Entity optimisation

Search engines and AI systems think in entities: businesses, people, places, services. Entity optimisation makes sure your business is a clearly defined, consistent entity everywhere it appears.

What is an entity?

Quick answer

In search, an entity is a uniquely identifiable thing — such as a business, person, place, product or concept — that a search engine or AI system can recognise and connect to other entities. Your business is an entity with attributes like its name, location, services, founders and website.

Why entities matter

When systems understand your business as a clear entity, they can connect it to relevant questions with more confidence: this business offers this service, in this place, for this kind of customer. Confusion — different names, conflicting addresses, unclear services — weakens those connections.

What entity optimisation involves

  • A definitive About page stating who you are, what you do, where, since when and who runs the business
  • Organization schema with your official name, logo, contact details and links to official profiles.
  • Consistent NAP — name, address, phone — across website, Business Profile, directories and social profiles
  • Consistent service naming across your site and profiles
  • Founder and team pages where relevant, with real credentials
  • Third-party confirmation — listings and mentions on reputable sites that state the same facts

The consistency audit

We collect how your business is described across your website, Business Profile, major directories, social profiles and other mentions, then list every inconsistency. Fixing these is unglamorous work, but it is one of the most reliable improvements for both local SEO and GEO.
