Entity Recognition

Definition

Entity recognition is how AI systems identify and connect a brand, product, or person as a distinct entity rather than a loose string of words.

Strong entity signals (consistent naming, a Wikidata entry, structured data, trusted mentions) help engines associate your brand with the right category, which makes it more likely to be named in answers.
