Entity consistency

Entity consistency is how closely your brand's name, category, products, location and other core facts agree across every place AI engines read about you. When sources disagree, engines describe you differently depending on the question or engine, or pick the wrong version.

Where the facts must match (checklist)

  • Your own site: homepage, About page, product pages, footer, Organization schema.
  • Google Business Profile, if you have one.
  • LinkedIn, Instagram, X and other official profiles (bios and links).
  • Marketplaces and retailer listings (for Indian D2C: Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa and others you sell on).
  • Business databases and directories (Crunchbase, startup and industry directories).
  • Wikipedia and Wikidata, only if an entry already exists. Do not create one for promotion.
  • Press boilerplate and media kit.
  • Review sites and comparison articles that describe you.

What to keep identical

Brand name spelling, one-line description, category, founding year, headquarters city, product range, price positioning, and official website and social URLs.

How to fix inconsistency

Fix your own pages first, then the profiles you control, then ask third parties to correct outdated facts. Use the same one-line description everywhere. Add sameAs links in Organization schema so engines can connect your profiles to one entity.

How ClerAEO measures it

ClerAEO stores what each engine says about your brand and which sources it used, so you can see where engines describe you differently and which pages they relied on.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take for AI engines to pick up corrected facts?

It varies. Engines that search the web live can reflect changes once they recrawl the page; facts learned during model training change only when the model is updated.
