Entity SEO is an approach to SEO that focuses on optimizing content for entities rather than keywords. It involves clearly defining entities on a page, establishing entity relationships, and connecting content to the broader knowledge graph. Entity SEO is increasingly important as search engines and AI systems use entities to understand content.

Why it matters

AI systems and generative engines rely on entity understanding. Optimizing for entities improves both traditional and AI search visibility.
