AEO Strategy

Brand Entity

A brand entity is your brand's digital identity in knowledge graphs and AI systems. It includes structured information like brand name, description, services, location, founder, and relationships with other entities.

Why It Matters for AEO

AI search engines need to first 'recognize' your brand as an entity before recommending you. Building a clear, consistent brand entity is the starting point for all AEO work. Brands without entity identity are virtually invisible in AI search.
