Instead, it is to establish clear relationships between your brand and the subjects you want to be recognized for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This helps search engines understand the broader context of your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Google_Understand_Entities\"><\/span><b>How Does Google Understand Entities?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google uses numerous signals to understand entities and relationships. These signals can come from websites, structured data, authoritative publications, business profiles, public databases, links, mentions, and other sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One important concept is Google&#8217;s <\/span><b>Knowledge Graph<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is designed to help Google understand real-world entities and the relationships between them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, when someone searches for a well-known company, Google may understand:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What the company is<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What products or services it

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How other trusted sources describe it<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means modern SEO is increasingly about <\/span><b>context and

Traditional Keyword SEO<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional SEO often focuses on optimizing a page around a specific keyword.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Keyword:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8220;digital marketing agency&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A traditional approach might focus on placing this keyword in the title, headings, URL, content, meta description, and links.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entity SEO goes further.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It asks:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"
