The context of an entity is directly related to the quality score and thus ranking of that entity for a given search query.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Context is therefore essential in enabling Google to build out its entity knowledge base and to serve answers appropriately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I described the idea of brand associations in my personal blog many years ago now, and this is along similar lines. Context being as important as it is, the relationship our brands have with other brands and other ideas online are essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means, as marketers, we need to be aware of the associations our brands have more than ever. When our brand is mentioned, it needs to be mentioned in relation to our services, our location, our people – all the things you’d expect as standard, but things we might have given little thought to – until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is where a discipline like PR really comes into its own. By pitching your brand and your people for features which better align you to your core products\u002Fservices\u002Flocation etc, you can help to strengthen the associations between your brand and those things, thus aiding contextual understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, those of us involved in the content production process will need to be more aware than ever of the importance of context within copy. We can use this to create contextual associations – e.g. ‘Impression, a digital marketing agency’ as opposed to ‘Impression, an agency’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"using-context-as-a-tool-for-improved-on-page-optimisation\">Using context as a tool for improved on page optimisation\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Context is really important in helping Google to understand your business and offering. It’s also very powerful in helping you to improve your own search rankings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, if you wanted your SEO page to rank for ‘SEO’ related queries, you’d want to ensure your first cover all the expected elements of what SEO is, and that you supplement this with additional information that answers questions the user is likely to ask as a follow up. As Dave suggests, Google is looking to provide its users with answers as quickly as possible and, where the ranking page can also benefit that user by answering related questions, even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"what-to-do-now\">What to do now\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, this patent doesn’t really tell us anything brand new. The idea of ‘entities’ has existed for years and the concept of Google using logic to better understand those entities is reflective of any other ranking-related patent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is does do is to highlight the importance of content structure and placement. By investing time and thought into strategic content and PR, you can strengthen the associations of your business and improve your online visibility along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"google-plus-as-an-entity-development-tool\">Google Plus as an entity development tool?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Here’s a slightly more out there idea, but see what you think…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We know that Google introduced ‘collections’ to Google Plus last year. And we know that Google Plus information is used to feed the knowledge graph, as least in part, already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It goes to follow then that Google Plus collections contribute to the contextual understanding of an entity. I’d suggest building out those collections, even if Google Plus isn’t a platform you actively use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2913\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fimages.impression.co.uk\u002F2021\u002F05\u002Fge97WoaR-entity-processing-google-plus.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&q=90\" alt=\"entity processing google plus\" width=\"856\" height=\"562\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n",false,"standard",[10],1,[],[13],135,[15,16,17,18,19,20,21],"post-2912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-seo",{"page_content_modules":23,"hero":135},[24,90],{"acf_fc_layout":25,"reduced":26,"top_overlap":-1,"bottom_underlap":-1,"disable_observer":26,"title":27,"content":6,"authors":28},"blog_post_content",true,"How Google’s latest entity patent should influence content and PR producers for SEO gain",[29],{"id":30,"path":31,"display_name":32,"job_title":33,"description":34,"avatar_url":35,"acf":36},33,"\u002Fabout\u002Four-team\u002Fimpression-team\u002F","Team Impression","","This post may have been written by a past member of the Impression team, or be a collaboration of us all.
