web?
    Why it matters and how to check

    Why it matters. Inconsistent details make one business look like several different ones.

    How to check. Compare your website with your Google profile and your top five directory listings.

    The fix. Correct every listing so it matches your website.

  4. Does your Organization markup link to your real profiles with sameAs?
    Why it matters and how to check

    Why it matters. sameAs links tell a machine which outside profiles belong to the same business.

    How to check. Validate your home page and read the sameAs values.

    The fix. Add sameAs links to every profile you control.

  5. Is a named founder or leader shown with a profile page connected to the company?
    Why it matters and how to check

    Why it matters. A real, named person behind the company is a strong identity and accountability signal.

    How to check. Look for a leader profile page linked from your About page and marked up as a Person.

    The fix. Publish a leader profile page with credentials and connect it in your markup.

  6. Does each main service have its own page that describes it as a distinct offer?
    Why it matters and how to check

    Why it matters. Services mentioned only inside paragraphs are hard to identify as things you actually sell.

    How to check. List your services and confirm each has a dedicated page.

    The fix. Create a dedicated, specific page for each main service.

  7. Do trusted outside websites describe your business with the same details?
    Why it matters and how to check

    Why it matters. Facts confirmed by independent sources are easier to trust than facts found only on your own site.

    How to check. Search your business name in quotes and count accurate independent mentions.

    The fix. Build accurate listings and mentions on trusted outside sites.

  8. Have you asked AI tools about your business name with no other context and checked the answer?
    Why it matters and how to check

    Why it matters. A wrong, mixed, or hedged answer to that simple question shows an identity problem immediately.

    How to check. Ask two AI tools what your business is and compare the answers with your facts page.

    The fix. Record the answers, fix the facts they get wrong at the source, and ask again next month.

Proof with its limits attached

Documented results, labeled honestly

Each result states what was measured, where the data came from, and what it does not prove. Past results show what the approach can do. They do not guarantee your outcome.

Straight answers

Entity SEO questions, answered

Plain answers to the questions buyers ask most. If yours is not here, ask a strategist directly.

What is entity SEO?

Entity SEO is the work of making your business, its services, its locations, and its people recognizable as specific things that search engines and AI tools can tell apart and connect. It combines plain statements on your pages, structured data with consistent identifiers, accurate profiles and listings, and outside sources that confirm the same facts.

How is entity SEO different from keyword SEO?

Keyword SEO matches the words on a page to the words people search for. Entity SEO makes sure the business behind the page is identified correctly, so a search engine or AI tool knows which company, service, and location the page is about. A page can rank for a keyword while an AI tool still confuses the business behind it.

What does sameAs do in structured data?

sameAs is a schema.org property that lists web pages that clearly identify the same entity, such as your LinkedIn company page or your official social profiles. It tells machines that those profiles and your website describe one business rather than several.

Can you get us a Google Knowledge Panel or a Wikidata entry?

No one can promise either. Google decides whether to show a Knowledge Panel, and Wikidata applies its own notability rules to new items. We make your facts consistent and verifiable across the sources you control, which is the groundwork both depend on.

How can we tell if AI tools confuse our business with another one?

Ask an AI tool about your business name with no other context, then ask again with your city and your main service. If the answers describe a different company, mix details from several businesses, or show old information, you have an entity problem. The free review includes this test for your business.

Do we have to name our founder or team on the website?

It is not required, but named people with real credentials are one of the clearest identity signals a business can publish. If privacy matters, we build identity through the company, its credentials, and its documented work instead, and we tell you that route is slower.

How long does entity SEO take to work?

Direct statements and markup can be read within weeks of publishing. Confirmation from outside sources builds over months, and each new source that agrees with your facts strengthens the earlier ones. Progress is recorded monthly against the starting point measured in month one.

Does entity SEO help local businesses?

Yes. Local businesses depend on the same facts appearing identically on the website, the Google Business Profile, and directory listings. When the name, phone number, service area, and services match everywhere, search engines and AI tools can connect them to one business with confidence.

Is entity SEO the same as schema markup?

No. Schema markup is one tool inside entity SEO. Entity SEO also covers the visible wording on your pages, consistent details across your profiles and listings, named people, and outside sources that confirm your facts. Markup alone cannot fix a business that describes itself differently in different places.

How much do entity SEO services cost?

Entity SEO is included in every package at $799, $1,500, or $3,500 per month. Businesses with several locations, a recent rebrand, or a name shared with other companies usually need the $1,500 or $3,500 package for the wider work.
