Entity SEO Tips

• Think of optimizing webpages for entities and ideas rather than just keywords. Google tries to understand webpages based on the entities mentioned.
• Use tools like InLinks that analyze webpages and extract the key entities. This helps focus optimization and content creation.
• Link important entities on a page to their Wikipedia URLs. This helps search engines understand the definitions of those entities.
• Create schema markup that identifies the key entities a page is about and mentions. This gives search engines a machine-readable summary of the page’s focus.

InLinks Tool Features

• Natural language processing to extract entities from webpages. It finds more entities than Google’s own NLP API.
• Automatically generates schema markup about the entities on a page.
• Interlinks related entity mentions across a website to highlight important pages.
• Content audit tool compares existing page content to competitor coverage of an entity/topic.
• Content planner tool suggests related entities that could be covered next based on current site content.
• Integrates with ChatGPT to write content, using the entities and structure identified by InLinks.

Other tips from Dixon Jones

• Focus optimization on entities specific to your business, rather than chasing general high volume keywords.
• Can use other schema plugins like Yoast in addition to InLinks for supplementary markup.
