Search engines no longer simply match keywords. They understand entities—people, places, brands and concepts—and how they relate.
What is an entity?
An entity is a distinct, identifiable thing. A brand, a product, a city or a concept can all be entities. Search engines build knowledge about them and their relationships.
Why it matters
Content that clearly connects to relevant entities is easier to understand and match with searches, including conversational and AI-driven ones.
Topic modelling
Topic modelling groups related concepts. Instead of one page per keyword, build comprehensive coverage of a topic with a pillar page and supporting articles.
Practical steps
- Define core topics tied to services.
- Map subtopics and questions.
- Create pillar and supporting content.
- Link them logically.
- Use clear, consistent names for the brand and its offerings.
- Add structured data to describe entities.
Rethink keyword selection
Choose keywords by meaning and intent, including less obvious terms customers use.
