Entity SEO: Content Production with Google's Entity Logic

·7 dk min read·Editorial Team

What is Entity?

For years, traditional SEO has focused on counting words (Keyword Density). However, the modern Google structure tries to understand not the words, but the concepts that the words represent (person, place, brand, concept, object, etc.). In Google literature, each semantic concept is called **Entity**. Search engines use the huge Knowledge Graph database to analyze the relationship between entities like a human.

The Importance of the "Things, not strings" Concept

When search engines see the word "Apple", they understand whether it is a fruit (Apple) or a hardware company (Apple Inc.) by looking at other words surrounding it, that is, LSI Keyword networks (Gibbous, iPhone, Tim Cook, Vitamin C). In the new generation E-E-A-T concept, in order for an author or brand to become an authority on a certain subject, it is necessary to satisfactorily process the "Assets" of that sector within its own text and establish a network with other authorities.

How to Optimize Your Pages for Entity SEO?

  • 1. Examine Wikipedia and Top Competitors: Look at the bolded links or FAQ sections on your target keyword's Wikipedia page. The words there are directly the natural Entities of that subject. Without establishing that network of assets, your content will remain superficial (Thin Content) for Google. To automate this, you can use our Entity Map and Entity Extractor tool to discover related topic clusters
  • 2. Build Sentence Structures According to NLP: Google Natural Language algorithm works according to Subject-Predicate-Object sequences. Build your sentences with simple, clear expressions that connect directly, as if you were giving a lesson to a teacher. Decoration words delay bots from identifying the concept.
  • 3. Schema (Structured Data) Usage: Embed the `about` and `mentions` parameters from the Schema Markup structure in `JSON-LD` to give Google clear clues about the entities of the text's content. Thus, you directly declare your authority by saying "The SEO term on our site is the same entity described by the SEO page on Wikipedia."
  • 4. Brand Mentions (Co-occurrence): Wherever authoritative brands mention your name in the same sentence with their own, then they indirectly lead you to gain a reliable Backlink building profile
