Knowledge Graph

Knowledge graph, A 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.
