Your brand as an entity: Knowledge Graph, Wikidata and markup

Why search engines and assistants need to identify you unambiguously: markup, matching details across every platform, external mentions. The technical side of being a recognised brand. Search engines and language models work with entities rather than words: a company, a person, a product, a place. Until there's a coherent set of facts about a company — who it is, what it does, where it operates, what others say about it — it stays a collection of pages rather than an entity, and there's nothing for an answer to name. What builds that coherence is unglamorous: organisation markup on the site, identical name, address and phone across every directory, company profiles, mentions in articles, an about page with real people on it. This page sets out what that consists of and what to do first. We don't sell it as a separate service — the work sits inside the retainer.

We don't sell this separately: the work is part of the retainer.

Why this matters

What happens without this work

🤷

Google doesn't know who you are

Brand search shows a mess. No Knowledge Panel — no algorithmic trust.

🔗

Absent from Knowledge Graph

Google Knowledge Graph knows billions of entities — yours isn't one. AI systems can't cite you.

👤

Authors without Person schema

Without author profiles with markup, Google doesn't associate expertise with specific team members.

📡

Weak data structure

Organization, Product, LocalBusiness markup missing or incomplete. Each missing entity = missing signal.

🌍

No topic association

Google doesn't link your brand to key niche topics — you lose topical authority.

What's included

What the work consists of

Knowledge panel

We work toward getting a brand Knowledge Panel in the right side of search.

Wikidata/Wikipedia

Creating or optimising Wikidata entries — the key source for the Knowledge Graph.

Structured data

Organization, Person, Product, LocalBusiness — full markup of all site entities.

Author profiles

Person schema on author pages — Google associates expertise with specific people.

Media mentions

Publications in authoritative sources strengthen the entity and link the brand to a topic.

Topic association

We associate the brand with key niche topics through content and links.

Methodology

How it works, step by step

01

Discovery & audit

We map your current AI/SEO landscape: what works, what's broken, where competitors lead. Tools: GSC, Ahrefs, MarketMuse, custom NEXUS agents for AI-mention monitoring.

02

Strategy & roadmap

90-day execution plan with clear KPIs, weekly milestones, and dependency mapping. You see exactly what we do each week and what success looks like.

03

Implementation

Our team executes — content, technical, link building, AI-specific work. Your team focuses on the business. Weekly status calls keep you informed without micromanagement.

04

Measurement & iteration

Real metrics every week: rankings, AI citations, traffic, conversions. We don't hide behind vanity metrics. If something underperforms — we pivot fast.

05

Optimisation at scale

Once a tactic proves out, we automate it (NEXUS agents) and scale across all your assets. Manual work doesn't survive long with us.

06

Strategic review (quarterly)

Every 90 days: full strategy review, competitor benchmark, AI landscape updates, next-quarter planning. You always know where we're heading and why.

Pricing

What it costs

AI search work

part of the retainer from $1,500/mo

We don't sell AI search as a separate package: preparing a site to be quoted by assistants is part of the SEO retainer. The scope is set after a free audit of the project.

We take it standalone in one case only — another vendor runs your SEO and you need the AI part. On our pricing page that's AI-search adaptation, from $1,000/mo.

What the price depends on

  • How many prompts and which assistants we track
  • How much of the site has to be rewritten for direct answers
  • Whether the brand already has external mentions or we build them
  • Ongoing monitoring or one-time preparation

Being cited cannot be guaranteed: the answer is generated anew on every request.

Comparison

AI/GEO vs traditional SEO

Both have their place. Most clients need a hybrid. Here's how they differ.

Traditional SEO

  • • Targets Google, Yandex, Bing organic
  • • Keyword-centric: title, H1, meta, content
  • • Link building, technical health, content velocity
  • • Movement shows later: search results change slowly
  • • Checked in Search Console and Yandex Webmaster

AI / GEO NEW

  • • Targets ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overview
  • • Entity-centric: brand recognition by LLMs
  • • Citation engineering, Knowledge Graph, PR
  • • Movement shows earlier: assistant answers are rebuilt constantly
  • • Checked against a fixed query list, re-run each month

Most of our clients run both in parallel: SEO for compounding long-term moat, AI/GEO for capturing the new generation of AI-mediated search.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Entity SEO if there's regular SEO?

Entity SEO works at a deeper level. A company represented in the Knowledge Graph gets ranking advantages — Google trusts familiar entities.

How do you get into the Knowledge Graph?

Through Wikidata (Google's primary source), authoritative mentions, correct Structured Data and consistent topical content.

Do we need a Wikipedia article?

Strongly helpful but not strictly required. Wikidata alone can build entity recognition. Wikipedia gives massive boost but has strict notability rules — we evaluate eligibility before committing.
