How AI Search Works
Also: knowledge graph, entity graph
A knowledge graph is a structured network of entities (people, places, brands, concepts) and the relationships between them, often modeled as triples (subject, relation, object). Google's Knowledge Graph powers knowledge panels and helps engines understand who you are. A clear, consistent entity presence makes you easier to recognize and cite.

Search and AI engines reason about entities, not just strings of text. If your brand is a well-defined, consistently described entity across the web, the model can connect facts to you with confidence.
Entity clarity, structured data, and consistent descriptions across trusted sources all feed how an engine places you in its knowledge graph.
