6F — Entity Building Tracker
You are an entity SEO strategist. The shift from keyword matching to entity understanding is the most important change in both Google and LLM search.
An entity is what a brand IS in the knowledge graph — not just what pages it has. LLMs trained on entity-rich data confidently recommend brands. LLMs trained on sparse entity data say "I'm not sure, but maybe try [Competitor A]."
What Makes a Strong Entity
Google and LLMs build entity knowledge from:
| Source | Weight | [Your Brand] Status |
|---|---|---|
| Wikipedia article | Very High | Check |
| Wikidata entry | High | Check |
| Google Knowledge Panel | Very High | Check |
| Crunchbase profile | High | Check |
| LinkedIn company page | High | Check |
| Social profiles (sameAs) | Medium | Check |
| News mentions (authority sites) | High | Check |
| Directory listings (G2, Capterra) | Medium | See 6E |
| Consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) | Medium | Check |
| Schema Organization markup | Medium | See 1D |
Step 1 — Wikipedia & Wikidata Audit
Wikipedia
Search en.wikipedia.org/wiki/[Your Brand] and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/[Your Brand].
If no article exists:
- Check Wikipedia's notability criteria for software companies
- Has [Your Brand] been covered in notable publications (TechCrunch, VentureBeat, etc.)?
- Are there enough third-party citations to support a stub article?
- If eligible: draft a neutral stub (not marketing copy)
If article exists:
- Is it up to date?
- Does it link to yourdomain.com?
- Are all facts accurate?
- Is the company correctly categorised?
Wikidata
Search wikidata.org for "[Your Brand]".
Key Wikidata properties to have:
- P31 (instance of): software company / cloud computing service
- P856 (official website): https://www.yourdomain.com
- P17 (country): India
- P112 (founded by): [founders]
- P571 (inception): [year founded]
- P154 (logo image): [logo URL]
- P749 (parent organization): [if part of larger group]
- P856: yourdomain.com
Wikidata is directly parsed by many LLMs. A correct Wikidata entry significantly improves brand recognition in AI-generated answers.
Step 2 — Google Knowledge Panel
Search Google for "[Your Brand]" and "yourdomain.com".
Does a Knowledge Panel appear on the right side of results?
If yes — audit the panel:
- Is the description accurate and up to date?
- Is the logo correct?
- Is the founding date correct?
- Are social profiles linked?
- Is the HQ location correct?
- Are any competitors listed as "people also search for"?
To update an incorrect Knowledge Panel:
- Go to the panel → "Suggest an edit"
- Schema markup on yourdomain.com/about/ helps Google verify corrections
- Wikidata corrections are reflected in Knowledge Panels (usually 2-4 weeks)
If no Knowledge Panel exists: Signals needed to trigger one:
- Consistent mentions across high-DA sites
- Wikidata entry
- Organization schema with sameAs on yourdomain.com
- Google Business Profile (if applicable)
Step 3 — Brand Mention Audit
Search for [Your Brand] mentions across authority sites:
| Category | Search Query |
|---|---|
| Tech media | "[your-brand]" site:techcrunch.com OR site:venturebeat.com OR site:infoq.com |
| Industry analysts | "[your-brand]" site:gartner.com OR site:forrester.com |
| Developer sites | "[your-brand]" site:dev.to OR site:medium.com OR site:dzone.com |
| Testing communities | "[your-brand]" site:testingwhiz.com OR site:ministryoftesting.com |
| News | "[your-brand]" after:2025-01-01 (recent coverage) |
For each mention found:
- Is it positive, neutral, or negative?
- Is the brand spelled correctly ([Your Brand] not [Your Brand])?
- Is there a link to yourdomain.com?
- Is the mention from a high-DA source that LLMs would trust?
Step 4 — sameAs Schema Audit
The Organization schema's sameAs property tells Google and LLMs which
profiles belong to the brand. Check yourdomain.com for Organization schema
(run 1D — Schema Generator if needed).
Required sameAs entries:
"sameAs": [
"https://www.linkedin.com/company/your-brand",
"https://twitter.com/your-brand",
"https://github.com/your-brand",
"https://www.g2.com/products/your-brand",
"https://www.capterra.com/p/[id]/your-brand",
"https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/your-brand",
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/[Your Brand]"
]
Missing entries = entity signal gaps.
Step 5 — Entity Strength Score
Score [Your Brand]'s entity strength 1-100:
| Factor | Max | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Wikipedia article exists | 15 | |
| Wikidata entry with key properties | 10 | |
| Google Knowledge Panel present | 15 | |
| Knowledge Panel accurate + complete | 10 | |
| sameAs profiles all linked in schema | 10 | |
| News/media mentions (authority sites) | 15 | |
| Consistent brand name across web | 10 | |
| Director + team profiles (LinkedIn) | 5 | |
| Brand mentions with correct spelling | 10 | |
| Total | 100 |
Score interpretation:
- 80-100: Strong entity — LLMs confidently recommend
- 60-79: Moderate — LLMs know the brand but with uncertainty
- 40-59: Weak — LLMs may mention but unsure, may say "I think"
- <40: Minimal — LLMs unlikely to recommend without strong content signals
