KGMID

KGMID

Description
A unique string identifier assigned to each recognized entity in the Knowledge Graph, used by Google to track, compare, and manage entities internally. Also known as a KGID.
The KGMID definition
The KGMID (Knowledge Graph Machine ID), or KGID, is a unique string identifier assigned to each recognized entity in the Knowledge Graph. It's how Google tracks and manages entities internally.
How Jason Barnard uses KGMID definition
We identify and monitor clients' KGMIDs using tools like the Knowledge Graph API. Once found, we strengthen the connections between the ID and corroborative sources to maintain control and consistency.
Why KGMID matters to digital marketers
Your KGMID is your anchor in Google's brain. Without it, or with the wrong one, you lose control of your Knowledge Panel and how AI systems perceive your identity.
