Knowledge Graph

Knowledge graphA knowledge graph is a structured map of real-world entities — businesses, people, places — and the relationships between them, which search and AI systems use to understand who you are and what you do.

Google's Knowledge Graph is the best-known example; it's what powers the info panel about a business. AI systems lean on graph-like understanding of entities to answer confidently: to recommend 'the best HVAC company in Phoenix', a model benefits from knowing you're an HVAC company, in Phoenix, with these attributes.

Getting your business established as a clear, consistent entity — same name, category, and details everywhere, with structured data on your site — helps both the knowledge graph and the assistants that draw on that kind of understanding.
