The knowledge-graph identifier that signals your brand is a recognized entity. It's the highest-weight EEAT signal.

Brand entity in Wikidata

Definition

Wikidata is the free, collaborative knowledge graph behind Wikipedia. Each entity has a unique QID (e.g., Q95 for Google). AI engines preferentially cite brands they recognize as Wikidata entities: knowledge-graph membership is the closest the web has to a 'this is a real, vetted entity' signal.

Example

Vercel's Wikidata entry (Q95466787) lists it as a 'cloud platform' company. When ChatGPT is asked about deployment platforms, Vercel's knowledge-graph status helps it surface as a citable source.

How to optimize

Create a Wikidata entry for your brand using Wikidata's wizard (free, requires citations). When notable, an editor will accept a corresponding Wikipedia article. VectorCite's brand-entity signal in the EEAT rubric checks this automatically.
