What is Entity Disambiguation?

Entity disambiguation is the work of separating a brand from other entities that share or resemble its name, so that search engines and AI models attribute the right facts, reviews and citations to the right company. Techniques include consistent naming with location or founder binding, schema identifiers, sameAs links to verified profiles, and citations that repeat the same canonical description.

How it shows up in our work Bonsai Marketing binds its own entity to Santa Rosa, Sonoma County and founder Bryan Fikes for exactly this reason.

Does Siri name you — or your competitor?

Assistants return one or two names, not a page of results. AnswerSlot reads your Google profile and your site the way an assistant reads them, asks the models the questions your customers actually ask, and shows you what came back — including the business it named instead of you.
