Entity Building & Google’s Knowledge Graph
Have you claimed your Google Knowledge Panel?
Have you built out the entity of your company in a way that Google can understand who you are and differentiate between you and your competitors?
Jason Barnard, founder & CEO of Kalicube, joins Loren Baker, founder of Search Engine Journal, on the Search Engine Journal Show to discuss the importance of entity building with Google’s Knowledge Graph.
In SEO, the goal is to package our content in a way that educates Google so that it can answer user queries in the most credible way.
As you build your brand, Google considers your entity (preferably your home page) as the first explanation of who you are, what you do, and who your audience is. Once it realizes that, you can present corroborating sources/links to support your brand.
“This is a niche within the SEO industry where the technique might be the same, but the order of priority is quite different. There are certain mistakes that may occur that you have never seen before since it’s such a specific area of work.” – Jason Barnard
“Google is a child that really wants to understand and our job is to educate it.” – Jason Barnard

“In the world of SEO, there’s no way that you can learn everything and stay on top of everything. It’s just impossible, but if I can learn a little bit about what everyone else is an expert at, yeah, and also share that with thousands of people at one time, I’ve not only done a little bit better for myself but I’ve helped to educate quite a lot out there and bring
your story to everyone else.” – Loren Baker

Getting your events into the Knowledge Graph
What festivals are happening this summer near me? Where can I catch a jazz concert, see a comedy show, find a performance of MacBeth, or participate in a 5K race? Millions of users ask Google questions like these about upcoming events every day — but to answer well, Google needs *structured data* directly from the most authoritative websites for each event. In this talk, we’ll describe how event organizers, performers, venues, ticketers, and website hosts can participate in Google’s new event search features. We’ll cover: the new JSON-LD markup format; new schema.org properties for specifying event information in detail; how events are linked to the Knowledge Graph; and what it takes to show your events in Search, Google Now, Maps, and more.
