Schema and Structured Identity
Implement Person, Organisation, and Brand schema that gives AI crawlers a structured definition of who you are and what you are an authority on.
Citation Baseline Tracking
Measure entity recognition progress through citation monitoring — validating that entity building efforts translate into AI appearances.
