## What it does

The skill covers entity-based SEO. Search engines stopped matching keywords and started reading meaning, so a clearly defined entity is easier to tell apart from a same-named one. Inside you get the definition of an entity, its attributes and relationships, plus a walkthrough of the Knowledge Graph and Knowledge Panel — how they work and what you can actually do about them.

Output includes an audit of identity gaps for brand, product and author, Organization and Person schema with `@id` for linking entities across pages, and a consistency checklist for name, logo and description across every touchpoint. For Organization, the skill advises placing the markup in the root layout rather than the homepage alone, so it lands on every page; an About page uses AboutPage instead.

It leans on neighbouring topics: `schema-markup` for the full placement table, `eeat-signals` for author signals, `generative-engine-optimization` for citation in AI answers. If you only need structured data markup and nothing about entity identity, reach for `schema-markup` — this one goes wider.

## When to use it
- link brand, product and author into single entities for search engines
- separate same-named entities so the brand is not confused with lookalikes
- build Organization schema with `@id` and place it in the root layout
- check that name, logo and description stay consistent across platforms
- shape content that AI answers can cite

## Example prompts
- run an entity audit of the brand and find identity gaps
- build Organization and Person schema with @id for entity linking
- give me a consistency checklist for name and logo across all touchpoints

# SEO: Entity SEO

Guides entity-based SEO—making your brand, product, and authors recognizable as distinct entities in search engines' knowledge systems. Google moved from keyword-matching to meaning-based understanding (Hummingbird, RankBrain, BERT, MUM); entity understanding is central to how search processes queries. Content structured around entities can receive ~3.2× more visibility in AI-powered search. References: [Semrush](https://www.semrush.com/blog/entity-based-seo-strategy/), [Search Engine Land](https://searchengineland.com/guide/entity-first-content-optimization).

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Scope

- **Entity definition**: Singular, unique, well-defined things (person, place, organization, product, event)
- **Entity vs keyword**: Entities = underlying concepts; keywords = text strings
- **Knowledge Graph**: Google's entity database; powers disambiguation and related concepts
- **Implementation**: Schema (Organization, Person); entity signals in content; consistency across platforms

## What Is an Entity?

An **entity** is a thing or concept that is singular, unique, well-defined, and distinguishable—e.g. person, place, organization, product, event. Entities have:

| Attribute | Meaning |
|----------|---------|
| **Unique identity** | "Apple Inc." ≠ "apple (fruit)" despite same word |
| **Attributes** | Founding date, location, industry |
| **Relationships** | Connections to other entities (e.g. Apple Inc. → Steve Jobs, iPhone) |

**Entity SEO** = optimizing so search engines can identify, categorize, and connect your brand/product/author within the knowledge graph. Keywords are ambiguous; entities maintain consistent meaning across contexts.

## Why Entity SEO Matters

- **Search evolution**: Google uses entities to understand intent, not just match phrases
- **Knowledge Graph**: Billions of entities and relationships; disambiguation, related concepts
- **AI search**: Entity-optimized content ~3.2× more visible in AI results
