Entities
People, places, organizations, and concepts that search systems recognize and link together in knowledge graphs to interpret content intent.
Entities are distinct, machine-recognizable things—people, organizations, products, and abstract concepts. Modern search uses entity recognition to resolve ambiguity (“Apple” the brand vs. the fruit), enrich results, and connect related topics. For SEO, consistently naming entities, supplying disambiguating context, and using schema help models place your content in the right graph neighborhood. This matters for eligibility in rich results and AI answers because systems select sources they can confidently attribute. Entity hygiene influences naming conventions, author bios, about pages, product specs, and how you reference third-party concepts that support your claims.
