Entity

AEO and AI search

An entity is a distinct, identifiable thing such as a company, person, product, or location. Search engines and AI systems use entities to connect facts across sources, which helps them answer questions confidently. For reputation, strong entity signals make it easier for systems to associate your official pages, profiles, and third-party references with the correct brand, reducing confusion with similar names.

Why it matters

Clear entity signals reduce misattribution and improve the accuracy of brand summaries.

Example

Your brand name, logo, legal name, and official profiles are consistent across your site and major platforms.
