The Entity Identity definition
This is the clear, consistent, and unique digital fingerprint of an entity, including its name, description, logos, and topical focus—everything that tells algorithms "who you are".
How Jason Barnard uses Entity Identity definition
We lock down identity consistency across every digital platform, including websites, schema, and social media. This consistent signal tells machines that this is one coherent, credible, and trustworthy entity.
Why Entity Identity matters to digital marketers
If your digital identity is fragmented, Google won't connect the dots, and you'll be misunderstood or ignored. Entity Identity ensures you are recognized, remembered, and correctly categorized.
