Entities power modern search

Search engines and AI assistants resolve queries to entities — brands, products, concepts, people. LayerSEO detects missing entities on your pages versus top U.S. competitors and recommends schema and copy changes to close topical gaps.

Knowledge graph eligibility

Google's Knowledge Graph and AI Overviews cite entity-rich, authoritative content. LayerSEO scores entity coverage density, co-occurrence patterns, and schema markup completeness — the signals that determine whether your American brand appears in AI-generated answers.

Entity gap analysis workflow

Run a LayerSEO audit on your target URL. Review the entity gap report against top-ranking U.S. pages. Add missing entities to headings, body copy, and FAQ schema. Re-audit after publish to measure ranking trajectory impact.

Schema markup for entity SEO

Organization, Product, FAQ, and Article schema reinforce entity signals. LayerSEO validates existing markup and recommends additions aligned with how American competitors structure their structured data.
